Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in a cafe here in Brisbane, reading, thinking about how unlikely it was that Chrissy and I were both in Ajaccio at the same time last year. How, statistically, we should never have met. And then I started thinking about what lead me there… about all of the little events that happened over my life that put me in Ajaccio in July 2008. So I started to jot down this mindmap, tracing each event back in time to the event that had to happen, HAD TO HAPPEN, in order for me to end up in Ajaccio.

After a year of talking about it, I’ve finally decided to launch a podcast about Brisbane – Brisbane Confidential. The goal is to produce a weekly video magazine highlighting some of the best bits of Brisbane – the cafes, bars, restaurants, clubs, gigs, boutique shops and people that are making Brisbane a cooler place to live.

For the last six years, Dr Paul Twomey (born in Dalby QLD, raised in Brisbane) has been running the interwebs. SRSLY. As CEO / President of ICANN, he’s been the guy who makes sure all of the tubes and pipes are clean and smooth. I got to chat with him for 15 minutes last week about the biggest surprises and challenges he’s had while in the job. If you’ve never heard my interview with Vint Cerf, ICANN founder and one of the guys who literally invented the internet, check it out here.

That was the subject of a debate I was part of last week, run by AIMIA QLD. There were four of us on the panel and I was part of the “NO” team. Not by choice. It was fun and tough to make a case AGAINST the mobile phone, especially as I love my iPhone to bits.
Anyway, this show is a live recording of the event.

Based on this month’s idea from SaveTheWorld.tv (and thanks to @fddlgrl for the link!), I’m going to attend one of the Brisbane City Council meetings each month and will blog/podcast/tweet from there. I think it’s a great idea for all of us to start to get more involved in local politics, even if it’s just by attending council meetings and reporting what’s happening.
Apparently Brisbane City Council have seven committees that meet, so I’m looking for six other Brisbanites to attend the other meetings and report.
According to "the rules", you aren’t allowed to record a City Council meeting. I find that a bit strange.
Here’s the clever bit – the meetings are held weekly and DURING THE DAY (here’s the schedule). That’s going to make it difficult for your average wage slave to attend.
I’m going to attend the Infrastructure Committee meeting once a month.
Anybody else want to sign up to cover the others?

Via deusexmalcontent:
This forum "Teens Against Pornography" is a must read.
Are you addicted to pornography?
It’s a simple question. Are you? Have you ever decided to stop? Yeah, so have we. How long did it last for you?
It even has a podcast!
Teh pr0ncast offers practical, Christian-oriented advice to teens that desire to stop surfing porn (and the other act that goes with it) but can’t seem to kick the habit.
I can’t wait to listen to that one! One of the best posts is this one that deus linked to, where a forum member describes the "not abnormal" transition from innocent porn to feeling the need to watch videos about rape, homosexual acts, incest and bestiality.
I also like this post where someone asks "so i’m gay and sometimes i look at straight porn and get off on it. does that make me straight?"
Anyway, incest isn’t a bad thing in God’s eyes. Abraham married his sister. And they weren’t even from Tasmania.
