Are you covering any of the geek-week events for the Crikey bunker? Not as good as billable hours, but hey - promotion is wonderful. Transaction 2.0 looks like the highlight of the week... Look forward to hearing about it.

As Stil evolves into a household name throughout the realm of geekdom and beyond, trainspotters will be on the hunt for a viewer-recorded bootleg of <i>Stilgherrian Live Alpha Episode II: The Lost Sessions.</i> And because it'll be such a rarefied specimen, those same trainspotters will enjoy dissecting it as the blueprint for future greatness.

Cyber safety is important and anyone opposed to mandatory filtering must be careful not to confuse the two. Filtering has nothing to do with safety. Maybe an interview with a Sydney EFA'er on Stil Live next week...
