This is an innovative way for online insurer BudgetDirect to drive some traffic (geddit?) to its website via a "rally" competition draw. The prize begins at $5000 just for entering, then you get $5000 increments up to $20,000 for obtaining an online insurance quote, signing up friends and buying a policy. All this while tracking your little red rally car.

A bit of fun for digital camera buffs ... this little movie shows how to test whether your camera can "see" infra-red (or, more correctly, near-infra-red) and if it can, how to make a filter from easily found odds and ends to produce interesting pictures.
