I just got an email from Jonathan Wrigley, my Apple source! He and Beti, the host of TPN’s Health And Fitness Podcast, are currently in San Francisco attending MacWorld. And they just got engaged! At the top of Coit Tower! My congratulations and best wishes to them both!
A little early with the show today.
Here’s what I rant about:
Apple has double standards when it comes to copyrights
The Separation of Church And State
Sargon I of Akkad, the first Empire builder
IODA PROMONET previews not working
I’ve still only had a couple of people sign up for my $50 Amazon voucher promotion. You know, at this stage, it could be REALLY easy to win.
Check out Miriam’s idea. The old reverse psychology trick. Then go and read her post on her background in self-harm.

The whole Apple iPhone mania spurred me to investigate some more this “multi-touch” screen idea. And I found this video:

Ewan Spence then reminded me that he interviewed the guy behind the video, Jeffrey Han, last year at E-Tech. It’s well worth a listen. I remember blogging about it at the time but I hadn’t seen the video at that stage. This blows me away. It is right out of Minority Report.

Hey How come nobody signed up for my promotion? You don’t want a free $50 Amazon voucher?
Every year since about 1990 I’ve been hearing rumours that Van Halen would be inducted finally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And every year the ceremony seems to go by without their name on the roster. So much so that most of us stopped listening to the rumours a long time ago. Well this year they finally brought home the bacon.
But as the article says, the big question is – who will turn up? The band officially at the moment is Eddie, Alex and Wolfie, Eddie’s son. They hate Dave. They hate Sammy. They hate Mike. Gary? Who knows or cares.
Great to see the band finally get the honour of the Hall of Famers but Eddie has run them so far into the ground, like a 6 year old boy killing a spider with a rock on concrete, that it’s probably too late for them to enjoy it.
