06.25.08Broken without a mouseMy slides and transcript for my introductory talk at the final National Museum of Australia Talkback Classroom on 25 June 2008. The theme of the event was Youth and the Media. I sat on a panel with Walkley Award winning journalist and presenter, Steve Cannane from the ABC and Jenny Buckland, CEO of the Australian Children's Television Foundation as we were questioned by a very smart bunch of university and senior high school students on our knowledge and opinion of their engagement with various forms of media. | View | Upload your own Just a couple of months ago, NYU professor, Clay ...

06.24.08Quoted in the AFREDIT: Of course, with the AFR's evil paywall, you can't read the article online. Lucky they flow it through to MIS Australia. I'm quoted pretty extensively in a major article in the Information section of today's Australian Financial Review, the leading Australian newspaper focussed on business. In the article, Social networking comes of age, sort of, journalist Renai LeMay discusses the paper I delivered at itechne's recent PubCamp events in Melbourne and Sydney. You can see the original slides and notes here. It's exciting to be quoted in a journal as important as the AFR. It kind of makes me feel that ...

06.13.08Enterprise 2.0 Conference - Quick Wrap-upThis is just a really quick wrap of my experience at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference the past four days. I've still got a couple of session posts in the pipeline. I'll complete them in the next few days. This summary isn't comprehensive nor all inclusive, just some bullet points: the CIA guys were, no question, the rock stars of the conference and read my blog! I met and talked to two real-life CIA analysts - Don Burke and Sean Dennehy are about the best walking ad the intel community could have there are real organisations out there having real ...

06.12.08Dear recruiter…UPDATE - Having emailed the recruiter in question asking whether they wanted to respond to my criticisms, I have received a response I have mixed feelings about. The person is embarrassed and feels a little shellshocked as far as I can tell. They are new to the Australian recruiting scene, but have experience elsewhere. I think that the advice I gave, which was probably a little harsh in tone, has been taken in the right way and I think this person will probably end up being someone we should look for - they'll be the person who knows about you ...
