Confused Mac and Yet-to-be-worn I’m A PC Shirt

The Big TakeoverThe global economic crisis isn’t about money – it’s about power. How Wall Street insiders are using the bailout to stage a revolution. by Matt Taibbi is a clear description of where the US Financial system finds itself. The first sentence of the article sums it nicely.
It is my strong opinion that more debt, more bad lending is a short term answer. Crawling out of the mud of the Great Recession will leave none clean and will not happen quickly.
After sending out a collection of "I’m a PC" T-shirts, the images are coming in:
Keep those photos flowing in. And yes, I do have a collection of more t-shirts 🙂
March 24th is international “Countess Ada Lovelace†day.
In light of this special world-wide event, I have a special in-studio guest: the smart industry icon (and a female) Kate Carruthers
Broadcasting at 8:30pm AEST, Tuesday 24th March 2009. There will be themed music on the stream from 7:30pm to get into the mood.
Keep this link handy: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/-undercam. A big thanks to another smart IT industry @dekrazee1 who has agreed to be my meta-backchannel producer.
Note: the above image is on the rear of Countess’ Lovelace’s calling card. This was left behind at a dinner party at Charles Babbage’s. From the Sydney Powerhouse Museum. Consider this video pre-work.
Thanks to all who watched this episode. Just like Stilgherrian Live in its alpha broadcasts, I am starting to get some central themes and sections for the show sorted out.
Largely ignoring the chat this time was easy thanks to the wonderful @dekrazee1; the meta-backchannel producer. Her role was to watch the chat, and forward on any questions, points or where technical glitches occurred through a special backchannel IM session.
My hobby is the study of history, so researching and talking history is fun. An intellectual challenge, keeping my non-geek synapses firing.
The flow of Episode 3
There is a need for a call-to-action somewhere; and deeper questions during the show. Or it might be just cool to leave it as-is so people can randomly chat about random stuff.
For next time:
It is great to see Adobe embrace 64-bit. And clearly point out why: lots of memory for those bit munging-intensive apps.
In a strange confluence of the digital universe, two of Australia’s leading internet thinkers: Stilgherrian (Stilgherrian Live) and Cameron Reilly (G’Day World Live); conducted live broadcasts last night.
The round out the seriousness, I broadcast and recorded my second “Stilgherrian’s Understudy” show
Some forwarning. I do swear. I do use technical words. Great music is included, and I do dis my present employer. And I have much to learn with this broadcasting caper; including getting thoughts out clearer. Almost scripted. Thanks to @stilgherrian for the inspiration.
Things for next time:
DM me at @nickhodge
Only 5. ALL GONE!!
Once received, I need a picture of you in said T-shirt – in a public place. Please be wearing more than the T-shirt supplied.
Fellow Australian DPE-ers, Chris Bright, Michael Kordahi and Greg Willis have been busy working on a micro- mega- project.
For the last 30 years, Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian community has paraded down Oxford Street. The Sydney Morning Herald has a library of images from the parade: and has used the Deep Zoom feature of Silverlight to display these images.
Michael Kordahi created the front-end (Silverlight) and Greg Willis architected the back-end (Azure)
Well done guys.
