Shekhar Kapur, born 6 December 1945 in British India (in an area which became part of Pakistan) is a renowned filmmaker from India. His works include Elizabeth (1998), Bandit Queen (1994) and his new film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007).
He writes a very revealing blog (link) and is trying to raise $1 Billion for a new media fund for investment in Asia (link). He was recently at the X | MEDIA | LAB in Melbourne. I captured an interview he did on stage with XML founder, Brendan Harkin.

Cait pointed to this on Twitter. There is some debate in the article about the interpretation of the data, and it isn’t the first time I’ve seen researchers claim to have broken the speed of light (I remember having an email conversation with Aussie physicist Paul Davies about the teleportation of an electron about 7 years ago) but just the very idea that the speed of light isn’t a fundamental barrier in physics could open up a lot of possibilities, especially for intergalactic travel… one day.
The two scientists say they have now tunneled photons “instantaneously” across a distance of up to one meter. Their conclusion, stated in a recent paper, is that the speed limit of special relativity has been violated. Dr. Nimtz claims quantum tunneling is a little understood process that is “the most important” aspect of quantum physics, one that may be responsible for the computational efficiency of the human brain. |

On August 10 2007 I attended the X|Media|Lab in Melbourne and had the opportunity to interview a number of the key speakers. I’ll be putting those interviews up over the next week. This first one is with Brendan Harkin, the Founder and Director of X|Media|Lab.
Brendan founded X|Media|Lab in June 2003. X|Media|Lab is the internationally acclaimed cross-disciplinary creative thinktank for digital media professionals which brings together some of the world’s outstanding creatives, executives, and power-brokers to work as mentors with local companies on their own digital media project ideas.

A few months ago I was on the phone to a friend of mine and said “The questions you ask yourself define your reality”. My friend then introduced me to the work of Dr John Demartini. A few things surprised me when I read the information on his website. The first was that he actually sounded a lot like me, so I knew he must be a good, highly intelligent guy.
The second surprise was that he was one of the people featured on “The Secret”. Now… you know what I think about that film. And there seemed to be a disconnect between the stuff I read on Demartini’s site and what I remember from the film (it’s been a year since I saw it).
Then, in a “synchronicity” moment (one of Demartini’s favourite words), Dr Peter Ellyard introduced me to author Liliane Grace (her podcast, based on her book “The Mastery Club“, will be starting on TPN soon) and who should have written the introduction to her book?? Dr John Demartini.
So I asked for an introduction, had my people call his people, and today I got to chat with him from his hotel in Seattle.
Listen to how he separates his work from the mumbo-jumbo of “The Secret” and his tips for figuring out how to get the most out of your life.
You can find out more about his books and seminars on his website (link) and you can get a free CD with more information on the “Demartini Method” by clicking on this link:

Hey folks! It’s been an interesting week as those of you following my Twitter feed already know. I just thought I’d give you a few updates.
I know I haven’t put out a show since last week and that’s mostly because I’ve been trying to focus on selling some advertising this month. However, I do have a few interviews in the can and I will get them up over the next week or so. They include video interviews with some folks I met at the X MEDIA LABS event in Melbourne last week (including UK film director Shekhar Kapur) and Ryan Trainor, one of Australia’s youngest serial entrepreneurs.
And over the next couple of days I’ve got interviews scheduled with Dr John Demartini, an American motivational speaker and author (who was one of the people featured in the film “The Secret”), and a special edition I am producing on the state of broadband in Australia which will feature interviews with senior executives from a number of leading Aussie ISPs.
So stick around.

For those of you who were following my Twitter posts last night about my borked PC, I managed to fix it at 2am after FIVE HOURS working on it. It started crashing repeatedly yesterday morning after Windows Update installed somethings. I did a System Restore around midday which seemed to fix it, but then Windows Update ran again (!) and the 2nd time System Restore wouldn’t fix it. So last night I spoke to IBM support, they were clueless, and I had to nut it out myself. After five hours spent upgrading the BIOS, drivers, and everything else I could think of, I finally had a brainwave to unplug all of my USB hubs and try booting. HURRAH! It worked. Turns out, Windows was crashing due to a problem Windows Update caused with an external USB soundcard which had been working JUST FINE for the last six months thank you very much Microsoft.

Could a couple of jets crashing into the WTC in NYC on 9/11 bring them down? No, said Frank Demartini. Who was he? Only the Manager, WTC Construction and Project Management. Watch this video interview he did in Jan 2001 where he says he thinks a couple of jets could fly into WTC and they would still stand. The great irony? Demartini died on 9/11.
