    Morning traders,

    Lets talk climate first. In the Southern City, we are currently having a serious wet patch which we hope will be the last before we enter Spring (our favourite shoulder season) in 8 days time. Hope everyone has endured the winter months and will emerge unscathed and in good spirits.

    One of the more interesting things from my weekend, besides kids sports, Carlton at the G getting a nice victory in the junk time of the season, and plenty of goofing off, was in fact a show i happened to catch on ABC last night hosted by Todd Sampson called "Redesign My Brain". A four part series, i think i have seen it before but worth a look for a particular segment where a Brain specialist had produced a head worn sensory device a bit like a crown of thorns. Todd wore the device while thinking about making a small object on the screen rise up. The object was obviously in sinc to the headgear. Once he did this, and the item rose, the sensors detected how his brain did this. (in terms of what parts of the brain it triggered) They then showed Todd being able to use the headgear to make a small gyrocopter rise into the air, just by him using the same method of thinking about the gyro rising.

    Amazing stuff, sorry out of time but think about how this could be used for disabled people and the like.

    Have a great day out there
