And this loser was the best our artists could come up with to model my perfect idea.

I switched to Feedly yesterday.

Like: Looks nice, integrates with my existing Reader feeds (and they've said it will "just work" after Reader shuts down), works on both desktop and Android, you can mark feeds as "must read" (e.g. more important than the others).

Dislike: Have to install browser plugin (e.g. you can't just use any browser), difficult to add new feeds by URL (least I couldn't get it to work, their server was overloaded yesterday).

After that game last night I take all the bad things I said about the Eels back. They look good. Some of the pick ups like Lussick are going to be pretty handy.
The Dogs aren't what they were last year without Barba, but they're still a good team and the Eels were with them all game.

I still had to stay off the internet all afternoon because of stupid Channel 9 delay. Pricks

With that QUT thing, any one know where it came from? Let me know and I'll flick it on to someone at Brisbane Times. Dodgy pricks

Edit: So News Ltd's columnist website The Punch is getting combined into the larger network. Hello more opinion pieces and less news stories. Foxification of the internet

I was far too critical of them in my earlier post, mostly after seeing a few silly things as the game wound down in the final minutes. After getting over the emotion of the game, it's much easier to see everything more clearly for what it really was.

Seeing how tired the forwards were with about 10 minutes to go, I was so pleased and proud to see them keep driving hard and not giving up. They were strong in and around the ruck all night, it was goddamn impressive. I agree with you on Lussick, his aggression adds so much, I love watching it.

I didn't realise until after the game that not a single point was scored in the second half. Not one. It was a thrilling arm wrestle. It wasn't the usual battle that we see between the Eels and the Dogs either, but it was a good game of football.

I noticed there wasn't a Spidercam whizzing around, so at least you were spared the disorienting views of that. Fuck Channel 9.

At half time I described the game as a basketball game because there was no defence from either team. It was just back and forth scoring. Then the second half was the opposite. I really enjoyed it in the end.

How much better does Sandow look than last year?

Still not sure if they will make they 8, but maybe 10ish? In that bubble area.

It was totally like that. In the opening minutes where the Dogs cut us apart at the edges, I was just thinking "FUCK!" Glad it wasn't a score-a-thon in the end, I loved that seemingly never-ending battle the second half provided.

Did someone on the commentary team say "it's a game of two halves"?

Sandow is like a completely different person this year, goddamn he is impressing me. And his kicking game. Holy shit!

I'm with you on where they'll likely finish, given current form. Good on them if they make the 8, but I'm not expecting it. They'll certainly raise themselves well off the bottom of the table if they keep playing like that. I watched the Dogs' media conference and agree with Des' comments on them.

Why would you call me and say I can pickup my wife from surgery recovery and then leave me in a waiting room for an hour only to tell me she isn't ready.

That is just straight up incorrect information you gave me on the phone. Do you have a split personality admin lady?

There's a difference between business and politics though. They're making a group of students assist a member of a publicly funded party get elected. For free. It's an assignment, they don't have a choice in doing it. Even though Rudd will clearly be reelected.

If they were paid or could opt out that'd be better. Or if it was done hypothetically and didn't involve the actual candidate

Seems like I'm interning for a company called Crown Content in June, who publish weird media reports and trade magazines for journos?

I am actually insanely jealous. Even if the buildings are kind of crappy compared to the other photo, it still looks really cool. Living up high, in the middle of the city! I bet all the lights look lovely at night. Take a night picture tooo.

Indeed. Poor Kritz. Maybe when you graduate you can expand on the idea. I would buy it... if I had an ipad.

Just imagine the outrage from The Australian if it was a Labor or Green candiate.

Yup. There would be all sorts of noise.

Sport news regarding Josh Dugan, which I wouldn't be the least bit surprised is true. Spotted by someone on another forum.

Dugan's blatant disregard for his teammates and coaches has left his reputation throughout the NRL in tatters.

He was known to have spruiked to teammates about his status in the game, declaring he had no fear of being sacked because he would simply sign on at a "better club".

Source.

I would laugh so hard if no one else signed him.
