Black Fingernails, Red Wine
Posted on October 29, 2006 by Richard
I’d just like to point out that I did make the call, 52 days ago, that Eskimo Joe would win Single of the Year, for “Black Fingernails, Red Wine.”
Tonight they won exactly that at the ARIA Awards.

Bravia’s New Advertisement
Posted on October 21, 2006 by Richard
I just saw the new Bravia advertisement on television. I heard about this a couple of months ago while appreciating the last one, and couldn’t wait to see the final result. It’s as good, actually probably better, then the last. Check it out here.
70,000 litres of paint
358 single bottle bombs
33 sextuple air cluster bombs
22 Triple [...]

Tangerine: BPM and Intensity in iTunes
Posted on October 21, 2006 by Richard
A year or two ago (I can’t remember exactly), I went hunting for an application for OS X that would analyze my iTunes library and give me the beats per minute (BPM). I’m a fan of very high tempo tracks, especially while working or running. Unfortunately I only found one application, and it didn’t work [...]

Geeks Inheriting
Posted on October 19, 2006 by Richard
A couple of days ago I pointed to the Bulletin article about Cam’s move to the US.
Those who are interested in funding Aussie startups should check out Randal’s thoughts on the subject (and note that a couple of VCs have their say in his comments). It’s interesting that Mike Zimmerman claims he was misquoted. As [...]

Office Fruit Baskets
Posted on October 18, 2006 by Richard
I’d like to congratulate my Perth Entrepreneurs cofounder Viveca Trader for launching her new business, Fruit-Express. Well done!
If you’re in Perth, working for a company that needs a little fruit injection, then you can place an order with Fruit-Express and they’ll deliver a fruit basket (of varying sizes) to your office each Monday.
I thought it [...]

Geeks Inheriting Nothing In Australia
Posted on October 17, 2006 by Richard
The Bulletin Magazine has a good piece on “web 2.0″ and funding in Australia, The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth. It highlights the difficulty in gaining attention and the right valuations as an Aussie Internet entrepreneur (note how the Bulletin uses an “i” for Internet).
Josh Gliddon chatted with me the other day for the article, [...]

Telstra Fires Corporate Blogger
Posted on October 15, 2006 by Richard
Cameron Reilly and I chatted with Thomas Reynolds the other day on G’Day World. Thomas was, until recently, a contractor to Telstra.
Thomas was told several days ago that his services were no longer required, and that it was related to blog posts he’d filed on Telstra’s corporate blog, nowwearetalking. Since then Cameron has reported a [...]

Is RegisterFly In Trouble?
Posted on October 15, 2006 by Richard
A few years ago a friend recommended a domain registration service called RegisterFly. I used it for a few years, even though the site itself was dog-slow (I assumed it was because of its popularity).
Over the last year I’ve switched to using GoDaddy. Mostly because RegisterFly became a lot more difficult to register domains, and [...]
