Even though I've been busy that doesn;t mean that my work has stopped cropping up on the Intertubes. Here's a smattering of stories that have appeared around the traps.

The Age and Sydney Morning Herald
This is one of favourite stories: Computer dream sees light of day

I've also had stories appear in the latest issues of APC, Australian Macworld and AusCam but for those you'll need to hit the nearest newsstand.

Earlier this week, I was invited to give a talk on Twitter to a group of journalists in Melbourne. Although the crowd wasn't huge, they were enthusiastic. We met in the backroom of the funky Softbelly bar in Melbourne. One of the great benefits for me, as someone who mainly works in tech, was to mingle and learn from travel writers, health writers, novelists and lots of other cool people.

I've put my slides up on Slideshare. You can view them from here.

In addition, I've prepared some notes that flesh out some of the material on the slides. Please note that the linked PDF file is 8.2MB.

I can't believe that it's been over a month since I last posted anything. I can't recall the last time I didn;t have something to say for so long!

In any case, i've got quite a few things to share so I'll post a few things over the next or two by way of catch-up.
