Impro A Go-Go
The 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival is winding down, and for me at least it has been a festival to remember.
Having recently joined the ranks of Impro Melbourne's talented ensemble, this was the first Festival where I took to the stage! Joining on opening night the cast of Impro Melbourne's production of Smells Like a Song was a privilege … not to mention a blast!

In-Car Navigation with a TomTom GO 710 in Australia
In my last post, I introduced the TomTom GO 710 GPS receiver (GPSr). I recently bought this device for car navigation but have since found it to be a surprisingly versatile gadget! With the right collection of tweaks and add-ons, it can become a great device for geocaching, and a lot more besides.
In this post, I'll describe the TomTom GO 710's on-road navigation features, and offer some useful tips on how to make them better!

Navigation, Geocaching and More with a TomTom GO 710
If you’ve been watching my Flickr photos lately, you’ll have noticed that Jess and I are getting into geocaching, the world-wide treasure hunt where participants follow GPS coordinates to the locations of hidden caches of goodies.
The one essential tool for geocaching is a GPS receiver (GPSr), which gave me the perfect excuse to add this long-coveted piece of technology to my car. But finding a unit that would make a good on-road navigator (with good maps, nice screen, useful routing features, and an extensive Points of Interest (POI) database) as well as a good tool for geocaching (offering accurate coordinates and useful off-road navigation features) would prove to be a challenge.
