Richard Giles and I chat about some things that have been on my mind lately, including:
How Christians who justify Yahweh’s kill count in the Old Testament just prove my point that they are crazy and dangerous.
Some history on the Bhagavad Gita
WIRED: How Madison Avenue Is Wasting Millions on a Deserted Second Life
Some history on Fidel Castro If you want a quick overview on why the US hates Castro, watch this video.
Rich is going to be on the Boing Boing “Rule The Web” podcast this week
And “G’Day World” is on the first page of Google results for the search term “G’Day”! Thanks for the tipoff Molly! I knew you’d come in useful for something someday!
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.
Add me to your Twitter account.
Do me a solid and digg the show.
Get the TPN version of Particls.
Don’t forget to make use of my new comments line – +613 9016 9699.
You can now buy transcripts of this podcast from Pods In Print.

Tom Reynolds has uploaded some photos from MODM 4. This one is of me and the guys from the much-discussed MyLiveSearch. They are coming on the show this week for a yarn.

Aaron Heath sent me this image:
Reminds me of the Point of Inquiry podcast I listened to this morning with Peter Irons. Irons is “a noted constitutional scholar, historian, and lawyer, he is the author of the bestselling May It Please the Court; The Battle for the Constitution; War Powers: How the Imperial Presidency Hijacked the Constitution; and A People’s History of the Supreme Court. His newest book is God on Trial: Dispatches from America’s Religious Battlefields.” In the podcast he mentions that the “Founding Fathers” of the US were very clear that the country was NOT based on Christianity or any other religion. They were fighting FOR separation of church and state and yet, somehow, many Americans seem to have turned that on its head.
For all our problems (and, having just watched BLOOD DIAMONDS, we don’t have many), Australia is at least not run by the religious right. Not yet, anyway.
Aaron also has this video on his blog. Nicely done.

The original shield on my video ipod (the “invisibleShield”) was starting to look very tacky after almost a year – the edges had started to slightly peel away and all manner of disgusting shit was getting stored under them, I was starting to worry I was breeding a new form of life – so yesterday I dropped into an Apple store and bought a packet of eShields. Got home, peeled the invisibleShield right off, and the iPod was covered in gluey shit. So this morning, like an idiot, I pulled out some nail polish remover to try to remove the glue.
Yeah. Idiot.
Especially when I tried to use it on the screen.
A tip for the kids out there – DON’T DO THIS. My screen is now covered in smudgy patches which look like microscratches. Gah! Of course, I googled it AFTERWARDS and there is like a million sites warning DON’T DO THIS which I am reading too late.
Now I’m trying to figure out if the much-ballyhooed BRASSO strategy from last year is worth a go or will just make things worse. Anyone out there tried it or got a better idea?

Geoffrey Bowll is the MD of Melbourne-based ad agency Starship. I chatted with him yesterday about the demise of TV, the rise of the creative class and the fragmentation of media. It was great to find someone in the Aussie advertising industry who is excited about social networking, Second Life and Twitter.
Speaking of which…
