MELBOURNE–A note-to-oneself type of entry follows… I’m noticing now in 2007 more than ever that my folio sites – see the right nav – that I helped or solely designed and developed over the past 13-odd years are now several generations past and redesigned.

MELBOURNE–Aloha and welcome to the oh-seven. Hilarious Sue and Adam adventures on the day before new year, so I still had the cognisance to turn up for work Jan 1. What follows is a very nascent Bob Ellis article about something pretty evil amongst the news coverage I worry myself with each day. Jingos!

Off to Sue’s family abode for yuletide gaiety. Note the surrealpolitik channel is now in archive mode until I start broadcasting again. Jollies to you. WABS: Brisbane 24-29 Dec.

Getting very tired, not had a break since January. Is that a not too subtle clue to the future? WABS: In Sydney Oct 6-11. Hoo ha!

MELBOURNE–Ah yes, the cold is indeed breaking here in the south, and stay tuned for the probably ordinary news of my bicycle stunts as I go out today to get me some wheels. The impetuous for which is my starting presenting the morning edition of World View this coming week. Click the link for the frequency across Australia.

Yep, I’m back reporting, back at SBS in the Melbourne office, working for World View, the “cross cultural meeting place” of feature-style radio reports and some news/current affairs. It’s on nationally 6-7am and 5-6pm weekdays, and truly is a whole lot of fun… when one can come up with enough ideas, and the time to produce it, to fill 2 hours of radio every day.
