Intro to Windows Media Center
Monday, June 23rd, 2008In the early days of radio, the receiver set was expensive and sat in the lounge. Today, radios are in cars, mobile phones and the shower.

First Australian PM at Hiroshima? For Shame.
Monday, June 9th, 2008From the ABC: “Rudd lays wreath for Hiroshima victims”
Mr Rudd is the first Australian prime minister to visit Hiroshima's Peace Park and Memorial.
How embarrassing for Australia. Why has no other Prime Minister visited Hiroshima? Incredulous.
