Got this funny email from lil sister Anita:
You’re friggin’ everywhere…I was looking up stationery for work and Googled ‘roller papermate gel II’ to see what it was and the fourth Google entry was this!
Is there anywhere I can go without bumping into you???! Geez!!!!!!

The issue of B&T Magazine that I wrote an article about podcasting (what else?) in, is apparently out. Jon-Michail called me today to say he had his copy. My article is in the Digital Media insert.
******
In the discussion section of my Wikipedia entry, some larrikin has written “After attending the Remix 07 conference in Melbourne i contest this article and believe that it is grossly inaccurate.” WTF??? How could anything I did or said at Remix change anything in the Wikipedia entry? If you are going to slag me off folks, you need to try harder.

Does anyone out there know how to print a filtered outline in MindManager? I’m using Mindjet’s MindManager Pro 6 and when I filter my map to isolate certain tasks, and then view it in Outline View, the print option is disabled. Seems stupid to me. Anybody know how to get around this? I tried cutting and pasting it to Microsoft Word but Word doesn’t preserve the formatting (check boxes, icons, etc).

I can’t believe I *still* do not have a listing in Wikipedia.

Anyone out there got the edition of B&T Magazine which came out last Friday? I think that’s the one with my article in the Digital Media insert. UPDATE: Ignore that, I think it doesn’t come out for another week?

Apparently, this 16 year old kid called J Milburn doesn’t think I am “notable” enough to be in Wikipedia. J Milburn deleted a page about me that someone (might have been Daniel Bowen, he brought it to my attention) put up. Of course, TPN is in Wikipedia (thanks Tom). But apparently my role in that doesn’t make me “notable” enough, in J Milburn’s view. What I’d like everyone out there with a blog to do is to write up a small post about J Milburn and tell him how notable you think I am. Make sure you link to this post. Mmmkay?

Atheism is pretentious and cowardly – says this guy Theo Hobson with the Village People mustache.
The best bit is the attitude and number of comments! The “militant atheists” give Theo a kick in the pants. Judging by that mustache, he might enjoy a little bit of that too. Thanks to Russell Buckley for the link.

We’ve got about 35 people registered and a few of them have told me they are bringing friends, so it should be a fun night.
So we know how many to cater for, please register here if you are coming.
MODM is a new event for Melbourne’s Online Digital Media community to socialize and talk about everything that’s new in media:
+ Business models for podcasting, blogging, machinima, second life, mobile content, YouTube, MySpace, etc.
+ Using new media to change the world
+ The intersection of mainstream media and new media
+ How to build an audience, raise funding, legals, etc.
If you produce digital media, or want to produce digital media, this is the event for you.

If you aren’t on Twitter yet, you are probably wondering what it’s all about. It’s kind of like a steady feed of… stuff. Stream of consciousness from your friends. What they are doing, thinking about, reading, watching, etc. Here’s my last couple of days of twitters e.g. the things I’ve written. Inane? Or addictive? I guess that depends on your state of mind. In a way, it’s a kind of constant background conversation between your friends that all of you can see and participate in. Like most things internet, I guess it is what you make of it. If you and your friends write about what you had for lunch, so be it. Or you can write about the current news. Or ideas. It’s like that old quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
You can me to your Twitter friends list by going to my profile and clicking “add” in the sidebar.
