Friday, June 29th, 2007After Neil Finn, JD comes Nas. She is smart and really funny.
She's started her blog, Flickr'ng and met her hero all in the same week. Not to mention something with fish. Here she is choosing lunch, or finding Nemo. Or probably both.
WPF and Silverlight for Designers. Removing the "bloke-i-ness" of Silverlight and making it real. [...]
End of FY07 in the Heart of Finance: AMP
Friday, June 29th, 2007Every year, AMP has a small IT expo where their vendors get to display the products and services they want to sell.
Microsoft, due to paternity leaves, various end-of-year / beginning of year shenanigans, it's down to me. Single-handedly representing a multi-bazillion dollar company to another multi-bazillion dollar company.
Today, I do my normal day's work with [...]
Scoble on Write-only Marketing
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Robert Scoble, now earning a living dealing with PR people in the 'valley, understands the difficulty of blogging from within large organisations. Robert refers to one of the 4000-or-so bloggers at Microsoft: David Weller.

Using Powershell, .Net, OpenXML and some code that I barely understand because it's not Python; he's been able to generate 60 to 70 documents per second.
Linking it here as it intersects [...]
Alive at Pamplona
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Hey, Jeffa The Geek Stories has the scoop, before The New Inventors: watch the interview with the Alive Tec CEO Bruce Satchwell - that blue device attached to the patient is made on the Gold Coast!
Emailing Bruce last night, apart from complementing me on my sharp eyes and good memory - he also broke the news [...]
Stephen Price, a WACOM Tablet and Popfly:
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Monday morning at ReMIX. Coffee hadn't quite kicked in. I wandered over to a man standing, rather bemused, near the wall. Stephen Price. He was all the way from Perth on an overnight flight (read: 2 hours sleep). Steve's card has cute cartoons. A .Net developer in the daytime and a cartoonist in "his shed"
Stephen let [...]

Beginning of Gonzo Video Journalism
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007A unique program on the ABC 10 years ago, John Safran ruled.
"Race Around the World" pitted amateur videographers against each other, as they traveled around the world getting stories.
Handicams, simple editing and excellent stories pre-dated the intraweb pseudo-stars doing long-form interviews or strapping a camera to their head.
Go have a look at John Safran's work:
