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 [...]

Catchup – ConnectingUp 09
Monday and Tuesday of this week saw me in Sydney for Connecting Up 09. This is an annual conference that focuses on technology in the Australian community services sector.
