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
Continue reading ...There’s the whiff of conferences in the air right now. Monday starts the 3rd annual AUC (Apple University Consortium) Create World Conference at Griffith University in Brisbane. 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 BAD day (blog action day) around the world and this year’s action revolves around poverty. BAD is a day when privileged people like me, who have access to a computer and the internet, can add fuel to the (sadly only lukewarm it seems) debate on the haves and have nots, on privilege, social justice

Continue reading ...So I went for a virtual walk through the online Timeframe video-art exhibition currently showing on Seesmic, and what did I find? Well for a start, fascinating pieces that are clearly the beginnings of something other than the ‘funniest video’ type format usually found on YouTube, and which … you can bet your bottom dollar
Continue reading ...I posted two days ago about Christi Nielsen and her innovative art show called TimeFrame which has just opened using the Seesmic video platform. TimeFrame will be showing for the next 72 hours or so. Here’s the thread which will continue to update as the hours roll by. Check in and join in if you

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.
