What is the typical Australian's income in 2013?
A couple of years ago, the government changed the rules so that families on $150 000 a year or more wouldn't be eligible to receive family payments. There were the predictable cries of 'class warfare', but there were also claims that $150 000 in Australia leaves you struggling to make ends meet.

Leaky Nespresso U
I made this short video this morning to show the fault we’ve experienced with 3 different Nespresso / DeLonghi U’s that we’ve purchased and returned this week .
All three Nespresso U’s leaked in the same manner, about 17-20 seconds into the draw there’s a pressure increase and the leak starts, you see it in the vents on the back first, then it floods out under the machine.
It’s an electrical hazard without a doubt! The machine even shut itself down this time, and wouldn’t eject the capsule.
This unit is 4 days old, and only made 4-5 coffees a day.
I have a different Nespresso / DeLonghi machine at home that has a completely different reservoir system and I don’t have this problem. Time to take the machine back for replacement again!

First day back at work for 2013 today, had a couple of good emails from good clients. Definitely cannot complain about how this work year has started. So far so good.

Heading home from Adelaide.
Another trip away, this time it’s a quick dash to Adelaide to fix a busted Holter system.
Take this simple marketing quiz
Most people say they choose #2. In fact, most marketers actually do #1 or #4, and it’s only #3 that gives you the best chance–create a remarkable product or service…
I really have to remember this come mid-July when I’m prepping our booth space for CSANZ. I need to have something smart, cool, innovative, and I need to show my potential and existing clients that they matter.
When you’ve done many conferences where you’ve spent many hours on a booth, it’s hard to get really motivated to do something different, or at least interesting.
