This is a seriously interesting presentation by John Maeda - he is a graphic designer and computer scientist who works to link design and technology. He's given me several interesting ideas to ponder, not least of which is non-eating uses for fast food. Here's his website too.via Aide-mémoire

Slattery IT are running an debate titled: "It’s a World Wide Web of Women!"

I've heard most of the speakers before and am looking forward to a lively discussion! AND we can have drinkies after (web, women and booze - always a dangerous combination!)As per Rachel Slattery's email "Australian women are doing a helluva lot in the wild world of the web. Women with initiative and spunk that redefine success with each wave of technology. And women that have fun while they are doing it. After an overwhelming response from the call to find extraordinary women of the web, Slattery IT has rounded up a bunch of truly inspirational women that have cast off gender stereotypes and limitations to go forth and conquer cyberspace! So come along for a fun exploration of business models and the new directions that women are forging for themselves - and to share a drink or two afterwards."Aide-mémoire

I spoke at the recent Ark Group Online Collaboration Conference Sydney (2007) - here is a link to my presentation on Slideshare The topic was Approaches to Online Collaboration - which made me think about the cultural, practical and philosophical issues involved in online collaboration in a business context. The more I thought about it the more it seemed to be about people and culture but not about the technology.via Aide-mémoire
