Crowdfunding in Australia

What is Crowfunding? I am not going to bore you with detailed definition around Crowdfunding given it is no longer a buzzword. However given some of the readers may be new to crowdfunding, let me to try to explain in a simple way. "Crowdfunding : is where you are asking general public to trust and fund a project or a venture you are working on. In return you may reward them with your product/s, service/s, equity or add them to hall of fame in honour of their contribution"  What forms of Crowdfunding is available in Australia?

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand T20 31st March 2014

It is going to be an interesting game tomorrow (31st March) night at the T20WC2104. Whoever win will go through to the semi-finals. While I would have love to see both teams in the semi-finals it isn't going to happen as even a draw by rain or otherwise will only take one team through to the semis. Of course my 1st preference is Sri Lanka to win and go all the way to the finals. In the event Sri Lanka loose I will be supporting my 2nd favourite team Blackcaps. Let us hope whichever team win tomorrow will win the finals too !!!!

I knew it was going to be a long journey and knowing that I don't normally get a good sleep on long flights decided to take a paperback and many eBooks. So what did I ended up reading? Cloud Native Infrastructure (eBook) by Kris Nova and Justin Garrison I had already finished two chapters of this book while waiting to get on the plane to LA. After getting on to the plane read another chapter and given my phone battery was quite low I put in for charging while switched to reading the paperback. Anyway I continued reading when the battery was fully charged, so between Melbourne, LA and Austin managed to complete reading the entire book. What do I think about the book? Kris and Justin did a very good job explaining the running applications vs true Cloud Native applications. The book is structured in a way that it's easier to understand even for people who may have not worked or had...
