Guest post by Cameron McGrane (FB | T) DISCLAIMER: I have no formal medical training. I’ve read a couple of blogs, watched a few videos and listened to “Born to Run“. I did trawl google on “Barefoot” and “Flat Feet” that only returned contrary views. This post is based on trial and error with references [...]
In about two weeks, Melbourne will play host to the first Trampoline event on the planet with 100 minds coming together for a day to share what they find amazing. In the tradition of BarCamps and other Unconferences, the agenda for the day will be created by the participants. Pat has already talked about Trampoline on [...]
Just a quick one from me today, to let you all know about the amazing project which is starting on Thursday. If you’re in Melbourne, feel free to come on down and have a look around the new Donkey Wheel building. The details are as follows. Time: 4pm-7pm When: Thursday, 18th of December, 2008. Where: [...]
I got very excited this morning when I stumbled upon this little beauty whilst reviewing my RSS feeds. The concept is the Blog Action Day, and it’s happening again this year on October the 15th.

I highly recommend checking out this article, in last months Fast Company. It captures some really amazing possibilities around car emissions and the future of auto-construction. Even the ‘Govenator’ is on it!
Okay – if you have been reading this blog you’ll know that I am trying to live the Brand Me life. I started this blog mainly to try to capture my portfolio of projects going on, how I was juggling the opportunities presenting themselves in each one, and to start conversations with other who were [...]
Check out this post this morning from the folks at Dopplr. I’m not cool enough to be invited to anything like this, and to be honest, I am no global traveler (would like to be, but still working on it). I am more interested in seeing what the marketing/PR potential is for a Web 2.0 [...]
I thought I might open this one up…I had an email from Ross (so far, commenter #1!) outlining that whilst the thinkfree.com site was alright, Scribd might be a better and more social, web2.0 option for sharing docs. Looking at their site, they seem to have better intentions, namely creating the worlds largest open source [...]
