What not to do with a Forklift...

Look, it's long[ish], it's in German [with English subtitles], but worth every minute. Don't skip to the end, as this has a dark sense of humour that builds throughout. Genius.

Five star simple software #5: Ashampoo Burn Studio

To me it's rare in software when things just work as you really need them to, and that's the point of this not very regular spotlight series. You may have many pieces of burning software installed and often vying for attention, particularly if you have a new machine. [Nero, Roxio trials anyone?]

However this is free, simple, light, and comes with the ability to burn just about anything. Cd, DVD, even Blu-Ray discs are on offer. With enough tweaks under the hood for those that need it, but clean enough for newbies, it does an excellent job, and makes sure you don't end up producing DVD coasters.

Completely Free, no spyware, simple, and...just works. Enough said.

Picasa 3.0, It's all grown up and groovy.

A five star price of software I've mentioned many times before, Picasa, has had a massive update. Overshadowed by the equally uber cool Google Chrome, Picasa 3, brings features that truly wipe the floor [and walls] with many paid for offerings out there. A new, mega idiot proof red eye feature, video editing, syncing free web albums, face tagging, image previewer, the list goes on. It's a monster release, and all for $0.00.

Check the whats updated video, their great blog or click the title link and just download and have a blast with one of my all time essential favorites.

Photos - Mount Hotham Snowboarding

Finally managed to get a short weekend holiday, our first in Australia, and first in well over a year and a half, and where do we go? Only the coldest place there is here...

Mount Hotham is a pretty cool place, [no pun intended] about 4 hrs drive from the city with a full on resort, bars, shops, restaurants, hotels and plenty of interesting and varied slopes for skiers and boarders alike. An awesome time had by all, no thanks to two friends who made the whole weekend a blast for all. Cheers Dave & Gav!
