We'll be right back after this break…
A slower week on the online publishing front — which was why I spent it on a brief break in Adelaide visiting relatives instead.

Mobile Broadband, iPod Docks, Hack Attacks & Genuine On-The-Road Testing
I’m all over the August issue of Australian PC User. And, as it turns out, all over the road this week.

Taxicabs, Broadband Sites & Smartphones Made Of Chocolate?
It’s been a busy day today. Too busy, actually. So, what have I been up to? At Hydrapinion, my Carry column looked at how taxi drivers view GPS: Taxicab Confessions: “I was in the back of a cab yesterday — no, before you start wondering, this isn’t one of those kinds of stories…” At PC

Travel all over the countryside, ask…
If you have that jingle going through your head now, my evil work here is done. Well, not quite. But it is quite apt to describe today’s output. First up, at Hydrapinion, a discussion about why GPS “voices” are so rubbish: Hydrapinion: What’s so hard about being able to speak, proper, like? “Thirty years ago,

Stuck in the mud thinking
This week’s Geekspeak column folds in a fresh news story with something that’s been a pet peeve of mine for some time, namely people thinking that GPS will do the thinking for you. Geekspeak: Keep your brain in gear when using GPS: “The majority of the problem, however, isn’t in the GPS. It’s in the

GPS, iPad, and a Mac Mini made of Apple pie…
After a rather lengthy wait, the first issue of MacTheMag is out. OK, technically it’s the second issue, but that’s a long story for another day. Anyway, I’ve contributed fairly heavily to this issue, writing the cover story on iPhone GPS apps, the Mac Rumour roundup, the iPad guide, The MacTheCool pages (including an Apple

Storage, GPS, notebooks and near arrests.
So far, the highlight of my day has been nearly (but not quite) getting arrested at North Sydney station. Apparently I look a bit dodgy, and shouldn’t take photographs of things. Who knew? Otherwise, it’s been rainy and wet and busy, much like any other day. While I get on with it, you can amuse

Ordinary Heroes, there's one on every street…
Mmm.. New Howard Jones album. That’ll make up a nice number of subject lines for the next couple of weeks, methinks. With my “showing off” cap, I’m even in the liner notes…. albeit via a patronage/bribe model, but still… I’ve also been busy writing stuff. At PC Authority’s local Web site, I collected up as

I sometimes feel like a pelican – whichever way I turn, I've still got an enormous bill in front of me…
And bills must be paid. So it’s back to work I go. Firstly, PC Authority’s published some tips on getting the most out of the iPhone’s GPS: Amazing apps for your phone: How to make the most out of your iPhone’s GPS: “Still relying on Google Maps to get around? Here’s a quick summary of
Big Fish, Little Fish, Cardboard Box…
It’s been a bit quiet around this blog for a little while — a necessary side-effect while I take on board some rather drastic changes to the way I work, who I work for and what I do. Interesting times, and all that. In the meantime, though, it hasn’t stopped already written material appearing, both
