When politics needs influencing who you gonna call?

While the ultimate decision on who gets to govern Australia is still being made, the results are being measured on how digital / online activity had an impact on both Politicians and Voters. There are of course many ‘hustings’ online that relevant candidates had to consider, each with its own merits and bad points, each [...]

Are you listening, politicians? I didn’t think so!

There is a lot of talk about this election campaign and the fact it hasn’t been much of a ‘social election’, meaning the lack of Social Media involvement. Ever since the Barack Obama campaign team leapt whole heartedly into using social media and other forms of digital communications to promote issues, communicate and raise funds [...]

Welcome to the Lucky Country

Warning this post has an extreme overuse of bad clichés It has dawned on me that we have turned our back on our entire culture. The radios and TV channels are full of it, the newspapers covered in it. Apparently we are overrun with a plague of asylum seekers that threatens our very existence. Like [...]

How’s the iPad going?

4 weeks into my iPad ownership i felt it worth a quick review on how I am finding it. Firstly I am not a Mac fanboy. I do like my iPhone but am a long term PC user, and frankly have no need or reason to change that. Not sure if that makes me more [...]

sweet and sour
While on the annual holiday this year camping at the beach we met some great people from western Queensland, out in the wild dry west where life works in completely different ways. I love the people you meet in any form of camping, and the things you learn about how other people live that help...
