A shout out to Alex Zaharov-Reutt who for years has been videoing major technology announcements and conferences around Australia. It was great to talk tech on his show on #TNT Radio. youtube.com/watch?v=FMAEuj…: #GenAI #AI #ChatGPT #Apple #Google #VisionPro #AIRegulation #MWC24

Last night's #TaylorSwift concert at the G had an enormous crowd but it isn't the largest. According to the MCG website, the biggest VFL/AFL crowd was 121,696, the highest recorded crowd for a cricket match was 93,013. But it's up there. Maybe the biggest show crowd.

Sydney to Barcelona live. I talk a marathon 40 minutes about the tech at Mobile World Congress 2024 with the fantastic Alex Zaharov-Reutt anchoring in Sydney. Pour a wine, rustle up a Spanish bikini sandwich, sit back, & watch. Gracias! youtube.com/watch?v=Vg7YXI… #mwc24 #barcelona

Really sorry I can’t be at the #Lizzies tonight but I’m madly cycling in Switzerland, France & Germany. Warm congratulations to all the winners, entrants and that wonderful mob at Influencing. Will be back soon.

New York Times Poll now suggests a runaway Trump landslide victory, his best result since 2015. With registered voters, the margin is a whopping 8 %. So what are the Democrats’ priority: their current man, no matter the cost to the country? #usa #Politics #biden #trump

Joe #Biden 's decision has complexities. Does he also retire as president? This would give Kamala Harris the electoral advantage of running from incumbancy. Also Biden would have to resign himself to not completing a full term as president. Hopefully he puts the US first.

Biden out. He did the right thing in the end by the USA and ultimately the world. So the election, barring any more surprises, shapes up as : the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. #Biden #Harris #usa
