Via Simon Sharwood’s twitter, I just learned that Vernor Vinge’s “Rainbows End” has just won the coveted ‘Best Novel’ award at the Hugo Awards! A massive congratulations from all at TPN to Vernor. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend getting yourself a copy of RAINBOWS END. It is a brilliant imagining of what the net will probably look like in 2025.
Vinge was recently on G’Day World and I guess this is as good a time as any to give it another plug! Listen to my July 2007 interview with Vernor Vinge here.

My guests today are the guys behind Australian Anthill magazine – Publisher and Editor-In-Chief James Tuckerman and Editor Paul Ryan. 
I chat with James about how he walked out of a well-paid job in PR to start the magazine when he was 26 (or was that 27? 28?), the early years, where they are today and the vision for the future. Paul chats about his different job interview and role in the company.
Become part of the G’Day World conversation.
I’ve created a couple of groups inside Second Life. You can now add yourself to the following groups:
Friends Of G’Day World
MODM
The Podcast Network
If I knew how to link directly to those groups from here, I would. But I don’t. So for now you just need to search for them in-world. Or you can add “Cameron Switchblade” to your friends and check out the groups I belong to.
If you’re a member of Facebook, you can ADD ME AS A FRIEND and then ADD YOURSELF TO THE G’DAY WORLD GROUP.
You can show your love by buying me stuff from my Amazon wish list.
Add me to your Twitter account.
You might DIGG the show.

Picked up this link from Colin’s twitter. Apparently he was ripped off by a Ted’s Camera Store in Melbourne and they refused to give him a refund. Don’t buy camera gear from stores like Ted’s Camera Stores. ALWAYS buy it online from Singapore or Hong Kong via Ebay. You’ll save 30 – 50%. Read Colin’s full story here.
