There’s a full broadcast crew. Is this being streamed somewhere?
The signage refers to the “YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 presented by Hyundai”. Many arty types present. Sponsorship announcement?
So, they’re the kind of people who go on those whale-annoying cruises. Scoffing icecream and chips at 9am. And we encourage this?
Ah, Circular Quay before the tourists arrive. Pleasant enough.
Maybe I’ll start action for false advertising if I’m not “amazed” by the supposedly “amazing” pictures.
Dear Media, please stop telling me that things are “astonishing”, “shocking”, “amazing” etc. I’m capable of my own emotions, if appropriate.
Mobile, Part A: Stanmore station; Circular Quay station; Sydney Opera House. I will try not to stab anyone this morning.
Brian and Ilsa, symbols of America’s looming middle-class uprising. Or something. http://arseh.at/rq
@SnarkyPlatypus Contrairement à votre croyance, ma vie ne peut se résumer dans les paroles des chansons pop des années quatre-vingt.
Wed plan: 0930 YouTube event at Sydney Opera House; lunch; 1400 [potential] client meeting Chatswood; remainder TBA.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Une fois de plus je vais affronter les étendues sauvages de Circular Quay. Je vis dans la peur. Et vous?
Optus’ Maha Krishnapillai lambasts NBN critics over wireless and leave-to-market ignorance. http://arseh.at/ro
Statistics prove it, I say! Feminists eat felafel, gays eat shepherd’s pie. http://arseh.at/rn
Ah.
NineMSN’s FIXPlay video service seems incapable of maintaining a video stream at primetime. A bit poor, I’d say.
“Listen, Jeremy, you don’t seem to understand. Nothing you want is ever going to happen. That’s the real world.”
That Bankwest advert with the little dog at the wedding just tells me that Bankwest employees are second-rate losers. Not a good message.
@CapricaStar It’s not journo events that are killing me, but the usual mix of a bad shoulder and insomnia. I know who to blame.
The codeine is working. This is a bonus.
“If you ever feel a little useless or depressed, just remember, you’re not just a little useless.”
What the hell is it with so many media things at 9am this month?
This has to be the creepiest image I’ve see so far this month. http://twitpic.com/1il6g0 HT @danielstone
Home, again, and sweating.
@danielstone Yes indeed, Teenage Zombie Army will take over. Soon. Have you seen commercial TV lately? It’s only a matter of days.
There’s an empty Passion Pop bottle in the street outside Oporto. It is a sign!
@expectproblems I am too afraid to ask about The Change…
Mobile, again: Enmore Rd; King St; bank; lunch.
Hah! Today’s Rangawords: ‘You know you’re back in Queensland when the “southern media” means the Courier-Mail.’
RT @rod3000: Is it just me or is this the face of the forthcoming zombie apocalypse? http://arseh.at/qv [It’s not just you.]
Earlier today I saw a woman who looked exactly like @expectproblems except for 1. the beard 2. the breasts.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: I need a PA to debone my chicken. [I am seriously not sure about this euphemism…]
Hmmm… I have a 1300 briefing via phone but the document I am being briefed on does not seem to have arrived. I shall be so insightful.
@unsungsongs I don’t think it’s properly interactive if I’ve still got my pants on.
Oh, and the device is “revolutionary”. Of course it is. And it has “unique features”. And “social media is integrated”. Sigh.
In what sense is this media release “interactive”? It’s just a page with a PDF file and a few images to download. Talk about a wank!
Home.

Thank God there’s a bottle shop at Circular Quay.
Loose at Circular Quay.
Fifteen chocolate biscuits for breakfast, that’s healthy, right?
RT @delperr0 Why don’t we have interviews with the Chinese miners who get trapped? Oh, cause they die.
I’ll be interested to see how gushy the arts media get over this one.
@jasonlangenauer Look, it’s a well-organised circle jerk at least, and a global one. Tho I’m not seeing how I’ll be able to file anything.
Leading US composer and conductor Michael Tilson Thomas encourages copyright infringement of a favourite cabaret artist.
@SnarkyPlatypus You should show more respect for the poor deprived American middle class. They think of your needs constantly.
There’s an augmented reality app so you can play music into the project without owning an instrument. Fully buzzword compliant FTW!
It’s a “magical” project, so does that mean it’s an iPad?
Ah. A collaborative play-in-the-orchestra project, wherever you are globally. They’ve done one before, but this will be MOAR BETTER.
