The complexity of culture; a discussion on cultural osmosis. Part 2
In the years that have passed living here in Europe there was an inexorable motion that I’ve only recently become aware of, you start off as a foreigner and then end up something else, something in between.

The complexity of culture; a discussion on cultural osmosis. Part 1
I’ve been away home now around 13 years. It almost seems like another life time when I try to remember what it was like. Home for me was Brisbane, that nice big country town about two thirds of the way down the east coast of Australia. Lovely place really, but at the time it seemed [...]

Jericho the TV show, the end; and the beginning of the power of the digital consumer!
I’ve just finished watching the last episode of Jericho, which in actuality turned out to be only a measly eight shows for season two. If you’re a fan of 24, then this is definitely your style.

Very cool
Every now and then something comes along that really impresses the shit out of me. Through the wonders of technology I’m writing this on a ferry crossing to London.
