As has been pointed out to me, at the time of writing, this crappy little blog has a higher Google PageRank than Youtube (4 to 3). I think that's got to be worth something, so I've decided to sell out. Going to the highest bidder you can plaster some advert across my blog.

Starting bid $5,000.

My friend Alan has pumped out a new sleek design for Nengun. Nengun is like the one stop shop for performance automotive parts direct from Japan. So if you want to rice up your crappy little corolla give them a visit

Seriously though, he has done a great job. As well as the new look he has introduced some new functionality to the site. There is now a members section where you can be a show off by adding a profile and pics about your riced up corolla. You can then branch off to pages listing all the compatible parts for your car, which is a cool way to navigate. There is also plenty of other improvements to the overall shopping experience. Go check them out.

The rivers of money flowing into the government’s coffers present both problems and opportunities. Our growing economy and population is producing demands for increased spending on infrastructure, health and education. Some people believe tackling the growing inequality in Australia should be the top priority with increased focus on services for those left behind by the economic boom. A recent survey indicates most Australians believe the surplus is the result of being overtaxed. So, should the money be given back as tax cuts or will that drive up inflation and interest rates? Is the solution for the government to save and invest the money as an insurance against an uncertain future?

The above paragraph is a summary of the latest episode Different Of Opinion A show aired on ABC and hosted by Jeff McMullen which aims to assemble a panel of free thinkers to discuss the biggest challenges facing Australia's future.

This week they discussed how the massive $20billion surplus should be spent. The panel featured Dr John Hewson. Now I wouldn't exactly call myself a Liberal fan, especially under Howard. But I have to say Dr John Hewson, the former Liberal leader really impressed me. He put up the argument that political decisions should be conducted in the framework of global climate change. It's a shame no current politicians think this way.

I highly recommend watching this episode, which can be downloaded from the abc website. It made for thought provoking television.

I see that Nick Flanagan has made the cut in his first tournament on the big stage, the Turning Stone Resort Championship. I'm sure Nick would be happy very with that start. If you're not aware, Nick gained his PGA Tour card by winning three tournaments on the Nationwide Tour this year.

Update: Nick Flanagan has finished in a tie for 18th in his début start as PGA tour player. Top twenty, what a terrific way to start!

Ok, I admit it, I'm a dag, I really enjoyed watching Brothers and Sisters. Most of all I enjoyed watching Sally Field's performance. She was outstanding, such a mother!

It's late, the Emmys are on, normally I would run a mile. However I've stayed up. I'm curious to see if Sally Field's fabulous performance as Nora Walker will be recognised and earn her a nomination and an Emmy.

It has! Sally Field has got the gong. I'm happy now .. going to bed.
