The story behind the sci-fi book and movie by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke. written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1972.

This is Melbourne’s busiest train station, and for a time in the 1920s, it was the busiest railway station in the world. Today, I’m exploring the history and legacy of Flinders Street Station.

What's actually happening on the Suburban Rail Loop?... and the is a subtle classic little joke that tram nerds will spot!!

Melbourne's Western suburbs are finally getting a proper metro line!

The west is one of the fastest growing parts of Melbourne (if not Australlia), but for too long now they've relied on the state's regional diesel train network (V/Line) to act as their primary form of public transport.

In this video, we are going to look at why thats become such a problem for both this fast growing network, and the Vline network as a whole. We'll also look at the (recently funded) plans to fix that, and convert on of these V/Line routes (the Melton line specifically) into a fully electrified metro line.

This will have major impacts on Melbourne's railway network, and is going to represent the culmination of various major projects - including the airport line, the metro tunnel and the Sunshine super hub.

On top of that, it also represents a unique opportunity to develop and build out a whole new part of the city, so also in this video - we'll look at the importance of doing so properly, to avoid the typical suburban sprawl we've seen in recent years.

One Nation would win as many as 59 seats if an election were held today, pushing Labor deep into minority government and wiping out the Coalition in all but three states and territories.

That’s the worst-case scenario for the major parties in a large-scale analysis of voter intentions conducted by Redbridge Group and Accent Research that underlines the seismic shift in Australian politics since the last election......

The first run of Melbourne's new type of suburban train, the X'trapolis 2.0 happened on Sunday 3rd of May 2026.. and the crowd went wild.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced an additional $3.8 billion investment into Victoria's Suburban Rail Loop alongside Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

I'm interested how I can create an app that allows me to create new new vocabulary, while also capturing a soundbite of my pronunciation... I know this functionality is built into macOS, and I have even managed to make an apple shortcut with some Apple script to access this function that is in a sub menu from system settings... But it is buggy as hell and slow...

I am interested how I can build an application that would allow me to use the functions built-in to MacOS in order to present the Voice Control Vocabulary, and add a new word and pronounication?

It is a real pain that Apple have not built d this functionality into the current version of macOS... I know I can say "add to vocabulary", but it does not record my pronunciation, which is Australia...

Any suggestions how I can build such an application using Swift for Mac?

I have studied swift at university, but that was focused on iOS... I have very little experience working with macOS.. Does anyone have some experience that would be able to help me?
