Funniest News Reader Ever

Paul Henry has got to be one of the funniest news readers I have ever seen. This guy not only manages to break out laughing in the most inappropriate of times but also manages to keep a large viewership in people who love what they see! I have to admit, this guy did keep me entertained, and I probably would watch this news show each morning if it was on in Australia!




Another one here!


Have fun!

Coolest song I have heard in a while - Grum- Heartbeat


This is probably the catchiest song I have heard in a long time! I still can't work out whether the chorus is saying "so ha-ppy" or "your heartbeat" but either way this song is amazing. Kind of reminds of daftpunk back in the day! Especially the guitar in the last minute.

IBM 2010 CFO Study

Ok I know I am a sell out. But here is the new IBM CFO study that was released today. It highlights the gaps in the financial reporting system and the challenges faced by CFO's. The most disturbing statistic i read was 40% of those examined still did financial reporting manually!!!

You can get a copy of the study from IBM here

Mix-Up of the top songs of 2009


Ok, so this mix probably would have been a good thing to have played on NYE, but unfortunately I have missed the boat on that one. However, you can still appreciate all the songs featured on this 7 minute track. I really dig the production of this.

Asalto - Afterglows Of 2009
