So much to tell… In Sydney, xammy talked again of Spain… what was a vague plan for a few of us to move to Bar­celona has now become a vision of eight Aus­tralian film-makers, some of them quite well known, and me, living in a wild Span­ish Apart­ment-style share…

Five years ago I atten­ded a smallish demon­stra­tion called N30 for Novem­ber 30. It was timed to coin­cide with the WTO meet­ing in Seattle, and I figured it would be a little bigger than the J18 global day of action we’d had in June, but wasn’t expect­ing much. Instead,…

My mother once again sent me a scar­ily accur­ate horo­scope: Out­rageous yearn­ings vs secur­ity con­cerns – or is it just that you need a spare $100,000 or so to fulfil the latest genius? Wel­come to the week of a whacked-out full moon squared by Uranus, your wild-hearted…

On our way out of earth­core, I did what I always do as a journo… I stopped to ask the ambos how the week­end had gone. I got the tan­tal­ising tidbit that they’d “lost one”. Dead? Not sure, they said. He was miss­ing. Now, if I was still work­ing for the Age, I would…

Mmmm… won­der­ful week­end. Waay to tired to describe everything… suf­fice to say for now that music is still ambro­sia, 1200 micro­grams and Shape­shifter are insanely amaz­ing, I got an access all areas pass and spent some time hanging out with GMS and Pitch Black, it…

There’s a magic in com­munity that’s hard to place. I’ve struggled against this word, com­munity, and its ‘us and them’ nature for a long time – my thesis was partly about that – but in the end, it’s the doing-in-common not the being-in-common that is magical and…

I know you’re cur­rently off having a swanky week­end in the Dutch woods, but I thought I’d put this here for your return… Happy 30th, dai­syn­erd! Hope the week­end was as fab­ulous as you hoped. We want details!!

Whoo hooo! Finally, a sens­ible way to search for aca­demic texts: http://​scholar​.google​.com. Of course, I just did a search that would ahve aided me with my thesis and scared myself at how little of it I had found via con­ven­tional meth­ods. I am look­ing for­ward to the…

I just fin­ished mark­ing 43 stu­dent Web sites. The only thing left to do is triple-check the attend­ance and par­ti­cip­a­tion scores, print it all out, take it in to the uni and deal with the poten­tial fal­lout. The stu­dent I thought was going to fail scraped through with a…

One of my stu­dents just sent me this link: http://​infocom​.else​where​.org/. So, I tel­net­ted and now I can play the ori­ginal text ver­sion of Zork. hawk_eye or pluces, did I take our ori­ginal box set of this or did one of you guys? I’d love to find my old maps… I could…

So how do you reckon we’d go with a “US into Darfur” protest? Can we sell it to them on the same grounds as Afgh­anistan and Iraq? “You guys are so pleased with yourselves for rout­ing the evil Taliban who hurt so many women, and the nasty Saddam with his dictatorial…
