I’ve been quiet here. But as Ben says, silence in a blog means that there is a whole lot of shakin’ going on elsewhere. In my case, finally facing up to writing the actual words and (hopefully) sentences I’m going to be speaking at the CSAA conference on Thursday, making sure the digital storytelling workshop I’m coordinating when I get back is organised, and lots of admin crap that you don’t want to know about.

Oh, and if you’re in Brisbane tonight, come to this:

From Pioneers to Profit – the four pillars that underpin the Internet

Public Lecture by Kim Anderson, Chief Operating Officer, Southern Star Entertainment

Place: Kathleen Room, Staff Club, University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus

Time: 6-7.30pm

This free public lecture forms part of the Internet Class 04 3 day program convened by CCCS 6-8 December. Following the lecture, Ms Anderson will launch Gerard Goggin’s new book, Virtual Nation: The Internet in Australia, after which refreshments will be served.

Along with this of course has come a whole range of “virtuous displacement” activity, including working out how to: capture video footage on my mobile, transfer it without bluetooth to my PC (email), convert it to .avi format and edit it together in Adobe premiere. Why? Well, this is going to come in v. handy at the conference, where I’ll be making my very first mobumentary.

Stay tuned…
