The Australian Government is trying to push forward with plans to install a mandatory internet filter at ISP level for all Australian internet users. Though I have no doubt their intentions are good, the proposed model is a ridiculous overstep…

Conquistador of the Useless

Last night on Enough Rope, Andrew Denton interviewed Philippe Petit, a charming 60-year-old French tight-rope walker who [illegally] strung a wire between the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York in 1974 and walked ["danced"] across it.
