I’m watching the fun run – swarms jogging up from Woolloomooloo to Lady Macquaries Chair. The fun part for me is that I’m watching it from my apartment, while sitting in jammies and sipping English Breakfast Tea.

The Blackmores Sydney Running Festival is on this Sunday, 23 September.

Howard Rheingold in Australia and Teledildonics

by Laurel Papworth on September 20, 2007 · 0 comments

Long before Amy Jo Kim and Jenny Preece wrote their Social Networking bibles in the late ’90s, and long, long before Danah Boyd started making friends on Friendster, Howard Rheingold was writing, speaking and evangelising communities online (late ’80’s).
