A Step Forward For Music Streaming in Australia
It seems my predictions of 2011 being the year of streaming has official begun, with the introduction of Australia’s first on-demand music service available on Sonos. In a lot of ways, Australia has been a few steps behind in media streaming. Services like Netflix, Pandora, Rhapsody and Spotify being unavailable in Australia, has highlighted the problems with licensing media streaming internationally. Companies are having to individually negotiate licensing deals with each country and frankly, Australia hasn’t been number one on the to do list. This is why, I am happy with... Read The Rest →

Well, over the past two weeks, I have been dealing... Read The Rest →
What Would You Do For Five Dollars?
What would you do for five dollars? Well, from what I can see, a lot of people will do a bit for the cost of a coffee and donut. A couple of days ago, I was listening to the Small Business Big Marketing Podcast. Host Tim Reid spoke about his recent addiction to Fiverr.com. A service where people can submit tasks that they are willing to do for five dollars.

3 Goals Before 2011
It’s very common to use the start of a new year as motivation for change. Most people will only establish goals once a year, the New Years Resolution. Although I think it is fantastic to make positive change and set goals, it hit me the other day; Why wait until the end of the year to implement your goals? Thats why I have decided to start now! Its a fact that it takes time to create good habits. It can take well over a month before something feels natural in... Read The Rest →
Recording on the Zoom H4n

Here are some of my thoughts on the iPad after using it for a week.

NewsRack is my iPad RSS reader of choice at the moment. I love that I can easily share interesting blog posts and articles with friends on Twitter, as well as star/favourite articles for later use.
