Not actual container robbed
Brazen crime or just tomfoolery, you be the judge. Though it is a damn shame to have procured so much beer (~$35,000.00) and then get nicked for it and lose your stash as well.
Its getting that a guy can’t even enjoy a beer and a quiet smoke without being arrested.
To be honest is Hoegaarden even a good beer ? The reviews are not that great.
4G Comes to Australia……well Perth actually

Perth's advanced routers
Mitchell Bingemann, over at The Australian reports that Kerry Stokes and the Seven Network are going to launch a 4th Generation mobile broadband service through subsidiary Vividwireless. Original Article
But why Perth of all places to test the rollout? Could it be due to the under-served broadband market in WA as stated byVividwireless chief executive Martin Mercer?
Or as Mitchell speculates is it more to do with Stokes media stranglehold in Perth making for a great integrated media strategy, either way the East Coast loses, if only things had gone differently in 1933.
When little birds sell flights

virginblue twitter
Crikey’s Plane Talking has a piece about Virgin Blues tweeting of $9 fares in celebration of their 9th birthday, media release and twitter feed.
As Ben Sandilands rightly (Plane Talking author) comments, whilst this is great for both Virgin and their potential customers, it does exclude a sizable portion of the population from participation, which is the problem.
As more and more corporation’s services are delivered online in an attempt to look all web2.0 and maximise profits, this technocratic illuminato sees the vast digitally unwashed masses once again clammering at the gate to get in.
Imports from Blogger

Well, went to get all my amazing photos and blogs from blogger and import them using WordPress, only to discover/remember that it was all rubbish, well except for this shot:
This was taken whilst waiting for a bus to work with my son at Southbank Busway, I catch a lot of public transport, so expect that sort of stuff to rear it’s topical head, every now and again.
