One of the youngest Dalabon speakers is currently in a coma in Darwin hospital, and I'm guttered. Thanks to increasing usage of mobile phones in the Katherine region, I am, however, able to stay in touch with his family, and get updates on his status.
More on the use of mobile phones and the use of Dalabon in another post, but for now, I'm a bit distracted.

Gah, far out! Sorry to hear that. I hope he recovers!
"Hi:
Two things
1) I’d like your permission to (re)print your article on ‘Intervention’ for our website
2) I was hoping we could use your ‘scribing’ talent for our website.
The Best Shows Youre Not Watching (dot) com [all one word]
’Intervention’ is one of our featured shows. We’re hoping to round up a few people who can occasionally contribute perspective (via an article/blog) on the shows – maybe a recent episode, future direction, plot shortcomings etc.
What’s in it for you?
Primarily a larger audience back channeled to your blog. We don’t pay but the site has a lot of promise and we're pretty excited about getting it off the ground. Let me know what you think.
Thanks
