    Cams’ World 12 July, 2007

    Got this funny email from lil sister Anita:

    You’re friggin’ everywhere…I was looking up stationery for work and Googled ‘roller papermate gel II’ to see what it was and the fourth Google entry was this!

    Is there anywhere I can go without bumping into you???! Geez!!!!!!

    ******

    The issue of B&T Magazine that I wrote an article about podcasting (what else?) in, is apparently out. Jon-Michail called me today to say he had his copy. My article is in the Digital Media insert.

    ******

    In the discussion section of my Wikipedia entry, some larrikin has written “After attending the Remix 07 conference in Melbourne i contest this article and believe that it is grossly inaccurate.” WTF??? How could anything I did or said at Remix change anything in the Wikipedia entry? If you are going to slag me off folks, you need to try harder.
