The podcast I help out with, Boxcutters, has been asked to record an episode at the SXSW Interactive festival in Austin, Texas. I can't wait but....we need your help. We need to raise enough money for airfares to Austin from Melbourne. We can take care of the rest. Help us here. Boxcutters is a weekly podcast all about television. For the past six years the Boxcutters team has

Recently had an email conversation with some good mates about the pros and cons of a having a Facebook page to promote your freelance work. After a few fruity language edits, I think the conversation's worth publishing. Chaz is a Melbourne based PR writer.  Chaz:  I know it's a bit shit, but a couple of people have told me to start an FB Page for myself, and just post regular content, to

Found this in my old document files. Can't remember if I published it back then... Nice to see Channel Ten cut down the Australian Idol Final to a measly four hours.  Most years the final's gone for six to seven hours so last night's bunch of sponsor generated filler seemed to fly.  Though I did shudder every time one of the hosts threatened to have another look at the the final two

Intelligent debate is dead. If you read comments on any of the newspaper websites, you already knew that. First, let me introduce you to my favorite comedian in years, Stewart Lee. Today I had a similar conversation about generalisations to Lee's on twitter with, not a taxi driver, but a Geelong based real estate agent. It started with an admittedly facetious tweet by me... nightwatchman

This is the an email I sent to my council mayor, Robert Doyle last Friday. No reply yet. Dear Lord Mayor, Seeing that you can get rid of protesters from the city, please could you get rid of the protesters outside the Wellington Street fertility clinic. You denied a link between the two protesters on 774 this morning but to somebody who lives in the area and votes for council elections, the

This was left by my great mate, Jack Thompson as a comment on my previous post. As Molly would say, 'do yourself a favor' and read it through to the end. Beautiful stuff. The year was 1991, and I had turned 18 in the April. I was getting excited about going to a Kylie concert in the May.....but I wasn't gay. Shocked was my fave from the album Rhythm of Love, especially once I had learnt

Apparently, in advertising or film, if you want to get straight at someone's heart, you just play songs that your audience was listening to when they turned 18. Radio stations are all over this. That's why oldies radio has slowly followed their demographic by playing 60s and 70s music during the 90s to play 80s and 90s music now. Why? Well, it's obvious. What were you doing when you were 18? Yes

Awesome. I love Dane Swan and I think he's about to win the Brownlow. Let's see. Round 23 and he's up by 6 from Dal Santo. Dal Santo needs two B.O.Gs. And he only gets two votes. Swannie gets 2 and WINS THE BROWNLOW. This is great. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just dance around the house in my tracky dacks. 34 votes. The highest number of votes ever. In the interview he's calling Bruce, '

So Judd's on 23 now. And Mitchell is on 30. Dal Santo on 26. But Swan on 29. Okay. This is getting awkward. Bruce should have referred to the Mitchell situation as 'the elephant on the field'. Round 22. Judd needs a vote... And he doesn't get it. He won't win the Brownlow because he's 6 behind. Phew. Go Swannie... 3 votes!!!! Outright lead on 32. Two rounds to go. I don't think he can be beaten.

So do you get three votes when you have 45 touches? Let's see. Waiting for the votes. Waiting.. Waiting... Judd moves to 17. Waiting... Mitchell onto 24. Ablett onto 19. Waiting... Dal Santo 24.... Waiting... Swan... 3 votes! And the lead on I think 24. Round 20. I watched this Collingwood v Port 168 point win at the Rose. It was apparently the last time I'll have the mixed grill at the Rose

Nice and short interview with Dane Swan. Dunno what he said. I think it was just words he said about football. Round 17. Demetrio has slowed down. Ablett is catching up. Carlton v Collingwood. Swan gets one vote. Thomas two vote and JUDD GETS THREE. Um. We (Collingwood) won that. Umpires just did that to take the piss out of us. It's okay. Judd won't win. Swan still up by three votes.

Seven's colour voiceover guy, Neil Kearney. I hate his whining, patronising fucking voice. Now for a montage tribute to football and natural disasters. With an Neil Kearney voice over. Sounds horrible doesn't it? Well, it's not too bad. But I'd rather they didn't do this stuff. Hold on. They have a cute little Japanese man who survived the earthquake! Oh, look at him! he doesn't speak english!

Round 15 and Dane Swan and Scott Pendlebury are up the top with Boyd and Murphy. This is great. Really great. But even better, Sam Mitchell is leading and can't win because he was suspended. At last Swan and Pendles getting the votes they deserve. Where's Juddy? Nowhere near the top. And now a fat and balding bloke in shit suit trying to sell us a gambling addiction. Get out of my TV, fuckwit.

Another montage. This one is past winners. My favorite is Graham Teasdale. Look at that suit. You do know it's brown. A very brown suit for the Brownlow. Oh, remember to wear a brown ribbon this Thursday to raise Finals Fever awareness. Because it's a very real problem. Back to the votes. Pendles is on 16 at Round 13, three clear of the next eligible player. Two suspended Hawthorn players are

Okay we're up to Round 10. I must have fallen asleep or something. Pendles and Swan are in the lead and Judd, the player Channel 7 did their stupid opening montage about, is nowhere near the lead. This is great. Reminds us all of the time the TV station did a big song and dance about Luke Darcy with camera crews in his family house and all sorts of contrived rubbish only to see Darcy get

My wife comma Lucy keeps talking about how boring this awards night is. She wants to put on an awards night that out bores the Brownlows by having a bloke on stage just ranting random numbers for seven hours. I like the sound of it. Round 3+4+Anzac Day. Pendles is off to a flyer. Gets another few votes. Dane Swan is doing okay too. Love to see them share it. If Demetrio doesn't slow down, he'll

It's not dirty or scandalous or anything. It just goes on to prove that Tom Hafey is one of the best humans ever. So if Tom Hafey is endorsing a brand of vitamins, you better go out ASAP and buy a bottle. Or you will die of scurvy.

I hate how they start sports telecasts. This one has a bunch of old sport legends talking too close to the camera. They're all talking about winning a triple whatever they won. Channel 7 are already convinced it's Judd or Goodes cos they're going for their third. I'd rather not see Jeff Fenech on my TV again. Okay, let's get this straight. I think Judd will win. I don't want him to win. I want

It’s been five months since the last posting.  The Nightwatchman speaks to Glenn Peters to find out why.   First question, the obvious.  Why?  Where have you been all this time? Good question Nighty.  I picked up two gigs and they took all my time.  Each day when I got home from work, I shot half a gram of Amway mixed with Jim Beam and battery acid into my eyeballs and went straight to sleep

I hate Carlton. I enjoy watching Judd play but I hate him because he plays for Carlton. Quarterbrain doesn't ask questions. He just makes statements. He just talks and hopes. Lucky Judd knows what to do by now. Judd says footy is just make believe. He quotes Jim Stynes. Oh no, maybe I should be commentating this interview in verse. Judd is a smart bloke and a nice bloke. A very nice bloke. But

R21 Here we go. Here we go. There's no way this is going to happen. I do like Dane's shirt. He looks over it. He wants to go home. Pendles steals the 3 votes. Judd wins the Brownlow. Eddie LOOKS FURIOUS. R22 and Swan gets 1 vote. Ablett comes second in the Brownlow with 26. Judd wins on 30. Rigged. I'm furious too.

R19. Judd is ahead by 2 votes in the "two horse war" with Dane Swan. Pendles gets two. Wellingham Sandwich gets 3. Swan is going to lose this war. Judd gets 3 votes. He's on 26. R20 is another game where Swan was easily the BOG but there's other selfish players who will steal votes off him. Swan needs 3. Judd needs to do his hammy. At least I didn't bet on Swan this year.

R17 and Jobe Watson has come out of nowhere to 16. Judd moves onto 23. Ablett onto 17. Swan onto 21! Here he comes! R18 Alan will get some votes. he's on 10. Played a ridiculous game. Matthew Boyd from Footscray is on 18. As usual you hear of Footscray players the first time on Brownlow night. Alan 1 vote. D Beams 2 votes................... Pendles 3 votes!

When it comes to awesome manliness, my mate Jack is an authority. Jack's votes for hot footballers? C. Judd 1 vote J. Bartel 2 votes A. Didak 3 votes I'm surprised Harry O'Brien didn't get a vote.

The ads are long. The interviews are long. The montages are long. The sponsored betting interview touts are long. And then Demetrio speeds through reading the votes. There's no wonder we, the people, have complete and utter contempt for commercial tv stations. R15 and Band of Horses do the montage music. There was a time I would've given a toss. Ah, Ben Cousins has his tongue out. He looks

In a canter. By ten lengths, by eight furlongs and any other betting cliches you can think of. Because tonight isn't about the ladies. It's about the betting ads. And about Dane Swan looking bored. Swan's coming back according to Quarterbrain but he would say that because he wants the twitterers to stay away from #qanda. R11 Ablett hasn't had a vote for awhile. Swan moves onto 11. He's still

After 3 montages, an interview with an old bloke who talked about another old bloke calling him a poof we're back to the votes. R10. I wasn't listening to round 9. During this round's montage we see the footage of the Richmond player getting his kenardleys crunched on the goalpost. Very entertaining. Judd is a long way ahead. Daisy Thomas just gets his first two votes. If he comes third I win

If I was a ten year old watching this I would be stealing my parents' credit cards to open an online betting account. How do you feel about that, Demetrio? You've just made the child in me a gambling addict. With all these witty and compelling ads on, me, Glenn Jr is destined to cost my dad his house and retirement. Happy now? And now you're doing a montage on a Pies losing grand final. I'm

There's a lot of wise arsing going on Twitter. Most of the jokes are about Brynne, Fev and after looking at it for a couple minutes didn't come close to a LOL. Twitter is all about the LOLs. Now for a montage of little kids saying cute things apparently. I hate that stuff. R6 and I'll listen carefully to the political voice over man. Dane Swan equal third with Barlow and a few others.

R1 and Demetrio is reading really fast. He sounds like how your mother would sound if she rang you on the set of The Muppets. Real fast. It was all a blur. I think Harry O'Brien got a vote and Garry Gary Ablett got a vote or something. I don't know but slow the fark down Mr Demmy Demmy Demetrio. R2 and he's not getting any slower. He's got faster. I think Pendlebury got two votes. It's

Here we go. It's Dane Swan's night. Ball magnet with lots of tatts. Every year I put money on him to win or place and every year I lose my cash. They've singled him out for his own entry onto stage with Gary Garry Ablett. JINX. Who could forget when they talked up Luke Darcy crazy like a few weeks ago. He barely got a vote.

A bucket of sawdust, yesterday. In primary school, the Top Dog of Class was Michael Prizmic. Everyone wanted to be his friend and, against what the pundits predicted, he chose me as his official Best Friend. One day Michael Prizmic vomited during the teacher’s reading of The Hobbit. Because I was official Best Friend I had to go to the school handyman’s lair and get the bucket of sawdust.

Yesterday at a corporate meeting I was at someone talked about a "helicopter view document" which "helicopters" the other documents. Surely not. With blades and gravity and shit, helicopters have a hard enough job flying. Ironically, the meeting was about the corporation's new clear language policy.

A gingerbread house yesterday. An important safety reminder for those who are building gingerbread houses this Christmas. What starts as a delightful Christmas project for all the family could end in tears and havoc due to shoddy and amateurish gingerbread house construction.

Catherine Deveny sure knows how to write an opinion piece. As I write, 194 comments have been left in today's Age column about private schools. That's 21,006 words. At an average of 181 words per comment. It would take 35 hours to read them all aloud if you were reading at the standard speaking speed of 100 words per minute. The standard novel is around 60-80,000 words. Why do all these

Round one and I’m a little nervous. I put some cash on Dane Swan to win the thing and hedged it with a little on Chris Judd. If Gary Ablett wins this I stand to lose a whopping $25. I loved Dane’s 2009. Never seen a harder runner. Then again, I’m not sure if I’ve seen a better player than Ablett.

Ladies and gentlemen, please charge your glasses...Quarterbrain's first question. "Tell us about your childhood."I'm bored by the interview already. Hold on, there's a story about some teammates who died on the field. Thanks Quarterbrain. Bring back the trauma. He's sad now.Gary Ablett looks a bit miffed. Poor bastard. Adam Cooney is sorta funny. He's thirsty. "I need this," while taking

Seven hours in and only three rounds to go. Black on 23, four ahead of Richo.Round 19 and Steven Milne's face puffs up like one of those fish and our Prime Minister claps like a simpleton. Brent Harvey is on 17 now. Cooney on 21! Black no votes. They played against each other. Ableeeettt on 22! He's back. He might get it. I'm exciterated. RICHO ON 22 VOTES!! GO RICHO!!!Round 21.

Richo could win this. No seriously.Round 18: Didak and Shaw out for the rest of the season. A tragedy. I love Alan like a brother. Pavlich creeping up at 17. Buddy at 17. Richo has left his table. He should have got votes that game against Geelong.Round 19 and we killed St Kilda dead. I can't remember who played well that game. I was too sad about Alan. Harry and Leon get votes. Yay

All the showbag contents have been eaten and I'm getting edgy. Round 15 montage and we won't see votes from Ablett for a few weeks. Pendles gets his 4th vote. That's what happens if you're not prepared to run hard and make hard decisions etc. Geelong players stealing votes from each other. Simon Black clear leader by four. He will win. Round 16. None of the favorites near it. No votes for

The Robert Harvey tribute has hit its ninth hour. There's a guy playing sax and Kate Ceberano singing Oh When The Saints. Also The Bloods coach (my other team and the team Harvey will play for next year with any luck), Jamie Shanahan is there with a lot of old blokes to welcome him on stage for what will be the most enduring trial of his career... an interview with Steve Quarterbrain.

Can I just have half an hour in a locked room with that channel ten voiceover guy? You know the one. He opens the coverage with something like, "Two gladiatorial curmudgeons preside over 46 finely crafted manbeasts in an epic contest rivaling that of the famous battle between giant immortal Typhon and the black fearful eyed Echidne blah blah blah."I want to kill him.Until he is dead.Round 13

Best Brownlow get-up ever.Round ten. Dane Swan gets three votes, so does Cooney and Black. Black in the lead.Round 11 and Judd should get the votes and so should Ablett. Ablett does but so does Black. He might win this. Judd only gets two votes and is 13 off the lead. Tarkyn Lockyer gets a best on ground. Huh? How did that happen?Round 12. We're racing through so we can have another

Just as I spew, Luke Darcy decides to read a speech about an old bloke who works for Footscray as their property steward, Eddie Walsh. And now for a thing about an old lady who's been working for the Cobden Footy Club for the last 873 years,

Round seven highlights include Wannameari sic kicking goals, Juddy getting hit at West Coast and Richmond losing in a tight one. Awesome.Richo gets two votes and he's in the lead with 12! Adam Cooney looks thrilled to be there. Mad Monday has been very long today it looks.Round eight highlights inclde Cance Bateman dacking an opposition player. Scallywag.Ablett has only eight votes and so far

I just got a text message with the incorrect claim that Adrian Anderson is my boyfriend.Back from a break and we see an interview with Gary Ablett Jr when he was 14. Neil Cordy asks a stumper and gets:"Payin' out my old man. I just ignore them and get on with the game."Best kid ever.Round 5 footage and we see the poos and wees ridiculous white and brown bird away strip.Medhurst gets three votes

Round three and we get some greaat footage of Chance Bateman playing with his wedding tackle and Dale Thomas kicking yet another freak goal. Demetrio is reading too farken fast. The world is yelling SLOW THE FARK DOWN!!Heath Shaw gets three votes. Round four and we get Barry Hall's punch on Staker. One of the greatest moments of 2008. This is also the first the Pies' losses to the dark side.

Television’s night of nights is kicked off by Kate Ceberano flogging a dead horse, trying oh so hard to let me entertain you come on come on come on. Sad. But nobody cares. Hosted by Steve Quarterbrain. Nobody likes this guy. Nobody.Why does the Armourgard guard have to wear his or her army uniform? Surely the result is leaked just like every other year.Now Demetrio starts this officially

My love of Scrabble has nothing on the fine people on the tournament Scrabble circuit.And with all obsessives, tournament scrabs players need to play on their own, homemade or custom-made scrabble boards.

After six weeks of toothache the angry fucker came out today.Dental hospital. I was quite scared. It was like the specialist, a new specialist, not the guy I had booked in, didn't know what was going on to start with. He asked if I had come in as an emergency that day and I wasn't convinced he had a proper look at the x-rays. So I told him exactly what we were there for. He looked impressed
