In times gone by, the public appreciated and supported arts, culture and music. Rocket Hub has just started a new online movement to do the same in the 21st century.
I need a new studio condensor mic. Ideally, I would have preferred to fund a world tour, but I realised that may have been a tad ambitious for my first fueling! Ha ha! People have downloaded over $10000 worth of my music in the form of mp3s in the past 5 years for free. Now I'm asking for just a little in return, and for your fueling of my project, you'll get some great rewards from me. Check out the Mic Me Baby! project here, and think about fuelling me a couple of bucks. All it will take is another 98 people adding $2 worth of fuel, and I'm there.
Oh, but there's a time limit. I have another 58 days to make it happen. If I don't reach my target, all your fuel is refunded. If I make my target, your reward from me will be sent your way. Check out the rewards per fueling on the link above too. The more you fuel, the better the reward.

An Aussie Apple A Day
We don't manufacture much in Australia anymore. Many of our well known brands are now owned by overseas companies or are made in China.What we still have is an abundance of fresh, local produce. I think, the best in the world. Yet, why is it that we have opened the doors to apples grown in China?
Australians, if you value our lifestyle, quality of fresh produce and the hard working people on the land, please buy Australian fresh produce. It's the best quality, it's seasonal, and you're supporting Australia and Australians prosperity. By supporting imported fruit from China, you're supporting inferior product and the continuation of cheap third world labour.
If you have never done so, I'd suggest visiting an orchard in Tasmania or Stanthorpe, Qld where you can see the fruit growing on the trees and you can see and talk to the people who grow our fruit.
