So the Coalition government in New South Wales passed their "It's not really about Clover at all" legislation through the upper house last night.

So I've finally acquired an android tablet to with my Android phone. I went down to my local ebgames yesterday and bought myself a Motorola Xoom.
Of course the first thing I did was to root the thing and put ice cream sandwich on it. It's running smoothly so far and I'll be looking into what else I can do with it.

You know, there are times when I'm thiiiss close to really considering the Australian Greens as the party that could fill the void on the centre-left left by the Labor party, but then I see stuff like the 3rd Annual Green Oration and I go back to wondering whether we'll ever fill that niche again.
The Oration itself is an annual event setup by Bob Brown with the following focus:

Look, I understand that for a lot of people, Wikileaks and Julian Assange are very important. Wikileaks has opened up a number of different cans of worms, and is an expression of openness taken to the extreme (all communications should be open, etc, etc).

So yesterday I had a bit of whinge about the fact that I couldn't update my Logitech Revue because for some bizarre reason, they had geo locked the update.
