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

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!

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

_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

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

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"?)

just signed up for @pinboardIN; $6 + amazon makes payment ridiculously easy; looks like a v useful bookmarking service; http://pinboard.in/

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

13January2010 07:18

replenished my supply of coffee from @vellanero but going away for the weekend; may have to wake early and do a home-brewed espresso tomoro

13January2010 02:05

google china doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Freedom — they just can't run a business when their infrastructure's attacked

Just Like Heaven (http://bit.ly/5IpcP2) — @ftrain's beautifully poignant essay on eternity and afterlife

11January2010 09:22

cooked with tofu for the first time tonight, and it was actually rather good — not going veg but it's still a new frontier

11January2010 01:38

exchanging broken headphones in-warranty: david jones = run-around, 2 months; apple = on-the-spot, 10 mins; customer service that Just Works

10January2010 03:29

set up the new bookshelf so bought a bunch more books to go on it — my in-progress/to-read "pile" is now an entire shelf

09January2010 21:54

fascinated by the colours meme sweeping facebook — I've never seen a meme manifest so rapidly across such disparate groups of people!

09January2010 10:18

I've lived here nearly two years and just went to the roof of the building for the first time — it's actually quite nice up there

09January2010 02:30

a great idea: a "disloyalty card" encouraging ppl to tour east london's coffee scene: http://bit.ly/7YaNwB

09January2010 02:10

wow, bacon and eggs make for a great morning recovery — I really should keep the fridge better stocked

tix arrived for the opera house's full swing program; got sing the truth (nina simone tribute ft dianne reeves et al) & branford marsalis

04January2010 11:25

oh no — I'm out of coffee and @vellanero are still on holiday this week!

03January2010 08:27

starting to wind down from holidays; first step completed: holiday beard removed

31December2009 15:30

happy new year all! not such a fan of the arbitrary celebration just cos we made it around the sun again, but hey, 2010 is like the future!
