Hug An Aussie Today
If it is January 26th in your neck of the woods then it is Australia Day.
On Australia day Australians love to drink beer, get outside and watch strange sporting events like thong (flip flop) surfing or ferry racing. Then they will drink some more beer, have a BBQ, watch the Poms get thrashed in the cricket and drink some more beer. Wrestle a kangaroo or two*. Then they will watch some fireworks, drink beer and fall asleep in the hot hot evening.
*for non-Australian readers, this may, or may not, be true

Hello Alison,
I’m working on the interview as I write this.
You sounded great. Me, meh, I sounded so/so. Luckily I can re-record my bits. (The echo with Skype was most annoying.)
I’m going to cut and shift pieces around so they will sound a bit better, with lead-ins to add interest and all that.
I’ll send you an MP3 for you to approve in a couple of days.
When I get an episode in, probably next Wednesday, I’ll send you a link to it so you can use it as well.
If you want to do another one, sort of a follow=up, I’d be delighted to do it again in a few months.

By the way, I loved the MRIs in your last blog entry.
I wish I knew somebody with a large format scanner.
I’ve got my own MRI scans that might be entertaining for the ghoulish inclined of our respective audiences to compare.

Thanks Charles it was a fun thing to do , and I enjoyed the chat. I couldn’t hear any echo from you, may be there is soemthing bad with my set up
It would be an honour to do a follow up.
I actually took the picture of my MRI up against my monitor which was set to a white background (hence having to stitch two pictures together top and bottom).
I used my Canon 350D (Love that camera, we use it for astrophotography) and then shrank it down in Photoshop and removed the personal information on it.

Do you have a still photograph that you would like to use on the interview podcast?
A screen cap off of the YouTube video is not usable.

Widgets can be had by clicking on one of the links in that thread and cutting and pasting the text into your side bar or a post. The plain webpage one should be fine, I think. Please tell me if it doesn’t work and I’ll go back and review what their site says.
Picture…hmmmm… I am not at all photogenic lol
The one I use mainly on the net is the blue hair one
