Probably the best Downfall parody video I've seen. Well scripted and even has the words matching up in places!

People want Tech Talkback!

Here's some excerpts from emails I've received since Friday 6 August. That's 19 emails in 3 days.
The people have spoken!
It seems they want someone who can solve technology problems on the radio as well as also doing something on TV.
Now of course, Ryan is doing a sterling job in my place on @6PR – but everyone has a different way of approaching problem solving. I'm pretty sure there's room for two.
Let's see if we can get @720perth interested!
What do you think? Add your comments below.
I must admit I miss your tech segments on 6PR. There are not many radio segments I try to take in as a matter of course, but yours was/is definitely one. The 6PR talkback aspect was good coz it gave air to a wide range of problems, which I found good to learn from.
Whilst I am an Apple man, the rest of my family are Windows based, and I am the one who has to sort their problems for them. Coz of you, we are Trend based now….
Would definitely prefer a radio slot by you as it would be more practicable for me as compared to TV. Thus assuming 6PR is finished for you now, I would think approaching the ABC for talkback would be the way to go, but not sure how commercial reality would affect your ability to recommend brands and stuff.
Rob McDonald
I support the idea of you conducting a full half hour and I mean a FULL HALF HOUR of both tech talk and talkback to people with problems or confusion about the operation of their pc's.
It would be a great deal better to have this segment on the radio during the working week and during working hours, the less than 15 minutes that James Lush gives you on a Sat morning is hardly worth it.
I am prepared to email this to the ABC and to West TV.
John Bryant
I would LOVE to see you back on radio and hope the ABC could see the value of this to their station and ratings, I use to look forward to your talkback shows and would gladly tune in to ABC radio for your show,,I do not normally tune into ABC radio but would do so if you where on it.
Cathy Warger
i think u should go for the phone in idea on west tv
Scott & Amanda
Love to see a talk back on West TV, but would email 720 if needed.
Glennys Fragomeni
I would like to see a tech help session in any media. My own interest is in Linux variants and discussion on these would be especially welcomed by me.
Brian Steele
I really miss you on 6pr. Looking forward to having you on somthing on tv.
Brian Mitchell
I am still in shock that you left 6pr. You said that at the ABC, they would give you more freedom for exploring your radio image.
This, to me hasn't happened. I loved hearing your advice and your no-nonsense approach to tech issues.
I want you back in a regular spot, 6pr or ABC. Doesn't matter.
T.V. ?? On the weekend yes but during the week, were all at work and don't watch the box.
You have my full support for a twice weekly show during the week and a spot on the weekend.
The world is moving forward and to keep up, we have to know what there is to know and you always gave us that up to date advice.
We need you back. At all cost's. How about a live web-cam every weekend where we can log in and enjoy.
Gerrit Braun
In my opinion the best way to answer question and demonstrate visually on how to go about solving computer problems is via the TV programme.
John Delborrello
I would definately watch a TV show on computers, how to advice, new technology, problem solving and related issues .
There is nothing like it on TV and the format would be perfect for everyone who uses a computer or is interested in technology.
You could have an advice section via viewer emails, guest experts and a new product slot.
The only show like it would be 'Cybershack' but channel nine seems to put that show on and off air at their whim if it is still on the air at all.
J Fulton
I would like a TV Talkback Segment.
Cilla W.
My 2 cents. Definately include mobile technology in a tech talk segment. I'm not just talking Blackberry but rather all mobile internet, social networking and email.
Greg Myers
I’d prefer to hear you back on 6pr (and I’ve let them know too!)
I really miss your segments, very informative and interesting and I’ve learnt a lot listening to you!
Rhonda Gittos
A Tech Help segment should return to radio.
Robert Barham
I for one, would like a tech support show on the ABC, or where ever, I'm a bit of a Techie, and miss listening to you on air, I have picked up a few skills from these shows.
I do think a show on channel 44 would work, just a matter of getting people to rescan there TVs, so they at least have the channel, then get the word out that the show exists, the potential for such a show would be huge (well I believe so), hope it all works out, if I can help,I sure will……..
Rod Moss
I think it's a great idea having a Tech Help segment. Even better to have it on TV so that when you are talking about something tangible like external drives, mother boards or ram and loads of other bits, you will be able to show us oldies what the hell it looks like so we know what it is. I think you tend to remember better too if you see the face that is talking about things of interest.
Ray Wilson
After 10 weeks away in Europe do I not only find there's been a change in Prime Minister, but there's also no PC Guru on 6PR!!!!!!
Bring back PC Guru for the masses, or have it introduced to ABC 720, there is a need for your invaluable advice and assistance!!!!!!!!!
Giovanni Virgo
I REALLY wish you could get back onto 6pr with your guru segment as I listen to that station every day – such a shame that you had to quit.
Ronnie Harper
I SO miss you on 6PR. I haven’t rescanned my channels yet to get Channel 44, but will do so soon.
Val Sheppard
I'm really interested in your comments.
Do you want Tech Talkback on the ABC? Do you want to see tech talkback like I did on @6PR but live on West TV each week?

Thought Leaders Testimonial – Jason Clarke is fantastic.

I went along to a Thought Leaders WA presentation by Jason Clarke – and it was fantastic. Jason is widely regarded as one of Australia's best speakers – and I can see why. It was thought-provoking, fun and made me challenge quite a few long held assumptions.
If you're in Perth and you can make the next one, I highly recommend it.
Enjoy this testimonial produced by those devilishly handsome blokes at LushTV.
Will it blend? Vuvuzela!
