audience is 90% old white people and the few exceptions just prove the rule; not that I'm at all surprised, of course

13February2010 08:49

in a further exploration of my whiteness am at the opera house tonight — sydney symphony doing mahler

13February2010 06:25

is hard seeing the secret six drawn by a different artist — I love nicola scott's beautiful anti-heroes

13February2010 04:02

nice chilled saturday afternoon: olafur eliasson at the mca (recommend it!) and a drink at opera bar; just hope the storm holds off

12February2010 12:20

chose the wrong time to walk home tho — was literally wading thru the streets and got soaked to the bones

12February2010 12:16

a night of farewell drinks: @wheelyweb leaving gruden; HV leaving corporate law for legal aid; best of luck both!

11February2010 21:45

my web server got hacked — looks like they exploited a vulnerability in a really old version of wordpress I wasn't maintaining anymore

11February2010 12:57

yeah don't see the wolfman! was hoping for entertainingly bad but it was just bad bad (except maybe hugo weaving, who chews lots of scenery)

"I’ve come to expect, of my technical and business peers, that they will be well-informed" http://bit.ly/dnRLUo (& I'm regularly surprised)

10February2010 20:07

the iPhone 3.1.3 update has destroyed my battery — fully drained from 70% overnight, two nights running! anyone know how I downgrade?

08February2010 08:35

different how, I'm not sure, but it hurt bad and that makes me miss it more!

08February2010 08:34

went for a run at last — this time I'm gonna get back into it! (yeah, I've been saying that for a cpl months now, but this time's different)

06February2010 06:21

daybreakers has a predictable vampire movie plot with excellent world building and design — the little details so much more than the whole

06February2010 03:37

hence need to create white space for oneself RT @johndyer you get interrupted every 3 mins [...] takes 8 mins to get into a creative state

04February2010 09:06

unexpected: study finds abstinence-only sex ed actually works: http://bit.ly/at7L82 (helps to keep it sane, rather than moralistic)

04February2010 05:26

head down, looped thru florence + the machine 3 times; just took the headphones off and discovered the afternoon had passed me by

31January2010 09:44

dollhouse epitaph two is a beautiful way to end a show — delightfully poignant; even the almost-too-corny ending was pitch perfect

31January2010 04:58

with those crime stats containing almost a million data points, this is far bigger than anything I've done with django before

31January2010 04:52

in 3hrs I've setup the data models and imported 8 yrs of population and crime stats cross-ref'd for all nsw local govt areas; loving django!

30January2010 07:00

reviewed The Road at http://bit.ly/ancO66 — great adaptation; incredibly powerful; read the book first if you can (it won't take long!)

30January2010 05:09

the post-apocalyptic experience of The Road was enhanced by sitting in a cinema that was cold and dark and stunk of mould

29January2010 07:31

no response all thru the work week then a voicemail friday evening saying call me any time, so I get to chase u again next week? well played

28January2010 12:15

_six characters in search of an author_, reinvented by headlong, is great theatre; took a bit too long to set up but unravelled delightfully

28January2010 03:23

spare ticket just came up for six characters at seymour centre, 8pm tonight; msg me if interested

27January2010 10:38

love the song in the _fighting_ trailer; was easier to buy than d/l illegally; am so hoping apple can do for writing what they did for music

27January2010 10:22

french film festival program up @ http://www.frenchfilmfestival.org/prog/sydney.aspx — lots of good looking films this year; runs 2-21 march

27January2010 10:14

massive attack @ opera house forecourt monday 15 march; tix $120; anyone interested?

27January2010 07:52

I'm no fan of abbott but the spin being put on his comments is horribly poor journalism; I thought he was remarkably humble

27January2010 07:51

context is everything RT @TommyTudehope [...] biased report on Abbott's comments on #aca. Totally missed the context in which they were made

26January2010 05:07

huh — on twitter/fb the "load more" at the bottom of the page is incredibly annoying; on http://app.itize.us/wp/ it's automatic and gorgeous

25January2010 23:05

love this: a cube that re-sells itself on eBay every week — http://io9.com/5456608/could-this-be-the-beginning-of-the-ai-revolution

23January2010 01:16

on the way to albury, made it to goulburn, which is, now that the worst of the drought has cleared, a much healthier looking town

20January2010 11:10

everyone I know is selling BDO tickets; seems like a shark-jumping moment to me (as if the aussie flag debacle a cpl yrs back wasn't enough)

20January2010 09:19

+1 hope; fear not RT @rachelhills Prediction/hope: the 2010s will be a decade of low key elegance and the death of conspicuous consumption.

20January2010 06:58

reading john maeda's laws of simplicity for @uxbookclub sydney — great ideas couched in cringingly poor writing (or is it "simplistic"?)

18January2010 09:49

rather depressing article about responses to #haiti http://bit.ly/8VwGZc /via @lachlanhardy

15January2010 23:23

at a cafe at the entrance; an easy start to what looks like being a very chilled weekend of sun and sand

14January2010 03:55

awesome — find coffee nearby h/t @vellanero RT @Beanhunter The Beanhunter iPhone App is now available for download! http://bit.ly/8hcnpw
