Julian Assange Speaks – getupaustralia

Some very good points made here, the Australian government should be fighting to ensure Julian is provided with Justice rather than death threats.

People in the US should be speaking out against their government’s stance on this as well.

Project Space Planes – Don’t buy Samsung

Well, what bonehead thought this one up???

I am sure some will say ‘Ooohhh what a novel idea’.

If someone sent a balloon up with a garbage bag full of paper and plastic trash and released it they would get charged with littering. What makes this any different.

I for one will not buy Samsung in the near future because of this.

Don’t get me started on helium ballon releases….

Wikileaks volunteer detained and searched yet again at airport – Boing Boing


Wikileaks volunteer detained and searched yet again at airport – Boing Boing

Now, this is awesome… I am sure this will come back and bite them:

• CBP edits and reads your file while simultaneously using Internet Explorer to search the web while you’re detained. That seems cybersecure!

I refuse to even transit through to the U.S. because of the way they treat people, even their own citizens.

Brisbane Floods

Well, we got through the floods OK.

The dive club will have some cleaning up to do, but luckily Chris had the foresight to have people move the boat and some equipment out of the shed:

I wonder what would have happened to the roof if the boat, an inflatable, had been left in the shed?
