I strongly recommend any Marketing/PR person just starting out to download and install Particls: http://particls.com/. You can use Particls to watch the internet for you. Enter the phrases and words that are your products and brands, and watch the conversation that ensues.
It is wise to start [...]
How the New Particls Sidebar Changed my Life
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007I think Particls just changed my life. I've replaced my Microsoft Windows Vista Sidebar with this new version of Particls. Having Particls watch the web for me keeps me on-the-ball, more than caffeine. Well, almost.
Having interviewed Chris and Ashley from Particls, and visited their lair in Brisvegas, I knew these guys where onto something.
Upon returning [...]
Neil Finn Lyric Server goes Mashup
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007The Microsoft PopFly alpha can make you lose three days. In a good way. I haven't had so much fun since, well, Photoshop maybe.
I've created a public PopFly "Block" called NeilFinnLyrics (now shared) this is bare, bare bones. It simply uses the new REST interface to the Random Neil Finn Lyric Server. The Lyric [...]
Explaining to my Mum what I actually do
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007Having grown up on a farm, I saw what my Dad did every day. I saw it grow; and helped around. I learnt how to read clouds and the sky to determine the weather, and what the time was without a watch. From memory, at about 12 years old pretty much anything that could be [...]
Asserting Diplomatic Immunity in Subverting the Microsoft Hierarchy
Monday, June 18th, 2007After a series of presentations I gave to Principals of Victorian schools, I had described my role at Microsoft as a digital diplomat. This perfectly describes a part of my job as a bridge between the digital immigrants and digital natives. (Prensky, Marc: 2001)
Now Frank Arrigo, my manager, has entered that into the internal Microsoft [...]

My random, assumptive breakdown of the audience of about [...]

Notes: Mount Gravatt ICT Day April 2007

Web 2.0: needs extra work to map to teaching outcomes (del.icio.us, flickr) Many Web 2.0 sites still blocked by policy. It makes it difficult to use all the cool web 2.0 stuff in school, especially when these tools will be used by the students for project delivery. Think a mashup as a project handin. (cool!)

Difference of Opinion: Digital Age
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007It has been an excellent week for the ABC. The Curtin "docu-drama" gave a portrait of a man of his time: Prime Minister John Curtin during the 1941 through 1942.
Last night, Jeff McMullan did a standard "journalistic show" wrapped as debate on new technologies, and the impact on community on "Difference of Opinion: Growing Up [...]
