Video day today. Appeared in a soon-to-be-released show talking about Photoshop 7. Lots of fun flubbing lines and making a fool of myself. All for 2.5 minutes of air time. Felt like an info-mercial geek. Then later in the day on a video conference link to Noida (near New Delhi) in India. Didn’t have to wear shoes in either instance!

Using the Nikon DX camera, we took the following shots. Russell was the guru, I was his student.Russell Brown and Nick Hodge in New Zealand

Australia finally arrives in the 21st century. You can order booze online, groceries online, do your banking and pay bills. All that pales into insignificance as you can now order Pizza online
Today I visited the new National Museum of Australia. I found it a little under-done. There is no doubt the external architecture is impressive; but the content is limited in range and appeal. If you ever get the chance, you must visit the New Zealand National Museum in Wellington: Te Papa. It is an impressive testament to the New Zealand people that their museum is packed with information, relics and learning that we Aussies are missing.
For those readers in Australia, there is a really interesting Political site Crikey.com.au that is worth a visit.
