More sort of small helicopters. Or this one from Rotary Air Force
For the flying car traditionalists there’s the Moller Skycar. Or for those not afraid to strap a turbine to their back, the Monocopter. Although I’d recommend hearing protection for that one. Or pretty much any of them really.
So, according to Technorati, my blogs have
Has anyone noticed the TV ads that indicate that McDonalds is sponsoring Little Athletics? I also notice on their web site that that Coca-cola Amatil are sponsoring their Jump Start program for athletics in schools.
Just spent a few minutes geotagging some of my flickr photos.
It’s pretty cool, you can group photos and place them, or drag a photo on top of another photo already placed on the map to group them in the same place.
Even cooler is that when viewing photos you can click on a photo’s map button and then click “Search for other photos near this one” to see photos taken nearby.
Don’t expect to be able to use any high-res satellite photos of Hobart or Perth to work out where your images were taken though, the highest resolution is about 3 notches above the maximum.

Some of the show deals with trading carbon credits both internationally and inside New South Wales (people like EasyBeingGreen make money by trading packs containing energy efficient lightbulbs etc. to consumers in exchange for carbon credits which they can then trade.
The companies mentioned on the Business Roundtable on Climate Change are Westpac, Visy Corporation,, BP (whom I believe are the largest supplier of solar cells in Australia), and the Insurance Australia Group
Interestingly some people (ie Peter Beattie) believe that introducing a carbon tax will cause everyone to start investing in gas, which will mean that money won’t be spent on clean coal research (which as far as I can tell, involves hiding the waste CO2 emissions underground via geosequestration). Personally I think that coal workers (like the timber industry workers clearing old growth forest) have to consider that they’re going the way of buggy whip makers, and the folks who sold ice for your icebox. The writing’s on the wall. The time to work out your new business model is while you still have a job. Not that I’m saying it’s easy.
