6:10 am on a Saturday morning and unreliable NetBank (Commonwealth Bank) is down. Again. I’m on my way to the airport, to Singapore. I need to pay some bills blah blah. I wouldn’t mind but I get this message 1 in 3 times I log in, and I log in only a few times a month. Anyone got a better bank? I’d rather they shut the branches down than the online thingie. The bank I had in England had brightly coloured “pockets” and I could name them – travel, Xmas present, new phone – and move money around small amounts. Continue Reading…

 

Google find Steven’s Facebook photo first… Industry moves afoot, dear Watson! My primary responsibilities will be writing reports, fielding client inquiries and delivering consulting engagements. In my research, I will write for interactive marketing professionals in particular as well as marketing and strategy decision makers in general. Research topics will range from the Australian interactive agency landscape through to the impact of social computing on marketing and business strategy. While based in Australia and focused primarily on this market, I will work as part of a global team that examines and compares trends across Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.

Last night: The Sun sinking into the Red Sea Just a quick post – last hour in the hotel here at Jeddah. Then heading to the airport – women aren’t meant to be travelling alone, so this could be interesting. I overnight in Dubai (should be at my hotel after 9 I guess) and leave first thing in the morning for the last leg home to Sydney. I will try to Twitter from my mobile phone but don’t worry if you don’t hear from me for a few days. Thanks to everyone who had taken such an interest in this Continue Reading…

 

Waiting to find out if my lost tickets to Saudi Arabia will resurface today or if the flight will be postponed til tomorrow. Apparently the reservation didn’t get ticketed, whatever that means. Dubai is riding into the rescue. I hope This was sent to me on December 2007, from Personalize Media Gary Hayes, so I guess I owe him one while I fill in time: The rules: 1- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.2 – People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.3 – Continue Reading…

 

Priscilla Brice Weller is a leading Web 2.0 evangelist in the Not For Profit Sector in Australia. I even copy her haircut. You don’t need to know that though. Leadership 2008 will be a very interesting year. I have been awarded a place on the Sydney Leadership program and am quite excited, dumbfounded and nervous about it. It will be a chance for me to find out more about how the real world works rather than taking a theoretical view of life from my computer Here’s a blurb about the program that inspired me to apply: Sydney Leadership will open Continue Reading…

 

Update: Michelle’s new site.My friend from Massey University in New Zealand is Michelle Mars. Today she was interviewed by Kate O’Toole at Triple J’s hack program about, of all things, designer vaginas. Have a listen to her recorded interview – it’s an intriguing phenomenon. If you’re a major fan of the Brazillian… you’ll wanna know about this! 2 academics at MASSEY University in New Zealand reckon that the designer vagina has inflitrated pop culture – so much so – that there’s not alot of room for full bush anymore. Are we really such sheep? It reminds me of Snow Crash Continue Reading…
