Two important bits of news

Firstly, I discovered a new website today that is absolutely fantastic. Go here for a massive range of how-to videos on, well, anything.
I'll give you a few examples of videos that are on the website:
How to:

• kiss someone passionately
• avoid trapped arm whilst cuddling in bed
• adjust your digital camera's exposure
• get great abs through pilates
• fight a bear
• make traditional mince pies
• be the perfect girlfriend (??)

There is, quite literally, anything you want to find out about. There's also some handy office ones like what to do when you send a kamikaze email (you know the one, you accidentally sent it to the person you're bitching about - take note Observer).

And my second bit of news is that I received my first bit of post-John Howard literature today. It is quite exciting.

It's the Quarterly Essay, by Judith Brett, and it's called Exit Right: The Unravelling of John Howard.

How delicious.
