Oh guess what, you hate the new name for our national spread?

"Vegemite - iSnack 2.0"

Well, it's so funny to look back and remember when my hubby and I were in the thick of Web 2.0 in 2005 and many in Silicon Valley rebuked the mention of the label WEB 2.0 and because of this, the new word for the internet resurgence was changed to "Social Media"....so now after 4 years the makers of Vegemite play a crazy play on the "2.0" resurgence where everything done a second time has a "two point o'er" after it... just how far behind are we techies?

When it comes to whats cool in the "real geek world of Silicon Valley" I think we really are, and us geek folk are cringing...I can't claim to be extremely geek, but I have lived in Silicon Valley during the Web 2.0 and Valley rebirth and I really think an apple-like "i" in front of everything and a "2.0" after everything is like putting on 70's platforms and running in them all day!!!!

[inject humorous sarcasm] - What it should have been was hanging an "r" like Flickr somewhere or make up a crazy name like Bing or Google..that would have been more geek classay!! [end of humorous sarcasm tone]

But hats off to the **"Web designer in Perth" at least you are famous for continuing the Social Media polarity. I am sure you didn't fathom that Kraft would think, "oh yeah!!!! how cooooool.... lets try and get in on the Web 2.0 thing, it'll be a winner...."

....sounds like something your parents would say.....as they dig out their crusty 70's platform shoes...

**Apparently he was the winner of "name the new vegemite product competition here in Australia" and yes I will buy and taste it, I am sure I won't shut down and need a reboot...mwah mwah mwah

and hey I just came up with a name in a thought - "Kangamite" come on peoples at Kraft

Tip of of the Day - SOCKS

Fold down the top band of the socks to prevent the nasty red sock line some kids get and if your little one has socks that start to slip off while they play (which can be dangerous) pull up the socks properly and do a few folds lifting up gently so that the folds are secure and fold down to the ankle.

We had such a beautiful day yesterday, it really felt like spring!!!! We took a wonderful drive up to the Perth Hills to experience the spring flowers in bloom, it was warm, sunny and relaxing....I wake up this morning and it is raining! oh no, I hope it clears up soon...it's the Royal Agricultural Show in Perth (held once a year) and I feel for all those thousands of people planning to try and go to the show today. I wonder if the rides in Sideshow Alley will be operating?? At least most of the animals are housed in the pavillion...

Well, the kids have been enjoying a lot of festive birthday parties lately and it is beginning to feel like a taste of christmas is coming...It also reminds me to start getting into more Minti PR and raising awareness of this resource! Mainly getting infront to Government to help support Minti and it's purspose to help parents connect and share real experiences with other parents..

"When love takes over, anything is possible"

I am sitting next to my youngest and marvelling at his interest in sea creatures under the sea...

this movie has got me intrigued I have no idea what this latest pixar movie for kids is about. I think the movie comes out on Sept 10, so I will be taking the boys to see it for sure.

I can't believe it's only a couple of weeks till the end of term 3!!! Time flies...

Hope you are all having a great week...I am looking forward to resting and sleeping somewhere there in between :0)

Cheers all
