My commentary on Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo! has been published in Crikey. It’s behind the paywall, but a free trial is available. I’ll write a public piece tomorrow.

All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive le poisson rouge sauvages!

Yes, Stilgherrian Live has returned, and last night’s episode of Stilgherrian Live Delta, episode 25, is online for your (re)viewing pleasure.
I was grumpy because we started 40 minutes late. A technical fault at Ustream prevented people hearing the audio, so we just had to wait. I’m not good at waiting. I was rude. Sorry.
Still, when [...]

prob not behind the paywall as it is in the Squatters’ Edition this arvo.
And you call that a “Disclosure” ??? Surely a better disclosure would be “Microsoft Evangalizers have
a. Not Taken Me Out For Outrageous Gastronomic Bribes Yet, or
b. Outrageous Gastronomic Bribe Gave Me Hepatis A / Gastro so
I’m pissed off with them”
(ps - I agree that this definition of “Better” is open to discussion; was probably thinking “Colourful” rather than “More Accurate”, but heck; nothing wrong with colour, huh? Unless u asked mum’s accountant…)
