Ad for Digital Radio
“Now there’s a song I haven’t heard for quite some time”, I thought to myself when I heard it on the radio. It’s odd, because when “Flotation” by “The Grid” was released back in about 1990 (as I recall), I was quite a fan. It was one of those songs that I played for months [...]
Kate with an L
“Shouldn’t that be a B?”, I thought to myself when I saw the Kate Lush poster at the Lewisham Hotel. It was another exceptionally quite night at the pub. Aside from our group there was just a handful of others. Seriously? How do they make any money? The barman told us they have a big [...]
Radio Days Conference – Day 2
The day started and ended in a way with the word “spectrum”. The second day of the conference was only for half a day, and therefore not as intensive as yesterday. There was still a lot packed in though, and we had a nine o’clock start which I thought was a little ambitious for the [...]
Radio Days Conference – Day 1
I was definitely back in “work mode” today, as I attended “Radio Days Europe”. It’s the first ever meeting of commercial and public sector broadcasters in Europe. By a show of hands, it was 30/70 today. It’s a conference I read about a few months ago, wrote to one of the organisers asking if they [...]
Chinese New Year
Kate and I spent much of the evening at the launch of Chinese New Years Celebrations. Despite the rain, a crowd of about 5-10,000 people gathered in Belmore Park, opposite Central Station. Officials from two levels of government – state and local – spoke about the importance of the festival as both specific to be [...]

Never Leaving My Bed
You might recall I recently bought one of the new eeepc’s – 1008ha seashell – which means I can now surf the web (and blog) from my bed. Well tonight I bought some more technology: a digital radio specifically for my bedroom. I’ve been holding off on buying a digital radio, believing all of those [...]
Train to Cronulla
I’m normally quite a good “public transport sleeper”. I can, for example, hop on a bus at Railway Square, going into a deep “power nap” and wake up seconds before I need to get off the bus in Surry Hills On a plane, I am normally asleep before take-off, and also wake up just seconds [...]
Valentine’s Day
I spent an awful lot of today in the company of James Valentine. Tonight his CD launch was held at Raval. As I understand it, it’s a fairly new live music venue on the second floor of the Macquarie Hotel on the corner of Wentworth and Goulburn Streets. It’s a pub I most often associate [...]

Can’t sleep? Here’s a radio station that will help…
Knitting Day
It was another long day at work. Again, I woke at a stupidly absurd hour, though it was all for a good cause with our annual “Knit In”. It’s really quite a wonderful event to be involved in, especially as the blankets made go towards people in absolute need. Chatting to one of our “interns” [...]
