Conversation. Collaboration. Community.
Like Stilgherrian, I’ve been invited by the organisers of X|Media|Lab Sydney to attend their event tomorrow and talk about their event online. I appreciate the gesture. And attend I will. And write I will. But like Stil, I attend very many of these sorts of events, and am of the mind that liveblogging them, or [...]

Others will disagree, but I really liked her – I’d totally study Anthropology if she was one of my professors. Nina Jablonski this month is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin‘s [...]

I met one of my musical favorites today at TED@PalmSprings – Jill Sobule. And, while I look like a complete goober in the photo, I’m very happy with it. Maybe I can get one in daylight tomorrow so I can avoid the inevitable blinking that comes with a flash going off.
