I was part of a podcast team headed by Allan Carrington and Ian Green from Adelaide University. I managed to get some interviews with various presenters and participants in

I’ll be working with a team of podcasters headed by Alan Carrington from the University of Adelaide. We will be gathering comment not just from presenters and performers,
Continue reading ...It’s been a great few days. The conference dinner (in the time-honoured way of conference dinners) got more of the chat flowing along with the sauvignon blanc and shiraz. It’s always good to make new connections … yes, social networking does happen outside FaceBook. I ended up having a couple of days getting to know

A live blog post from the final round table session. Sue Baker (VCA and Chair of ACUADS), Brad Haseman (QUT Creative Industries), Pat Hoffie (GU Queensland

Today was a cracker of a start to Create World 2007, even if the interactive playroom isn’t q-u-i-t-e available yet. Oh yes, it’s always the usually teeny techy glitches that spoil the party. Paul Draper’s

BTW, Topology (keyboard, cut-down double bass, saxophone, violin and viola) is very worth

And on the 20th day, they clicked three times before they rested. Who thought this one up? The 31 Day Comment Challenge became silly today with Three Links Out. We had to go to a familiar blog, click on a link, click on another link there and after landing and dusting off, look around and leave a comment. What did I find?
Well it all got surreal to be honest. On the first couple of blogs the links came to a grinding halt just two clicks out … dead end stuff. PS, lots of blogs don’t have Blogrolls, so you have to plough through postings to find a likely link. So, back I went to ground zero … my own Blogroll. From here I decided to go a blog premised on good design and great ideas, and find where that led. OK. Here I went again, feeling a bit like Doctor Who in the Tardis. You know the bit where he jiggles all the levers and doesn’t know where he’s landed till he emerges blinking into the sun/moon/other light of a planet somewhere.
