Heinz has reinvented the ketchup packet! Now you can dip OR squeeze, plus it holds three times more ketchup.
I am about five levels of excited about this and really hoping they bring this to Australia with tomato sauce.

Went on the radio this afternoon to do my geek to human thing helping to explain the mystifying Google Wave.
If only radio had pictures, then I could have shown this reenactment of the famous Samuel L. Jackson “Ezekiel 25:17″ scene from Pulp Fiction through the ambitious new communications, sharing and collaboration platform.
It’s easily the best demonstration of what is possible in Wave. Now, I hope my friends can hurry up and get invites so I can start making parody videos too.
Love seeing that an advertising creative duo recently let go from Campaign Palace Melbourne are willing to do a light hearted daily video blog that documents their ‘unemployed life’. Nice work Shane and Ben!

It’s been exciting seeing a Brisbane music technology start-up by Nick Crocker / Ben Johnston and Wotnews getting a colossal amount of attention on Tumblr, Twitter, TechCrunch, Mumbrella, Wired and news.com.au as well as hundreds of blogs.
We Are Hunted is a daily music chart that generates a list of the 99 most popular songs based on information gained by tracking online music services like BitTorrent, Last.fm, MySpace Music and discussion activity about the songs on social networks, forums, blogs, and Twitter.
This really is rad.
Finally, it is a chart for the music that people really talked about and listened to instead of the regular BS chart system that is based on sales in selective offline and online stores. Nice.
You can’t Twitter and be in a celebrity relationship. Or so it would seem after Jennifer Aniston has reportedly broken up with John Mayer because of his obsession with Twitter.
It’s always hard when a social media literate person is in a relationship with non social media literate person. We’ve all updated our Faceboook status about something we should have told our significant other first, offline. Awkward.
But now that social media is affecting celebrities it’s a real cause for concern. Hopefully though, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore will serve as an example on how the micro-blogging platform can be a healthy thing for celebrity relationships. Godspeed you Twittering lovers!

When you type http://nowwearestalking.com into your browser’s address bar you get re-directed to Telstra’s Google Latitude like service Whereis Everyone.
I really do like a little tongue in cheek geek humour from the big telco after the whole kerfuffle within Telstra last week over Fake Stephen Conroy. Nice work Telstra!
