Welcome to Readers of The Age
Welcome today to readers of The Age (a Melbourne newspaper) which today has the same article that SMH had a couple of days back on Online Ventures being bought up (update: it only seems to be in the Age’s online version - not their hardcopy).
If you’re here from the article you might like to read this welcome I wrote to Sydney Morning Herald readers on Saturday which will introduce you to my blog.
The article is the same but the pictures are different (same shoot… gee I’m glad my fly was done up on this one). This one makes me look a little stressed (I didn’t have a head ache). The one on the front page of The Age’s website (below) makes me laugh a little - the whole photo shoot reminded me of my wedding day - lots of staring off into the distance and placing of hands in unnatural positions :-)
Thanks to my various Melbourne friends for letting me know the article was in the paper today - I hadn’t known it would be.

I think next time b5media gets into the press we’ll send the photographers over to Shai’s place.

That top photo has got to be ripe for a caption contest!

Saw the story on my routine check of The Age this morning - well done mate.

Pity it didn’t go out in the hard copy version but good publicity nonetheless.
