A little birdy today tells me that the upcoming edition of B and T Magazine has me listed as one of the “40 most important people in digital marketing in Australia” or “top 40 digital media” something. Or something. It has a 40 in it. Anyway… Thanks Brad. I look forward to reading the article and seeing who else is listed.
Strikes me as kind of funny. A couple of years ago I wasn’t even in the top 40 people working at Microsoft Australia. I was just another faceless schmuck working deep in the bowels, getting zero respect. Now at least I’m in the top 40 of something. Isn’t that what life’s all about? I wouldn’t care if I was listed as “Top 40 People Named Cameron Who Live In Yarraville”, I’d still be pleased as punch. My ego needs the boost.
In all seriousness – you guys know that I am nothing special. I know nothing special. I don’t have a degree, don’t have any special qualifications. No special experience. Nothing special about me at all. I’m just an average bloke with some cool $10 Elvis sunnies.
If a schmuck like me can make the top 40 of something after a couple of years, imagine what you could do if you applied yourself? Stop making excuses. Do something meaningful (to you) with your life. As the old bloke says “There isn’t a moment to lose.”

On episode 214 I have Rich and Gra from Scouta on the line. As most of you will know, Rich and Gra used to be podcasters on TPN before they selfishly and wantonly deserted me to run their own start-up. Do I hold a grudge? Do I ever. I’m like Tony Montana. Don’t cross me. I get my revenge today by singing Rainbow Connection to them. That’ll teach them.
Anyway, for those of you who haven’t already checked out Scouta, it’s a pretty cool idea. It’s a website where you can tell it what online videos and audio shows (like, for example, this podcast) you like a lot and it will recommend new things for you to watch and listen to.

I just discovered Lonely Planet TV – the recently released update to Lonely Planet’s website. Think YouTube but with a purely travel focus. I just watched this video on the Chinese Night Markets and its pretty cool, people eating grasshoppers, scorpions, sea urchins and starfish.

My guests today are Dr Kris Klugman PhD and Bill Rowlings from Civil Liberties Australia. I invited them onto the show to help me understand what’s happening with a variety of civil liberty matters such as:
David Hicks
Dr Phillip Nitschke’s book
Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock
Banning of Muslim books
Sedition and other “anti-terrorism” laws passed in Australia
The use of fear as a tool of manipulation
Free Speech
An Australian Bill of Rights
The troubling rise of the Christian Right in Australia
Gay marriage
If you are troubled, as I am, by these issues, then get off your backside and DO something about it. Join the CLA, write a blog, record a podcast, run for politics, create some street art, just DO SOMETHING non-violent. Don’t get sucked into this bullshit mindset of “what difference does it make?”. That’s what “they” want you to think. Remember – you boil a frog slowly.
