running on an even keel
It’s been a productive few weeks. Yesterday we launched the new Sleep Apnoea Association of ACT site. It was in desperate need of a refresh, probably the of the best examples of severe neglect I’ve seen actually. Took me right back to the Web 1.0 days! Anyway, I ran the spirit of their design through [...]
beacon flew pretty damn high
Yesterday I hit the road with James – destination The Metro Theatre, Sydney – in order to attend the James Blake gig. Turned out to be a well coordinated and well timed trip, transport and accommodation coming together without a hitch even though we did have to navigate the most horrendous car-park on earth. Now [...]
The Friends of Huong Phuong Orphanage
Events, or accounts of events, often drive my focus. I’ve always said context is important. With it you can better understand the human values at play in a given circumstance. When I heard about an orphanage for disabled kids in central Vietnam and the story behind it the thought “Must help…!” was evoked. Not that [...]
Items of Interest
An older album by Solar Fields recently popped up on my radar. Used as the soundtrack for the new game Capsized, ‘Movements’ is good news. Released in 2009 it sits right next to Solar Field’s soundtrack composed for EA’s Mirror’s Edge. I’ve had the Mirror’s Edge soundtrack for ages now but only recently played the [...]
Dive, dive, dive!
I don’t know when deciding to go back to the pool during the colder months of the year was a good idea. It may never have been, but I’m glad I had it. Heading back to the AIS made me realise how many hours I’d spent there in the past. Despite the time elapsed the [...]
Content factories
It’s full steam ahead over at elroyonline. He’d resolved to produce a regular podcast dealing with TV and movie culture, purchased a lot of nice audio equipment, then went ahead and did it. Remote Viewing, which previously existed as an animated short, now comes to you weekly in audio form. Man, these people consume a [...]
Catchup
Just to prove that I’m still alive, some songs that i’ll develop further, later; Sauce – It’s Hard To Do Well Your Job – Nobody Will Understand The Garden – Continues The Wold - Changes Every Time I Sleep Wicket – Still Lives Elroy – Does Podcasts Now Where I Thought I Would Be – I [...]
2010 to 2011
It’s been a few weeks! So this promises to be a content rich update… Christmas was obviously the event that took up a lot of everyone’s time. Over here it came together quite well. This year’s tree was the best ever. I spotted it quickly and it turned out to be the perfect size and [...]
flood factor 5. BuzzMoo displaced.
Well I guess it had to happen again at some point! In the face of torrential downpour there seems to be a structural weak-point in our house that lets a fair bit of water in. Luckily for the rest of the house the water comes solely into my my room! This happened many, many years [...]
Making Links 2010
What follows is my three day coverage of the conference “Making Links“. It’s where “social action and technology converge”. This year it was held in Perth. I attended, representing CASE. Today’s workshop “Building Websites From The Ground Up” has proven very valuable for us and I assume everyone else. We’ve had a range of diverse [...]
Hello, Perth
A quick update from the road (I guess sky) touched down in Perth this afternoon, quite tired. A short walk and some nice asian chicken later and I’ve got nothing bad to say about the city! Tomorrow kicks off three days of conference action, for details about this large event that deals with social action [...]
New Boards of Canada ?
New Boards of Canada impending? Or was it just a blip over the horizon radar…? “@bocpages Their site and myspace just got a black background. I don’t think this is just me. I thought I would let you know.” 8:34pm
Inns, Towns and Taverns Volume 1
I’ve listened to a fair bit of video game music in my time. I’ve got a significant collection and I guess hunting around for the old gems is a bit of a hobby I have. One of my favourite elements in game soundtracks are town, tavern, inn, celebration music. I decided to put together a [...]
Candidate summary for Fraser
Two days out from the election and I think I’ve worked out what I’m going to do. In order of preference: House of Reps: Quintin Hedges-Phillips – Secular Party: Decided to throw all I had at pushing back religion. Andrew Leigh – Labor: Bob McMullan’s replacement, haven’t seen to much of the kid on the [...]
The Sixty One
I keep coming back to this site: thesixtyone.com. I’ve decided that it’s a great site for music. How’s that? The web based music player is the best I’ve used. It’s a persistent banner at the top of the page that you can’t interrupt by surfing around the site that includes handy functions like download, save [...]
