Maybe you should poll this question.

@Alex Willemyns: Yeah, but the problem is always thinking up one question, let alone several to choose from. There’s never enough traffic to make any poll meaningful, so I struggle to find something amusing and witty enough.

Maybe I should just find another dead celebrity to make fun of…

I’d be interested to know who is winning in the battle of Kylie vs Madonna vs Britney. Your readers would be an excellent indication.

@jason: You’re absolutely right. The poll for “ultimate pop princess” shall be set up tonight. Obviously we need to include Dannii as well… and… anyone else?

Amy Winehouse for the kids who don’t like “mainstream” pop. (never mind the fact Amy is probably more mainstream than Dannii Minogue)

Melissa Tkautz for the 90s inclined and the lulz. Then again, she is kinda obscure to non-Australians/trash pop culture junkies/E-Street watchers.

Olivia Newton-John for the oldies (or we could put in Lulu )

@SnarkyPlatypus Maybe the drab exterior of the Australian pavilion is to distract from Stephen Smith's surfie orgy inside. in reply to SnarkyPlatypus 10 hrs ago
@jareen I suspect you should not be quite so concerned about what my avatar is day to day. That way madness lies. in reply to jareen 10 hrs ago
Why does the Australian pavilion look like a gas terminal? No. Wait. I know. http://bit.ly/cc2gYk 10 hrs ago

ABC chair Newman out of line on climate change

11 March 2010 in Ecology, Media, Politics

ABC chair Maurice Newman, who is not a climate scientist or even any kind of scientist at all, is pleased to hear more non-scientists talking about climate science. I reckon that apart from being a tool he’s way out of line.
He clearly has no clue about how the ABC, as the national broadcaster, should be [...]
Patch Monday: WAN optimisation and the Facebook patent

11 March 2010 in Business, Internet

The perceived speed of your internet connection isn’t just about raw bandwidth. The National Broadband Network won’t automatically speed up everything.
In this week’s Patch Monday podcast, Steve Dixon from Riverbed Technology explains how inefficiencies in TCP/IP network protocols mean that latency can be as much of a problem as bandwidth. “WAN optimisation”, which is something [...]
