I flew down to ABC headquarters at Ultimo yesterday for a meeting about ABC Online's plans for opinion and analysis.

Can't say much about that at this stage, but it's going to be a very busy couple of months.

Also had an impromptu meeting about social media, and that was very exciting also.

And, of course, I got to meet Big Ted. Or Massive Ted.

(Thanks Ping!)

Movie Minutiae: WALL-E (2008)

Saw this movie last weekend and I can't stop thinking about the little guy!

I liked the movie, especially the first act. Yeah, it got a little cheesy towards the end, but I can live with that.

But WALL-E himself -- he's just so endearing.

David Rollins talks about KAL007 in The Zero Option

I interviewed Australian author David Rollins last week about his latest book, The Zero Option, which offers a new theory on the 1983 shootdown of Korean Airlines flight 007.

You can read the feature here. (And there's a really interesting wikipedia article here)

I particularly like this quote:

After I wrote The Zero Option I sent it to a number of people around the world, just to give me notes, and one of them was a producer in Hollywood. After he read the book he said 'keep your eye on the rear-vision mirror for a while'. And it's something that a few people have said to me.

It's a good read, by the way, and I'm envious of Rollins getting to all those far-flung corners of the globe!

I'm going to post some extra bits and pieces from the interview on Articulate, probably tomorrow.
