So, as you may be aware, I'm a bit of a player with shiny things kind of person. This means that I'm a little impatient when it comes to OS updates.
Needless to say that since Google announced jelly bean at io12 I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on the new beast.
Well thanks to the EOS crew I now have a highly experimental custom built jelly bean ROM on my Xoom.

Like sands through the freaking hour glass, so the Illawarra Labor party continues to rip itself a new one.
First a little background.
Back in 2010, former union president Stephen Jones was parachuted into the seat of Throsby to replace the departing former ACTU president Jeannie George (who had been parachuted in to the seat in 2001). All of this parachuting was as a result of a deal between the left and right factions of the Labor party, which gave the right access to certain seats in exchange for the left to have control over Throsby.

Hrmm,
Forgot to post about the Angry Beanie Rant at the beginning of the week, so here it is:

"Politicians do the same old dance on asylum seekers, the Queensland LNP "review" civil unions into the dirt, US Teacher goes full Klingon and the US Olympic ctte takes on the yarnists of the world"
Also, a bit of a Collaborynth Update. My time with the Local Government and Shires Associations NSW are coming to an end, written more here:

I've decided to try something new for me and run a weekly video thing on youtube.
Called Angry Beanie Rant, it's a 5-10 minute thing where I talk about some of the things that have annoyed me over the past week.
Here's the first episode:

Joe Hockey seems to have taken issue with a recent Delimiter article that pointed out that Joe might not be an expert on telecommunications network design.
So Joe has responded
First off, nice to see a politician actually engaging with his critics, so for that, kudos Joe.
However that's about where the loving stops.

Okay not happy.
I've just updated the Logitech Revue #googletv device to 3.2 (this by the way is going to be the last update the Revue gets, Logitech has stated explicitly that they won't be updating the Revue to ICS).
One of the features that I was looking forward to was an update to the Youtube App which would allow me to actually watch the Google Movies that I wanted to rent (Google Movies being the only option I have right now unless I want to go the Apple route).

I know it's usually bad form to read the comments on an article, but I recommend you read these if you want to see the brogrammer in the wild.
If you don't want to dig through the dross, the article itself is about Etsy (that craft site that allows you to sell you crafty items) offering $5000 grants to women who might want to be involved in the Hacker School programme but can't afford to.

Sigh,
Yet another article running the line that because we're all moving to wireless devices (such as smartphones, tablets and laptops) the NBN is now about as useful as clay tablets.
Look, let me use our home as an example.
We have a number of different devices that use wireless:
1 x iPad 1
1 x Xoom
1 x Nexus S (smartphone)
1 x Huwei Android Phone (smartphone)
1 x iPod 3
