MapMyRide.com provides easy-to-use, comprehensive web-based cycling tools to measure distance and count calories.</blockquote> In the last few months I’ve stirred up my ambition for cycling again. I would clasify myself as a Professional Cyclist. A few reasons for this -- other than the obvious colour coded uniform I do infact put up a fight in sprints against other cyclists. I go cycling most afternoons and complete about 38 km. In recent months statistics have shown that cycling is becoming more and more common. Whether this is due to the amount of cars on the road or people just taking the initiative with Carbon Emissions. There has been such an increase in cycling that I would say about 2% of Townsville’s population cycles regularly. There is one thing that really irates me. Yes, you guessed it. Drivers not giving way when the bike has right of way. Bastards! If you have an ambition for professional cycling. I recommend going for it and training hard. I took the step and upgraded from my commuter mountain bike to a nice Avanti Road bike. (Below is a video of it) The iphone by MapMyRide allows for easy integration with the services offered by mapMyRide. It has the ability to show you the route while cycling through using your iphone’s 3G connection. Software also work on iPod touch -- minus the real-time directions. <blockquote>Using MapMyRide.com iPhone app, I was able to utilize the GPS chip and track my bike ride on April 19, I was able to log the distance and the exact path I took coming home. It’s free and pretty neat. The only downside is it used up a ton of battery. So not recommended if it’s your emergency phone. I’ll try and post my other rides when I get around to it.

For instance, did you know that Australia didn’t have it’s offical Australian Anthem until 1977. Even then the Australian Anthem was, “God Save the Queen.” It wasn’t until well into the 80s that Australia was able to come up with our own. One story is how racing driver who won the Grandpri got out of his car after winning the race to sing the Australian anthem. It was at this time that he realised that the Austrian Anthem was different to the Australian Anthem. How much of an Australian Lamb Ambassador are you ? Do you support the things that Australia Day stands for? Australia day has been viewed by many as being quite controversial. Some believe it was Australia’s is the first country to actually be successful after a military Coop. Others just see Australia day has a day to get drunk and walk around stageed. Even Sam Kekovich knows this is true. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CtfMTPWYxBo&rel=1&color1=d6d6d6&color2=f0f0f0&border=&fs=1&hl=en&autoplay=&showinfo=0&iv_load_policy=3&showsearch=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CtfMTPWYxBo&rel=1&color1=d6d6d6&color2=f0f0f0&border=&fs=1&hl=en&autoplay=&showinfo=0&iv_load_policy=3&showsearch=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355" ></embed><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object> Need any photos taken in Townsville ?

We reflect on their past mistreatment. We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were stolen generations -- this blemished chapter in our nation’s history. The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future. We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians. We apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, their communities and their country. For the pain, suffering and hurt of these stolen generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry. To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, for the breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry. And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry.

So far We’ve had Prime minister Kevin Rudd release a children’s book, Jasper and Abby and the Great Australia Day Kerfuffle and even had our very own Australia Day come under the flack from Social Comment Website <a title="The Punch" href="http://www.thepunch.com.au" target="_blank">The Punch</a>. Prince William has also been in Sydney, Australia touring around on an unofficial visit. He is taking in the Aussie Sun. Kevin Rudd’s book was written for a launch at the Royal Children’s Hospital. Although, Kevin Rudd is the first prime minister of Australia to release a Children’s Book it’s been done before by the American President George Bush. George’s Bushes Book became a best seller perhaps Kevin Rudd can become a great Aussie writer as well.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-291" title="Prince William in Australia" src="http://podcasting.tsvcomputerman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/PrinceWilliam.jpg" alt="Prince William in Australia" width="313" height="225" /> The Australian Seven PM Project has found that many Australian’s still are interested in the British Monarchy.. Just not into British Royals other than Prince Harry. A poll has by British media company ITN and Australia’s Seven Network found that 58 percent of about 1,200 Australians surveyed last weekend said William should be the next monarch after Queen Elizabeth while 30 backed Charles. Doesn’t it just seem that every site we thought we were safe on 2 years ago seems to have huge security issues. Such as that of Google and Twitter. Site’s that serve 1000’s of users every day are being hacked. What can we do ? Well, don’t use internet Explorer that’s for sure. France is even thinking of Banning Internet Explorer due to its huge Security Flaws. Not only Google can be hacked but even a Jewish news paper has had its security exploited. “BBQ like you’ve never done before!” That is what Australian’s should be doing on Australia Day 2010.

He held two bags, one in each hand. As the tanks came to a stop, he appeared to be trying to wave them away. In response, the front tank attempted to drive around the man, but the man repeatedly stepped into the path of the tank in a show of nonviolent action.After blocking the tanks, the man climbed up onto the top of the lead tank and had a conversation with the driver. Reports of what he said to the driver vary, including “Why are you here?

Twitter has been able to progress and make a fair turn over ownly allowing 140 Character statuses.

It is faster and has a built in plugin that blocks Pop Ups if your Virus Software doesn’t have this functionality it is a great idea. Firefox can have extensions added to it which are now being called add-Ons. These add-Ons are programmed by developers. They often have useful functions such as copying text or assisting in research.
