Next time your at your local newsagent, pick up a copy of the latest Australian Popular Science and turn to page 28 for my debut article on the history of Martian Rovers.
It’s probably the only science article that leaves open the possibility Transformers inhabit the Red Planet.

Space dollars well spent.
That’s right rest of the east coast!
My hilariously low budget TV game show “31 Questions” debuted in the Harbour City on Monday evening to much fanfare:
And for the next 13 weeks, Sydneysiders can catch the show Monday 9.30PM, Wednesday 11.30PM & Sunday 12.30AM on digital channel 44.
But if this doesn’t apply to you, there’s a slim chance this will… because approximately 930km north in The Sunshine State, 31 Questions is coming to Brisbane!
Horay!
Brisbane folk will be able to take advantage of the best time slot of any of the Australian community TV stations and watch us Sunday 9PM and Thursday 8.30PM on 31 Digital (channel 44).
The fun starts this Sunday, 7 October!
In the mean time, here’s another outtake highlighting some of our crazy technical difficulties:

Questions. Answers. Repeats.
I made my first appearance on ABC Radio National last week with a story on The Science Show. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about Carl Sagan and the Voyager missions, which I’ve been fascinated by for many years.
Voyager 1 and 2 were launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, carrying with them their famous Golden Records. They provided humanity with the first close up photos of the four gas giant planets and dozens of moons.
But perhaps the most famous photo was taken in 1990 when the camera was turned around and pointed back towards the Earth. From 6 billion kilometres away, our home planet is just a Pale Blue Dot:
This subject matter also inspired actor Lachlan Woods and the Optic Nerve Performance Group at Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre to create their recent production “Pale Blue Dot”.

Probably the first time I’ve put my radio skills towards something useful.
Ahoy!
After Melbourne Talk Radio shut down 6 months ago, I’ve been panelling weekends for Crocmedia, which broadcasts “AFL Live” around Australian regional radio stations and via the AFL 2012 iPhone app.
It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve had the good fortune to work with football broadcasting legends Sandy Roberts, Peter Donegan and Rex Hunt.
Here are some highlights of my work on the buttons:

Livin’ the panel op dream
Greetings!
I was all over the Internet last week, making my debut on two of Australia’s most read opinion blogs.
Earlier in the week I made a stand against Australian five cent coins on The Punch.
And on Wednesday, an event rarer than a total solar eclipse (and that took a while for me to work out, so I hope you appreciate that fun fact) inspired me to write a piece for The Drum on conscience votes in Australian federal politics.

The Internet. It’s the way of the… present.
