Is Sesame Street the home of all good music?

So I got to talking with my neighbours the other night... somehow or other we ended up talking about Sesame Street songs.

I put it to the world that Sesame Street is in fact the home of all good music.  For just over 40 years Sesame Street has been providing us with joyful music combined with helpful alphabet, spelling and counting knowledge.

My all time favourite:

1, 2, 3, 4... (the pinball song) - interestingly, it was sung by The Pointer Sisters

In the same way that Uno is making a comeback, I predict that if you were to crack this song open on a dance floor anywhere in the world, it would go off!

And here are some other classics:

Optus, Virgin Mobile, 3G and the Coffs Coast

So I've got this you-beaut Android Google Phone.  It's great.  But being on the Optus network via Virgin Mobile, I'm constantly thinking about 3G coverage (compared to the ubiquitous but slower 2G option).


Apparently, Optus recently got the go ahead to upgrade a number of locations to 3G using the 2100Mhz frequency.  This is important if your phone doesn't support 900Mhz (which mine doesn't).


So I made a map.  This map shows the rough locations of the sites being upgraded by Optus in and around Coffs Harbour and Sawtell.  The only thing is, I don't have any way of knowing when the locations have/will be upgraded.
