Thanks BRAN – You Guys Rock!

After three weeks of both incredible stress (getting married) and extreme relaxation (the Fijian Honeymoon), I’m now back on board at Giz AU, ready to take it to the next level.

But before I do, I really want to stand up, and begin clapping my hands for the guys from BRAN who looked after the site while I was away. I’m sure all you regular Gizmodians will agree with me that they did an awesome job at the helm.

So, if you haven’t already, make sure you subscribe to their podcast – you can get it through iTunes or their website – It’s a fantastic roundup of the week’s biggest tech stories, and one of my personal favourites.

So, to Nathan, Angus and Roulla: Thankyou! As it says in the headline, you guys rock!

New Episode of BRAN Online

A note from the department of shameless self-promotion:

With regular Gizmodo editor Nick Broughall away on holidays, it has been left to the BRAN team to struggle manfully to fill his rather large shoes. While we’re doing that, however, we’re still producing our regular technology podcast, and episode 84 has just gone online. In it we look at when we’re getting the next generation of broadband in Australia, exploding iPod Nanos, the ABC’s online broadcasting plans, censorship in SA, Windows on the Eee PC, the Jimmy Wales scandal and more. Check it out here. [BRAN]

Greatest tech disasters of all time

9:21AM March 11, 2008 | Angus Kidman

As Nick mentioned last week, the team from BRAN, Australia’s edgiest tech podcast, are pitching in to help out at Gizmodo Australia while he’s off enjoying his honeymoon. While a good chunk of our time is currently spent knee-deep in gadget galleries (and we are totally not complaining), we’re also still producing our regular podcasts. In the latest episode, #83, we look at the seven greatest technology disasters of all time — products or events that really, really sucked. We don’t want to give away the whole list, but it’s safe to say that Apple, Microsoft and Sony all make an appearance. Check it out online or subscribe via iTunes. [BRAN #83]
