1) What were you doing 10 years ago:
i was living in a crappy one bedroom flat in north fitzroy that smelt like curried fish soup. i was working as an editorial assistant at a technical writing company … i would later be fired from this job because i hated it and it hated me in […]

what to do, where to go and who to ask for when i get there?

i’ve been through a bunch of different incarnations of the confessional personal blog. i don’t want to do that anymore.
i’ve tried keeping a graphic art/illustration theme central to this blog but i got bored. and also i realised something, graphic designers are, generally, quite dull people who think thinking outside the box all the time […]

Chicken Little

I did a trial run to Werribee last week during peak hour and it was better than I thought it was going to be. From West Footscray to the new house was about 35 minutes.
It’s going to be a bit of a head shift. It takes 10 minutes to get to work at the moment […]

where we get our own back on technology

we bought a new computer online from de11, arriving Monday. i feel a little sad it’s not a brand-new mac but uni work and work work at home works better on a pc. and they’re cheaper (although fragile little poppets). i could tell you specs and dimensions but i don’t really care that much as long […]

Blogging

holidays day #3

is it a holiday when you do school work?
and i love Australian Idol.
this post was much longer but then i realised it could be boiled down to those two points.

curious blue

today i had a job interview and i was driving out to melton thinking, “this career thing. it just doesn’t follow a clear path”. it may have been easier, in retrospect, to follow my first job dream and become a fireman. although shift work and physical exertion. hmmm.
i am also studying again because i am […]

the machine is watching us

i am on the midnight baby shift tonight and i have finished all my bits and pieces for work so i was wandering aimless around the internet, which is better than wandering aimlessly through the television channels at this time of night.
i found this article about facebook via mark o’s items of interest. this part […]

Second Life

Yesterday I  worked through the 23 things program developed by the  PLCMC, created  as a self-learning tool for librarians about  all things web 2.0 (those social  networking tools  like  wikis,  blogs, rss, youtube,  technorati  etc) . Some of the stuff I already  knew, but it’s always good to revisit things  and  discover you don’t quite […]
