Oh now this oughta be interesting!
It didn’t.
Telstra today announced their pricing. iPhone (I assume 8GB) AU$279 and AU$30/mo contract (assume 24 months). That’s less than half what I thought it would be, and puts it right in the non-smartphone pricing category. Optus and Vodaphone will have no option but to match. It’s going to be a blitz.
As for me, well I’ve been accused of being a rampant consumer (gadget junkie) but I like to think I can temper this with some practicality for now... no really... I’m pretty sure I can...
First pub with RW 4!
Very shiny, excellent use of several Leopard features, e.g. the publish progress dialog has all that gooey coverflow eye candy, and incremental updates seem to be a bit smarter too.

TBWA\Chiat\Day need to talk with the guy who did this:
I won’t tell you how accurate this one is but it gets bonus points for demonstrating Master Chief’s bulletproof codpiece.

still not ironing it...
Story behind this is I was once lucky enough to work
with a couple of excellent guys, Mike Seyfang and Nick Hodge. We were Random Access
Consulting, a.k.a. the Munge Brothers. Nick’s got
some good history on it here. Mike had a grafitti artist
paint three of these as a surprise on the
afternoon of an Apple SA Christmas bash. I think
they were still not quite dry when we wore them.
‘twas a whole different river back then - and I was a
whole different person - but nice to look back on
those times once in a while. Uncle Mike, Uncle Nick,
if you ever stumble upon this page in your travels,
sorry, but I did put ‘Caution, Stumble Hazzard’ signs
up... A tip o’ the hat to you and yours, hope you’re
doing well.
And may your trousers always stand at attention.
