Powers Cosmic: Episode 04
I certainly have some blogging to catch up on! Earlier this month Elroy released Powers Cosmic Episode 4 (appropriately, I’m wearing the very limited-edition blue Powers Cosmic tshirt). I’m pretty sure the whole thing is based on actual events. Since the zombie uprising is on everyone’s lips these days, do yourself a favour and check [...]
Eyes Flutter Beneath – Inside The Dream Laboratory
I’ve been meaning to mention a top quality ambient release from the artist formerly known as Audio Gourmet. If you like organic ambient then you need to get this disk. Since it’s free for download you don’t have an excuse! Harry Towell sets the bar high with the first track Six Years Dreaming and takes [...]
Birthday 24
So today I celebrate my 24th birthday. Who knows what will happen! Overall I’m pretty happy with where I am after all this time. Bring on year 24!

It naturally follows on from the “Koala sitting in tub of water” pictures doing the rounds on the internet. Awwww! Koala drinks from [...]
Rafe on Radio Proglas
This could be Rafe’s first mention on BuzzMoo.com! Well, we go way back. And now he’s on the other side of the world doing a live set for Czech radio very early in the morning for some reason. If you like cheeky folk (potentially a new sub-genre I’m coining just for him) or comedy and [...]
Melbourne Joomla Day 09
Yesterday I flew down to Melbourne (managing to make my day trip for the city’s hottest day, ever!) for Joomla Day ’09, hosted by the Melbourne Joomla User’s Group, at Melbourne University. The day was well balanced and very valuable. The audience of around sixty comprised of people who had never used Joomla before, to [...]
RIP Charles Wesley Cooper III
I’ve been anticipating Telefon Tel Aviv’s new album for quite some time now. This evening, devestating news reached me of the death of Charlie Cooper, one half of the group.

Pia has just posted a detailed list of suggestions if you were ever interested in getting your hands on an OLPC XO laptop in Australia and New Zealand.
