I've got 1 free day down in melbourne today, any suggestions? #
Hahaha, I just remembered the http://www.tinyurl.com/atagwhichmakestheurlmuchlongerthanitreallyshouldbe link given at the OzCHI closing yesterday #
Sorry, make that – the http://tinyurl.com/atagwhichmakestheurlmuchlonger ref given at the OzCHI closing yesterday #

Most of his work is just gorgeous, bringing clarity and simplicity to what could otherwise be convoluted diagrams. Some of my favourites are the solar eclipse and the circular periodic table of [...]
Today I spent some time going through earlier posts, making small tweaks or edits to image sizes – bringing the site back up to date with the new theme (courtesy of subtraction.com). Something that came to mind during this was that I haven’t been using this site as a sketchpad or notebook as much [...]
I just came across Alex Bamford’s flickr images, via Russell Davies. His images are lovely, his light fight set is worth checking out. Take a look for yourself;
Lately I’ve been working my way through an academic requirement for all phd students at UTS, which involves submitting a progress reports on my work each and every semester. These reports are essentially a simple 4-page form but require an appended (also 4 page) report outlining what you set out to do, what you [...]

Lord of War, not so great. From Gattaca and The Truman Show to this? A smug Nic Cage is almost bearable, but I can only take so much! #
