I watched some Billy Connolly today. He is a genius. As it turns out, it’s a brilliant warm up to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which starts in a few short days (well, they’re longer in Scotland right now, but you get my meaning). So if you love comedy, and lets face it, who doesn’t, then there [...] - The Gadget Show #55: Will Pate from Flock (13mb)

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 11:56:21 +0000
Clay, of Minti fame, suggested the other day that I attend Supernova and Gnomedex in a couple of weeks. It wasn’t a simple decision, because I’m in the middle of bootstrapping a startup with Presence Labs, and every dime counts.

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:22:07 +0000
My latest book, How to Use Flickr: The Digital Photography Revolution, is now available on Amazon. The funny thing is, and a repercussion of being on the other side of the planet to my publisher, there’s a good chance a bunch of people will receive a copy before I do. Looking for a unique and [...] - The Gadget Show #45: ETech Wrap-Up (8mb)
Thu, 09 Mar 2006 23:27:17 +0000

The Gadget Show #044 (MP3 ? 22.4MB ? 64min 55sec) LISTEN HERE Today’s show is long. Perhaps to do with the lack of shows that I’ve recorded with Cameron on G’Day World, or perhaps because I wanted to cram in a few segments before I headed to ETech.

It’s a pre-announce because I [...] - Big Money Buys Big Music Hits
Fri, 10 Feb 2006 08:13:23 +0000
This is why podcasting is important. “This is potentially the most widespread and flagrant violation of FCC rules in the history of American broadcasting,” Adelstein said. “We’ve never seen evidence of such a systematic betrayal of the responsibility of broadcasters.” Payola ? or pay-for-play ? is a practice seemingly as old as the recording industry itself. In [...] - The Gadget Show #39: Tara Hunt (16mb)

Sun, 29 Jan 2006 01:59:25 +0000
Simon Phipps has a great article on DRM. It’s worth a read. If people are wondering why people such as Simon, Cory, and myself keep harping on about DRM, then you should consider its impact on gadgets. What major corporations are trying to do is restrict how you use the products you buy. Think Sony’s use [...] - The Gadget Show #35: The Best Australian Podcast and Tech Blog Show (6mb)

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 08:26:09 +0000
I was amazed, as were many others, when Cory Doctorow announced that he was leaving the EFF. Not that I blame him, I could never figure out how he fit in his work, blogging, writing, podcasting, and travelling; he must have sacrificed something to accomplish it all. However, I can say I’m already reaping the benefits. [...] - Australian Blog Awards Open For Voting
Tue, 17 Jan 2006 08:15:19 +0000
Being slightly slow on the uptake (writing books really does suck up the time), I’ve just noticed that The 2006 Australian Blog Awards has opened their ballots. I’m not usually one to ask for votes, but that’s never seemed to get me anywhere. So, I’d love it if visitors would spend a few minutes voting in [...] - The First Draft Of My Flickr Book

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 08:07:42 +0000
My wife IM’ed me today. She told me that The Gadget Show has been nominated for a couple of categories in the 2006 Australian Blog Awards. That’s a surprise, and an honor. The blog is amongst a very distinguished crowd in the Best West Australian Blog and Best Australian Tech Blog. There are some amazing names [...] - Second Life

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 02:31:35 +0000
I’ve been waiting for Chandler for what seems like years, so I’m surprised I didn’t hear about this last month. Actually, I’m not surprised at all, given the workload of my Flickr book and my trip to Surfers Paradise. Chandler, an “interpersonal information manager that adapts to your changing needs” launched its first usable revision. Currently it [...] - ETech 2006
Thu, 12 Jan 2006 21:45:47 +0000
Last year I promised myself that I’d go to O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference. It looks to be an amazing event, one that I could see myself sitting in every session, and networking like mad. This year, with my new ventures, it actually made more sense than ever to go. The clincher came when I heard someone [...] - Last Day At Sun
Thu, 12 Jan 2006 21:09:01 +0000
Today is my last day as an employee of Sun Microsystems. I’ve been here for 9 years. That’s not an easy thing to say. It only really starts to hit home when you email friends and colleagues throughout the Sun community and let them know. My email said that there was “a touch of sadness” about the [...] - Google Daylight

Check out this animated map from Google Labs. It’s referenced in a paper, showing showing how the distribution of requests to google.com around the world changed through the day on August 14, 2003.

Well, I finally made it through 2005; one of the toughest, yet rewarding years of my life. Although it still feels like I have a little bit more to do, just hanging on to the end of last year.

My family and I have made the next move in our Christmas holiday. We drove up from Surfers Paradise this morning, dropped my Mum at the airport, and swung in to Brisbane. We’re staying at a friends house, who happens to be visting Perth, while we check out the region. Fortunately my friends have broadband, and [...] - Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas gadget lovers. Hopefully you all got the “toys” you wanted. I’m busy enjoying my Christmas at the beach. Catch you all on my return to Perth in a week. - Interview with Richard Giles
Wed, 14 Dec 2005 04:07:52 +0000
A couple of weeks ago I did an interview with a nice and very intelligent fellow in Canada called Stephen Ibaraki. It was very enjoyable, mainly because the questions gave me some wonderful scope in talking about technology and its future, which is my main passion, and can keep me talking for hours. If you’d [...] - Where?s That Gadget Guy?
Tue, 13 Dec 2005 11:45:55 +0000
The holiday festivities begin early for my family. We’re off to the Gold Coast, in Queensland, on Thursday. Which means I’ll have very limited network access; according to the hotel they have dialup (what the hell happened to broadband?). So, from me to you and your families, have a very merry festive season, and I’ll catch [...] - Dean Gray Tuesday

Sun, 11 Dec 2005 15:14:46 +0000
Google Earth, for Mac, has been leaked onto the Internet. I’m currently writing a chapter for my Flickr book that includes geotagging. So I have to say, this rocks. I now have a real cool method of locating latitude and longitude data for my Flickr tags. Unfortunately the application has been pulled from Macupdate. Interesting thought: is this [...] - Lighnet Lens at Squidoo

Thu, 08 Dec 2005 06:51:31 +0000
I love new memes. This one happens to be close to my heart, because we’re all in the middle of it. Lucas Gonze is propagating a new term: lightnet. The concept is something I, and the other that are now part of The Podcast Network, have been riffing about for years, but this gives it an [...]
