I’m in an 80s time warp
I’m in Sydney for OZCHI (where, BTW, I’m doing my first keynote) and sitting in the hotel bar – I had a day off and it is better than being bored in my room.
The bar is playing 80s music. Here’s what’s been on:
- Stimulation – Wa Wa Nee
- One night in Bangkok – Murray Head
- Goose Bumps – Christie Allen
- What about me – Moving Pictures
- Wood beez – Scritti Polliti
- It’s raining men – The Weather Girls
- It’s alright (baby’s coming back) – Eurythmics
- We can get together – Icehouse
- All I want is you – Bryan Adams
I don’t know what’s worse – that I know all of these, that wikipedia has entries for them all or that I really should be doing something other than looking them up.
(And I’m only able to write this because I have a new iBurst card – one of the best gadgets I’ve ever bought. Their slogan is right – it just works)

“It’s alright (baby’s coming back) – Eurythmics” – An absolute classic!

Do you get iBurst coverage out at Murrumbateman, or are you just using it for travelling? If you take a look at the Canberra map, everything south of Woden is a wasteland…

No, just for travelling, or when I need to do some private stuff in town or at work. But it is worth it for travelling to capital cities – no more paying for hotel internet.
