Good day to you all,

This week we have been considering time travel. The clocks are changing in the UK for British Summer time - but there are some people on-line who manage to change time to suit their needs whenever the situation fits.
You can hear more about their adventures of course on the podcast.

gc66.jpgFor starters this week, we're getting our game on. returns and one of the organisers - Philip Trippenbach dropped into the studio to explain why gaming is one of the most important and vital industries of our time.

CVChris Vallance returned to the coop this week. He's been writing excellent articles and creating great radio packages as part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News Super Powers season. As a part of that work, he took a closer look at moral boundaries online and chatted with Mike Bonanno, one half of , so see where the line is crossed when it comes to being a political prankster.

So who travels through time - apart from Dr Who? We do - for sure, each year the clocks change and we adjust our time, almost without thinking. But there is much more fun to be had with some research and presentation.

mn66.jpgMatt Novak runs the blog . As a paleofuturologist, he unearths visions of the future from the past. Entertaining, eerie and sometimes beautiful, the commentary on what we had hoped or feared for our future decades looks strange in comparison with the future we already inhabit. I wonder how close to the mark current designers are as they look decades ahead of us today?

cw66.jpgYou too can time travel, according to Chris Wild. He's a Retroact and his blog - plays with our understanding of historical documents, encounters and time itself. He came into the studio, although he didn't mention his method of travel that day, and told me all about our durational and directional time expectations.

Well - even in the company of time travellers, that was all I could squeeze into this week's edition. But this means that there are fresh topics ahead of us in the next episode.
