Go Aussies go!<\/p>\n<h5>Cycling<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;text-align: justify\">I found this company in the north of Sydney who make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pedalpower.com.au\/\">power supplies for bicycles.<\/a> I will get one when they bring out the iPhone 3GS compatible version. They said they are manufacturing a batch at the moment. I plan to get a bottle dynamo to start with, but to eventually get combined Sturmey Archer hub break\/dymo units.<\/p>\n<h5>Environment<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The USA congress are looking into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/blog\/energy\/24365\/?nlid=2496\">Geoengineering for climate change<\/a>. <em>Bart Gordon (D-TN), said was, &#8220;the first time that a congressional committee has undertaken a serious review of proposals for climate engineering.&#8221;<\/em> You would not want to get it wrong now. It sounds like a case of a simple theory with potentially massive consequences.<\/p>\n<h5>Geology<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn18114-giant-crack-in-africa-formed-in-just-days.html\">A new rift valley is opening up in Africa<\/a>. At the moment you can just jump across it. Eventually it will become a sea. When it joins back up to the oceans, it will be quite an event.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify\">Internet<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;text-align: justify\">Apparently, given all the bluster coming out of Murdoch about the evil google who scan his news limited news sites, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telecomasia.net\/content\/murdoch-vows-block-news-sites-google-search\">Murdoch can remove his sites from the google search engine himself<\/a>. I would guess it is something link including the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robots_exclusion_standard\">robots.txt file <\/a>in you base URL. So Murdoch, put your money where your mouth is and remove yourself from google. It is not their fault<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arnnet.com.au\/article\/325874\/soul_tpg_buys_pipe_networks_373m?eid=-100\">Soul\/TPG are buying pipe networks for $373 million<\/a>.

But it turns out from the engineering report to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/threatlevel\/2009\/11\/brazil_blackout\/\">be a case of sooty insulators<\/a>. How expectable and disappointing.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify\">Telecommunications<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.telecomasia.net\/content\/end-phone-book-hong-kong\">PCCW in HK is to stop printing the white pages<\/a>.
