I LOVE Melbourne
Being such a beautiful weekend and day today, it has filled me with love for this city once again, and I thought I would share why.
So here are 5 Reasons. why I LOVE Melbourne.
1# Coffee.
Melbourne has the best coffee. Hands down! Lygon st, Bridge Rd, Swan St to Keilor Rd. Its alllll good. My Fav is at Cheeky Monkey, Swan st Richmond. A cup of hot joe from this place just makes me feel good.
2# Beaches.
The Beaches around Melbourne are awesome. St Kilda, Porsea, Dromana. On a beatuiful day, nothing can be beat. Here is a photo taken at Dromana yesteray.
#3 Food.
Melbourne has some great places to eat. A few will try their best to rip you off. These places generally are around the Crown Casino/ Southbank area from my experence. But head to Lygon St, Swan st, Johnston st (Jims Tavern) and you'll get a awesome meal at a reasonable price
#4 Nightclubs / Bars
Melbourne has some awesome nightclubs. Sorry Grandma, 161, Deluxe, Calton Club, Cookie the list goes on for weeks. There seems that for ever person in Melbourne, there are 5 bars / clubs that want you to drink at them. So we seem a bit spoilt for choice. Love that.
#People
The people around town are awesome. Laid back, friendly, polite. There are of corse some that are not, but I find that people around Melbourne are nice pleasant people and will generally help you out.
So there you have it.

5 Reasons why i HATE iphones, and Apple.
OK so I HATE iphones. I hate them with a passion. I hate them so much I threw my Iphone4 out the window of my car after being frustrated with it. But here is my list of why I hate them sooooooo much.
1 - Why MUST I have Quicktime installed to run Itunes? Thats retarded. Apple clearly wants to push their crappy format onto us even though we dont want it. Absolute BS! No one uses .mov files, nor do they want to. And forcing everyone to have QuickTime on their computers before Itunes will run is in my eyes MALWARE. Quicktime is MALWARE Apple is forcing you to have. And not only that,
2- Quicktime, uses a lot of system resources to run. A LOT. And becuase Itunes needs to be updated, Itunes will FORCE you to update Qucktime also. thats BS.
3- Iphone 4, the problems are so vast, I'll never buy another Apple product again. I threw mine out the window of my moving car after dropping another call. I was so frustrated with the device, I hurled it. Was a great moment.
4- Updating the phone means you MUST update Itunes and Quicktime. Why??????? I know why, Apple want you to have their latest version of Itunes which has been optimised for you to buy more crap of them. They force you to have it, so they can make MORE money off you.
5- NON- Customisable. ZIP, ZERO, NUDDA. You can customise anything. I remember changing layout on my Nokia I had in 1995. Why is this "Breakthrough" device unable to be customised? Its soooo sily. Apple want you to walk, talk, and use the phone device in all the same way.
If your like me, and cant stand how this company tries to force your hand all the time, do what I did. Turn away from Apple, and get another device.
Me personally, I got an Android phone, and have never looked back. I love it. I can do what I want with it, no BS software I have to install and use, and it just works. AS all phones should be.

Top Ten Torrents
So reciently I have come accross a new website, and I love it.
Its called Top Ten Torrents. And the Idea behind it is that, the site looks around the internet and finds the latest torrents and finds out how many seeders are seeding that torrent. Collecting all this information, and creating a Top ten list.
Generally, torrents with high seed rates, have awesome download speed. So being the best torrents on the internet, you can expect the torrents from this site will download fast for you.
I have been reading the blog posts on the page as well and I see some really interesting stuff is going on with the site also.
Its so simple and easy to use. I Love Top Ten Torrents!
Big Day out Melbourne sells out
A lot of reports are coming in from all music fans today that the 1st release of tickets for this years festival have sold out.
The huge line up this year , including Tool and other huge American metal bands have seen tickets sell out in record time.
I personally was contemplating going, but it seems that if your not 100% dedicated on going , and doing what ever it takes to get a ticket, you will most likely miss out.
I hope the scalpers do not see this as an opportunity to capitalise on such a popular event, even though we all know there will be some tickets popping up on Ebay, for some exorbitant amount. Its a shame really.
Lets all hope that the 2nd round of ticket sales see's more fans to get a change to get their hands on a ticket to the up and coming Big Day Out festival.
If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, who were are you looking forward to seeing?

Myki problems
So so so,
This "smart" ticketing system has been rolled out for a little while now.
I personally have not had any experience with it, apart from addressing some of its issues on this blog.
As a Melbournian I use public transport a lot, but I have not felt the need to adopt it yet.
I thought I would put the question out there to anyone reading to comment on their experience with Myki, and let us know how the experience is/was.
Feedback would be much appreciated and you can help out your fellow Melbournian.

Crown casino melboure
Crown casino Melbourne, the place to have a drink, see some fire shoot out of some poles, and most of all - loose all your cash.
Yes that place we all end up after a few drinks and always before the rent is due. If I write a good review, I will take donations from mr Packer. Let's just call a gamble that has poor odds.

Melbourne trains. Fail
Where to begin. The train network in Melbourne is a shocker. It is. Today thousand of travelers were delayed yet again by an 'equipment failure' at one of Melbourne's largest stations- Southern cross or as I know it, Spencer st station. This caused most train lines in the city to stop service. Huge delays were expected and I can picture in my head every suburban train station packed with annoyed travelers, calling their boss to let them know they would be late, again.
Facebook was flooded with users complaining about how bad the delays were, how annoyed they are, and how comfortable their beds were this morning.
Let's not get into Myki, and how the cash could of improved the train system. Let's just say that the $350 million wasted could of done some good.
There needs to be something done to fix this train network. The government should pull their heads in and start solving problems. Isn't that their jobs?
If your waiting for a train, I feel for you guys.

Things to do in melbourne
Today I was think about where would I take a guest of melbourne to really experience it all. A rush of ideas came to me as u thought of the place I love to go as a local, who has grown up in this great town.
For dinner, nothing beats Lygon st. nothing. The food, and atmosphere, service, and finally the prices are reasonable.
For breakfast/ lunch, nothing beats swan st in Richmond. With my personal pick - Cheeky Monkey cafe. Across from the Richmond club hotel.
Cheeky monkey has the best coffee in Melbourne, hands down and the best meals I've tasted. A regular there, I'm amazed that each dish is as good as the next.
For drinks, Melbourne really comes into it's own here. There are just so many cool bars and clubs to choose it's too hard to list here. Swan st, have a few, chapel st have some cool ones, and Fitzroy st. There are more, a lot more.
To wrap it up I say get out there and experience it all. The hospitality industry in Melbourne is 2nd to none. Try it. -exclusively Melbourne
Search engine optimisation melbourne
Search engine optimisation seems to be the flavour of the month. Why? There seems to be only a few specialized people who can do it right. Content, links, and web structure are all great tools in a seo's toolkit however it seems that it is the proper management of all these elements that get the best results.
Exclusive Seo have recently gained a lot of ground in the search engine optimisation industry and seem like only a drop in the ocean in what these experts have up their sleeves.
Melbourne business is as competitive as anywhere else in the world, and this extends to the Google front.
If you need search engine optimisation in Melbourne as your marketing choice, You know who to speak to.
The hangover
The hangover, in not talking out the movie here. That standard Sunday curse that seems to affect everyone in Melbourne between the ages of 18 to 38.
And with the hangover there is the realization of the pending work week ahead, which seems to make said hangover worse.
