Channel Nine has decided that Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Hells Kitchen is not enough Ramsay to satisfy the average Aussie viewer so it’s decided to add The F Word to it’s weekly lineup.
I’m not going to rant and rave but I’ll open it up to you guys:
Loading ...Telstra have just announced that they will be selling the iPhone 3G from July 11 which is a massive surprise to most of the Apple / Telecommunications community as up until now there was no official announcement and to be honest not too much rumor too.
Not only have Telstra hit us with a right hook they have followed with a stunning left jab by releasing pricing too at the same time! Whammy!
From their press release:
If you’re one of the 16% percent of XBOX 360 owners who have had to replace their console due failure you would understand my frustration where all of the content (map packs, arcade titles) I had bought from the XBOX Live Marketplace became unplayable when not connected to the internet and signed into XBOX Live.
The reason for this is due to Microsoft’s crippling DRM (Digital Rights Management) and not taking into account that a significant amount of their users have had to replace (Microsoft call it upgrading) their console.
After a rather lengthy hiatus Gav, Stu and Fu have regrouped and kicked off ‘Season 2′ of the HundredPennies podcast.

I hope you’re ready for the final part of my Alchemy Index review, since this ones going to be a big one feel free to skip to the final verdict if you’re too lazy to read. While I found Thrice’s first two volumes to be slightly lacking in depth, they’ve more than made up for the disappointing Water EP with the final two volumes of III:Air & IV: Earth.
Congratulations to Heath Tully for ticking off yet another of his goals on project 183.
For those unaware this project consists of completing 183 various goals/achievements before the time he hits 30. So far he’s completed 32 of these goals including, getting a motorcycle license, being a contestant on a TV game show, completing a rubic’s cube in under 183 seconds & abstaining from alcohol for 100 consecutive days.
If you’ve read my previous post then you should know that Thrice have recently announced an Australian tour to promote the release of the final volumes in their Alchemy Index project. I therefore though it would be a good time to write up a full review of this ambitious four volume epic, which I’ll be breaking up into two parts. Without further ado here’s my coverage of Volume I (Fire) & Volume II (water).
My 12″ PowerBook died (may you rest in peace ‘Pete’) so I promptly replaced him with ‘Black Betty’ my shiny matte new MacBook. I loved the size and style of ‘Pete’ but a brand spanking Intel processor a couple of GB’s of RAM and all the other treats that ‘Betty’ has to offer has made the mourning period rather brief.
As with all new Macs ‘Betty’ comes with an inbuilt iSight and I thought I should do something with it so following in the footsteps of Raj and many others I’ve decided to take one photo a day for the next 365 days.

Just read this morning from the good guys over at Bombshellzine that Thrice have recently announced a tour to coincide with the completion of their ambitious & variable Alchemy Index albums.
Melbourne is the only state lucky enough to host two shows so make sure you don’t miss the chance to see Thrice playing at the Corner Hotel on Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st of August. Details for the other shows can be found here.
