What a fn week ! This has been a locknload period if ever I've seen one. (yday i travelled for hours, only to get to sleep by 2am to wakeup at 5am for first meeting in city at 730am) All very Circa 2000/1. In a good way too. Damn it, the pace back then was something which was enjoyable if u were in the zone. (generally Australia is great climate/culturewise but a bit zombie speed for business - Deals here take for ever to implement, even when closed)

Melbourne will be half shut down next week with Derby Saturday, Melbourne Cup Saturday and Oaks Thursday (I think Im totally out of racing loop; im at least 24-48 months from getting invited to the real racing VIP parties : and alot more work to go, which is at least lining up nicely; as say they its a numbers game - more meetings, equal more opportunities - as long as u r meeting with cheque signers, decision makers and/or babes - as i say).

So Friday and nice vignette from Barry $20 Billion Diller who others are saying should buy Zillow.com for a benjamin of $M's. Newsweek and note the appearance of Jack Welch ex-GE : "The wonderful thing is that the window of opportunity on the Internet is not going to close any time soon.. All old-media dogs are going to have some more sleepless nights."
