Uncle Mike: Munge Brother Pioneers

I had completely forgotten about the Munge History of video production.

In the early 1990s, when Adobe Premiere was a new thing, and Quicktime overshadowed anything Microsoft had until at least 1995 – we created this video.

Starring Uncle Mike, Uncle Paul, Uncle Peter (Peter Harris) and myself – the DOSBOX (original Munge Car) and Mike’s passion for windsurfing intersected my passion for the Newton PDA. We created this little advertisment as an advertisement for Random Access Consulting; or the Munge Brothers.

Billy Thorpe: Australia’s Loudest Man goes Quiet

There will be many Australian sharpie Baby Boomers very quiet today. The hero of loud, Australian Rock and Roll, Billy Thorpe, died at 60 of a heart attack over night.

I wonder if in this election year, the pollies will pull a State Funeral. I hope so, as the impact his music had on that generation surpasses many who get a State funeral.

Inspiration from the Valley Vista Party

Stephanie Quilao, from Silicon Valley, recently hosted a Vista party. I wasn’t invited, sadly.

However: this guy was. He’s 12 and he’s programming using Visual Studio on Vista. We all want to know more!

Microsoft has the Express versions of Visual Studio available for free. That’s right, no cost.

Then pop over to Coding4Fun to see what you could code. Every day I have an idea that I would like to see written as a piece of software. Do you?
