Stats tell fibs for Saints
From a statistical point of view, St.Kilda's effort against Geelong on Saturday was sound; it's just that it didn't translate into a win. "All of our key indicators indicate weve probably had one of our best games for the year we just couldnt score inside 50," coach Grant Thomas said after his clubs final match of the year.

Lunchtime antics at teched
so, im sitting at lunch with a bunch of our fabulous mvps, when along comes Adam Cogan (who datagrid girl says is 'a very funny guy'), who flops down on our table spilling food all over dotnetdan and then he knocks a bottle of juice all over nick randolph! i guess you had to be there to appreciate the humour in it all
|
|
lasers, mirrors & spandex
these 3 words are certain to excite any red blooded geek. when you mix in beer, it's something else. the tech-ed attendee party on monday might covered all this and a star wars theme to boot. it was a geek's dream come true - light saber included. the venue was a night club in fortitude valley, the attendees were all given laser pointers, which were used very creatively during the evening. special gueat host was the sandman. he entered the venue dressed as obi-one. the party was a blast. a good time was had by all. if anyone has photos - pls leave a comment!

Saints home at the Dome again
The West Coast Eagles are out of the top four and in danger of missing the double chance come September after being humiliated by St Kilda at Telstra Dome on Sunday.

Not only were they goalless in the opening term, they had managed just 2.7 by half-time and after a brief rally in the third quarter, the Eagles then allowed the Saints to run away with the game in the final term with six goals to one.
