Video upload sites like YouTube and Google Video are useful, but their currency is in the past. They rely on events that have already occurred, been captured, edited and prepared for the moment when it’s finally viewed. Furthermore, the viewer will most likely be someone you’ll never meet.
In many cases this will be [...]

Lis and Maddie went to a music class this week which unfortunately chose this song to play during one of its most popular activities. As a result Maddie has had Buggles on the brain all week and I’ve been subjected to this bloody clip no less than a dozen times today alone.
That said, this [...]

I have nothing worthwhile to say tonight aside from the fact I’m proud I didn’t destroy another computer today and I’m looking forward to being in the Blue Mountains tomorrow.
Lest we forget why we have the day off though.

Today’s a pretty frantic day so I can’t devote much attention to this subject. However given my tremendous respect for Brian’s even-handedness and ability to avoid over-dramatisation, if he thinks this topic is significant it’s something I feel the need to both look into and pass along.

<param name=”movie” value=”” />
It’s late, but I couldn’t resist pointing you to a new site I located yesterday via TechCrunch called MediaMaster. It’s a new app on the block that lets you upload tracks or albums from your music collection (providing they aren’t protected by DRM restrictions) and stream them as a personalised radio [...]
