2008 kicks off with a bang

Well it’s February already and my new years resolution was to keep up with the blog. So far not so good.

Tech Talk Radio kicks off for 2008 tomorrow and all going well, it should be another great year. We’re launching our new look newsletter, so feel free to sign up.

Last week saw an interesting moment on ABC Radio. I was sitting in the Tardis (That’s where you go at the ABC when you want to sound like your in the same studio as a presenter in another state) and was on 891 ABC Adelaide listening to the 1PM news when I heard the Victorian Premier John Brumby in a door stop saying “Melbourne didn’t want to die and become like Adelaide) or words to that effect. Mmmm I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time I thought. Just then Robbie (the producer) piped up in the headphones… I’m not from Melboure I said; I from Mars today… He laughed. Would Carole get through our 20 minute chat without saying something? With a minute or so to go, I thought it had fallen off the radar, but alas “Your Premier…” she started. It was at this time I realised that I was looking down the barrel of a political gun. Far be it for me to throw petrol on the fire of what could become more interstate turmoil. It was ugly. Nooooo I thought. Anyway I think I got out of it unscathed. I’ll stick to tech commentary in future. I don’t mind politics there, but not in the mainstream. I’ll post the audio on the media page on TTR soon for all to hear.
