EB Games, Albert Street, Brisbane
FOR my first blog for Tech Wired Australia, I thought I’d best post on topics I know the most about, so here’s the spill on what was the main Brisbane launch of World of Warcraft’s: Wrath of the Lich King.
Thursday even before 10pm there were large queues of rabid gamers snaking up Adelaide and Queen streets. This was to be their standing for the next two hours until the game was released.

ANOTHER BTUB geek meet complete with another one in sight, Halloween BTUB was interesting to say the least.
@Alegrya was up from Sydney, so us Brisbane folk took the chance to celebrate with a Brisbane Twitter Underground Brigade.
So yesterday I trekked off into the distance, all the way to Brisbane, and for what reason you might ask?
Brisbane’s oddly month designed MacTalk meet ups, where the mac kids meet face to face.
Turn out was good, 8 people (three had iPhones).
We chatted about our jobs, and mainly the iPhone, whilst nibbling on wedges and meals.
It was good fun overall, and I know we all can’t wait until the next.
Here’s me!
Here’s everyone else:
Long live Apple.

Excuse the lack of enthusiasm from myself, as I was worried about the technical aspects of the interview. Tech Wired Australia has taken a little hiatus this week from normal broadcast, and gone ‘outside the box’ to discover other things going on in the world, other than Microsoft and Yahoo having a little proxy battle. Watch my brief Interview with Ian Kath, a fellow podcaster who attended BarCamp Brisbane. He interviews others with interesting stories at http://yourstorypodcast.com .
