Over the last week or so my to-do list has been growing longer by the day. Pay those niggling bills, switch to e-statements for my banking, look into a short getaway for the Easter break, treat my ears to some new music, upgrade my mobile phone - the list goes on!

But with organisations making more of their services available online, I'm just thankful the majority of my list can be ticked off - without having to take on the weekend shopping crowds or run hither and thither - via the Internet.

Early plans are in place to provide all Australians with faster internet, so this month we're off on a whirlwind trip into the not-too-distant future to look at the Federal Government's plan for National Broadband Network and how it's hoped it will redefine the way we communicate online.

Successful business is all about communication, too, so we're pleased to unveil Westnet's new Business Plans, specially designed to meet your unique requirements to help your business grow.

The AFL and NRL season's so close you can almost smell it, so Westnet is launching its brand new Tipping Competition for 2010. This year we've given the competition a revamp, so make sure you register to be in the running for great weekly goodies and two massive major prizes.

Do you love being a Westnet Member? The Westnet Member Referral competition is now up and running, so spread the word.  We're giving you the chance to win a Home Entertainment Package for you and a friend, just for letting them know about the wonders of Westnet.

Lastly, two big movie giveaways round off a button-popping Newsletter with tickets to Denzel Washington and Sam Worthington's latest films also up for grabs, so good luck!

Avatar (2009)Avatar (2009)
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana
Director: James Cameron

After 12 years of thinking about it (and waiting for movie technology to catch up with his visions), James Cameron followed up his unsinkable Titanic with Avatar, a sci-fi epic meant to trump all previous sci-fi epics.

Set in the future on a distant planet, Avatar spins a simple little parable about greedy colonizers (that would be mankind) messing up the lush tribal world of Pandora. A paraplegic Marine named Jake (Sam Worthington) acts through a 9-foot-tall avatar that allows him to roam the planet and pass as one of the Na'vi, the blue-skinned, large-eyed native people who would very much like to live their peaceful lives without the interference of the visitors.

The movie uses state-of-the-art 3D technology to plunge the viewer deep into Cameron's crazy toy box of planetary ecosystems and high-tech machinery. The film itself is our Pandora, a sensation-saturated universe only the movies could create. --Robert Horton

Perfect on Paper: The (Mis)Adventures of Wavery BrysonPerfect on Paper: The (Mis)Adventures of Wavery Bryson
By Maria Murnane

Anything can look perfect on paper. When her fiancé calls off their wedding at the last minute, Waverly Bryson wonders if her life will ever turn out the way she thought it would...or should. Her high-powered job in sports PR? Not so perfect. Her relationship with her dad? Far from it. Her perfect marriage? Enough said. To keep sane, Waverly makes a habit of jotting down "Honey Notes," her own brand of self-deprecating wisdom and a pipe-dream for a line of greeting cards.
As Waverly stumbles back into the dating scene (no stalkers or jean shorts, please), her personal and professional lives threaten to collide. Perfect on Paper reminds us that everyone has a bad date (or twelve), and that everyone eventually needs a best friend to tell them, "Honey, you are not alone."
