… from the disease we call "ageing" and Aubrey de Grey is determined that we can stop it. Check out these amazing videos of his recent speeches at the TED2006 and TEDGlobal conferences.

A friend just pointed me to this site.
ReelTime Media Ltd ("ReelTime") is rolling out Australia’s first national broadband TV (bTV) service to offer current release movies, TV episodes, favourite library titles, arthouse, foreign film and much more…all within the comfort of your home. Our content will be available for download to your PC in August.
Some experienced Non-Executive Directors on their board, including a former CEO of Channel Ten and a former CEO of VideoEzy. The site says the content will be DRMd but no mention of price or what the playback devices will be. You can sign up to be notified when they launch. I’ll try to get someone from the company on the show.

And much much more!
Keep up to date with John’s activities on his blog. And here’s a link to the Half-Life “portal” video from Valve that John refers to. It is the coolest thing I have seen in ages.
PS I’d like to apologize to everyone (esp Garth Kidd who apparently has some deep-seated issues to deal with) for the slurping noises on the recording. But DAMN that was a good Chuppa-Chup. Yoghurt. Mmmmm.
Ewan Spence, TPN’s master of mayhem, is at it again – 30 podcasts in 30 days. It’s The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Last year, the podcast was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA. This year he’s got interviews lined up with The Goodies and Harry Shearer, just to name two. Make sure you sign up.
Janet Parkinson has written an extremely flattering review of G’Day World in the latest edition of the Podcast User Magazine. She also reviews a handful of other Aussie podcasts which I’d never heard of but will be adding to my feeds. Thanks Janet! There’s also a great interview with our very own Ewan Spence about this year’s upcoming Edinburgh Fringe Festival podcast.
