So aussies may end up owning MySpace and/or editing Wallstreet Journal, but now it seems we may become the India - just not Satyam lets hope (or Seattle Post Intelligencer who r goin2 have2 go online only in lieu of being sold) - of US newspaper outsourcing via BuzzMachine :

“The Telegraph of London is outsourcing production of some of its sections to Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.. The work will go to Pagemasters, a company owned by the Australian Associated Press (co-owned by Fairfax and Murdoch’s News Corp), which said it has received inquiries from publishers around the world. I’ll bet. I’m surprised that American newspaper chains haven’t consolidated nearly all their production; there’s no reason it can’t be centralized. As the Herald reports, it makes even more sense to do it in Australia because salaries are lower and the work there can be done on the cheaper day shift.”

Just finishing : Season 4 of Lost which frankly has been a revelation. Right up there with one of the best seasons of TV I’ve watched, well after Season 7 The Shield / Season 1+2 Mad Men /The Wire Season 1+3. Haven’t got time to rave about it but recommended viewing pre the last Season 5 which starts later this month. Off to Rye then Botanical Gardens as part of the whole German cousin/aunt visit.

Lost Season 4 Torrent - Awesome.

Thought for the Day : Diablo Cody Junot writer, on Kanye West’s blog : “I think it’s cool that Kanye West gets so excitable on his blog. I love the Louis Vuitton Don, and if he’s up his own ass, I wanna be up there with him.” From the Luis Don himself v ia X17 : “I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Bjork. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Bjork.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”"

Then again maybe u just wanna watch the Palm Pre not Kanye be Naked : The HD Preso.... I better go. But I’m gonna bite the bullet on the excellent In Treatment 43 episodes season 1 with Gabriel Byrne, all 9.3 gig of it ! Interview on Sepinwall : “What were the strengths and weaknesses of that first season? I thought it was at times an agonizing portrait of people in crisis. My favorite storyline, I liked everyone’s work, but I thought the Sophie storyline moved me the most. I thought the sessions with Dianne were pretty terrific. And it was accurate that the couple was stuck, in a sense. And of course when you’re doing a show about a therapist, in the first season there’s going to be a question of, “Is he going to sleep with a patient?” That has a built-in drama to it. This year we have to think more in terms of arcing things over the seven episode run. You don’t have that “Will he or won’t he?” thing hanging over the whole season. I have to find ways to deepen it. I also think this year will have more of a sense of place than last year. Last year took place in a Maryland suburb, but it was almost like once you got into that room, the outside world didn’t exist. And it’ll have more of a presence.”
