I read this quote today online and it sums up the way I feel about Microsoft better then anything I think I’ve heard before. And I’ve heard a lot before.
“…The most important factor to look at is job satisfaction. Do you want to work for a company that is constantly defending its position against smaller more creative companies or a company that is creating the future internet? Microsoft buys competitors then kills the product. Google buys competitors, funds them and makes them better than they could have been on their own.”
If that got your juices flowing then browse over to roughly drafed dot com and read their Why Microsoft Can’t Compete With iTunes article.

We’ve relaunched the Jiggy website. Now that it has a new interface we hope that it’ll get some more traction. I hope that it is a success for our client not only because it is good for New Zealand artists but (now back to wearing my geek hat) because it is also a great example of web 2.0 mixed with some really great functionality!The main features as I see them are:
- Its full of Ajax making the user experience a nice one
- The design and use of web 2.0 gradients is nice on the eye
- There isnt an easier way to buy an MP3… then sending an SMS
- The flash MP3 previews are pretty cool and make it harder to steal sound files
So what are your thoughts? Tell me its better then Coke Tunes. And of course don’t forget… the music will even play on your iPod!!!

Venice was thriving like any other tourist hot spot in the middle of summer, and apart from the sleazy Italian men selling canal rides for a ludicrous 90 Euros, the imported Indian men selling roses on the bridge, and the Tanzanians selling fake imported Prada on the Rialto… you had the distinct feeling of being somewhere old and brilliant.
I still wonder what the old founders of Venice must have been thinking when they decided to build a city on the sea though- obviously they had no concept of polar ice caps melting or the green house effect. I’m glad I got to see Venice and it was sad to see parts of it under water sinking. The main square San Marco was huge and it was surrounded by amazing old buildings from some century long past, on our second visit just three or four weeks later it was actually under water. I think it had been raining the night before which apprently will do it…

ahh I see you’re back, where were we…
After Zurich we missioned down to the Cinque Terre, the five fishing villages in La Spetzia we stayed at a Camping Village called Acquadolce and aside from, ultra rock hard ground, the noisy Italians next door smashing plates over their heads, and the early bird Dutch vacuming their tent at 5am it was perfect. Now seriously what type of person vacumes at 5am, what kind of person vacumes a tent full stop. Even if they are Dutch!!
