Ewan Spence is podcasting his little highland heart out at SXSW (on TPN Tech Conf and now also at SXSW Baby) and he just did an interview with Harry Knowles, the legendary film nut behind Ain’t It Cool News! That’s awesome! I’ve been a fan of Harry’s for years and years. Well done Spencester!
To take your mind off the news today that Eddie Van Halen has checked himself into rehab, I present this clip of him performing his porn soundtrack “Catherine”. Just try not to watch the last few seconds where he throws his guitar on the floor and takes a swig from a bottle of Johnny as he shambles out of the studio…

Garry Barker’s article from our chat with Phil Burgess is in today’s Age (Business section). Online version here.
On episode 211 my guests are Dr Phil Burgess, Group Managing Director, Public Policy and Communication, Telstra and Garry Barker, Technology Editor at The Age. We spent an hour at Telstra’s Melbourne offices this morning discussing the state of broadband in Australia.
Phil is often in the news (here are some recent stories) debating the broadband issue with other Australian corporate executives, the ACCC and the Federal Government, but this is a rare opportunity to hear him speak (loudly and passionately) about Telstra’s official position on the broadband debate for an hour.
Thanks to Phil and Garry for participating and to Paul Crisp and Rod Bruem at Telstra for making it happen. I know Phil is a supporter of blogs and podcasts (he is the guy who make Telstra’s ‘Now We Are Talking’ blog happen) so hopefully this will just be the first of many such conversations.

The G’Day World Theme Song is “Save Me†by The Napoleon Blown Aparts.
Brian Flemming’s bio on his blog says “I make movies, I write plays, I blog.” You have to admire that kind of brevity.
The main reason for chatting with Brian was to talk about his 2005 documentary “The God Who Wasn’t There” which he describes as “a feature-length documentary partly exploring what amounts to Christianity’s dirty little secret: That Jesus Christ probably never existed at all.”
