this year.

Police were called to the nightclub early this morning and say they found a 29-year-old man dead at the scene. A 42-year-old security guard, who was shot in the arm, is in a stable condition in hospital. Police are searching for a man wearing a balaclava and armed with a handgun who was last seen running towards North Beach. [via ABC News]

It seems there are gun-toting idiots all over this planet, even here in Wollongong. Welcome to paradise.
Update: When I went down to North Beach for a surf today the Novotel was taped off by the Police. It would seem the club in question was Splashes Nightclub. Think about that, a shooting at a bar no more than 200m from my apartment. Thankfully the bar is much to expensive for me or my friends to frequent.
Update 2: News.com.au has an article with some more info, but it’s still vague. It appears that the shooting took place on the street outside the club. The gunman missed on his first show and followed the guy into the club. Interesting, New.com first reported it was a shotgun blast to the head. Honestly, can you sensationalize anymore? This will be the last update on this topic.

Google Maps Plugin for Address Book looks to be a great plugin for the mac. It provides a context menu when you hover over an address in your address book that provides a map via Google Maps. You can map the location or get directions between two different contacts. Is there any harm in installing something like this? I don’t know why these features are built in to programs.
