First time I remember seeing a “Skype Us” logo on a large company’s website.
Cait from TPN’s Global Geek podcast (and one of the original MODM’ers) pointed me to this story in the news today (see article below).
This link between Hillsong Church and Gloria Jeans isn’t new to me.
I blogged about it back in 2005. I was wondering why that post was getting so many hits today!
Yet another example of Christians doing harm in the local community and why I say the whole religion is dangerous and why I stopped drinking Gloria Jean’s coffee a couple of years ago (apart from the fact that it sucks).

I just got this error while I was trying to schedule my tasks for today into my diary. I’m guessing it relates to the 1000 duplicate diary entries I had to delete last night which we caused by Google’s new Outlook synch application. And now I’m locked out of adding new items to my calendar! Arrrgh. Yet again, living in the cloud fails the most basic of requirements.
This is a new thing I’m staring – a blog post containing links to every TPN episode from the previous week. You can get it via RSS or email.

See how the Democrats and the Republicans are just the same party? Nothing is going to change until we find a way to re-engineer the system, folks.

The kids and I went to The Blue Train Cafe today (my last visit to one of my long-time favourite Melbourne haunts) for lunch and I took my geometry kit. This is one of my favourite ways to relax. There is something about working out basic platonic solids and golden ratio designs, armed with only a compass, ruler and pencil, which completely absorbs my attention and concentration for an hour and gives me a bunch of joy. I never paid attention to geometry as a kid. It’s only been the last five years or so that I have been so fascinated by it. The book that I use as a guide, “Geometry Of The Golden Section“, is something I picked up in a little bookshop besides the abbey in Vézelay in France in 2004. If you ever get a chance to visit Vézelay, do it. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The abbey does a polyphonic mass which is beautiful enough to impress even a militant atheist such as myself. And the abbey itself, which is from the 9th century, is simple amazing. Anyway, as I was saying – I loves me some time with a compass.
Today we have a return of the “Cam Heart To Heart” show – aka “the rant” – where I don’t bother with a guest, I just tell you about what’s been on my mind lately. Today I talk about getting myself a performance coach, about reading up on Carl Jung, on Karl Marx, the Russian Revolution and ask, yet again, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING WITH YOUR LIVES???
In the background I’m playing these songs:
