Where (some of) my Uni fees are going
Saturday, June 7th, 2008What else am I to do when I’m in the city with time to use up between events than go to Uni and do some downloading of some of my favourite content distributed on the internet.
Most people would realise that this is content is coming down faster than I think any connection available to consumers [...]
CeBIT Au 2008 Preview
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008I’ve just got back from a quick preview of CeBIT AU for Bloggers. I took a couple of snaps before the show opened to the public. There was even a guy from Syron (Subliminal Media) sitting around playing games — which I can only imagine was something just to fill in time before he got [...]
Music Industry vs. The people of this generation
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Many people would have read about the Australian music industries propaganda video that essentially blames the illegal downloading of music for their decline in revenue and sales. If you didn’t it was covered widely in the media — probably in most depth by this Sydney Morning Herald article.
Thankfully, a couple of blokes have come up [...]
New idea: (near) Daily Photo
Friday, May 2nd, 2008So, it seems these days I have a lot of time to do things when I’m at work, but often by 5pm on a Friday afternoon, with still an hour to go, I’ve ran out of ideas. I thought I’d try and take a photo almost daily that best reflects my activities for the majority [...]
Yahoo! Live
Monday, February 18th, 2008Starting today, you can watch happenings of my life on Yahoo! Live at http://live.yahoo.com/jameskirsop. I’ll be broadcasting live (bandwidth permitting) from UTS Orientation/Clubs day this Wednesday, 20th Feb, so make sure you tune in to watch this social experiment.
Live (not to be confused with Microsoft’s Live service), seems pretty interesting - but isn’t really new. Other [...]
My technology week from hell
Thursday, January 31st, 2008So, usually I love technology. Usually I rant and rave about how it makes my life easier and how I’m able to do so many great things with technology that my friends just can’t understand.
Not this week.
Last weekend, I went back home for the Australia Day long weekend, which was fantastic — catching up with [...]
What Tech I got in 2007
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007I could have called this post What Tech I Purchased in 2007 but strangely enough, I didn’t purchase all that much. However, thanks to the job I got with Apple throughout the Spring semester, I was in receipt of a lot of products that I now get to keep, even though I am currently not [...]
Apple partners with Quiksilver for free iTunes
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Recently, in the TRACKS surfing magazine I was interested to find the following iTunes card bundled inside the front cover.
Previously, I’d only ever seen cards like these at the Back-to-Uni promotions that Apple runs at Uni Campuses around the country. Apple and Quiksilver created a unique partnership here where both companies gain exposure, but also [...]
Review: Windows Remote Desktop Client for Mac 2.0 (beta)
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007As many mac users would know (even though we hate to admit it) there are sometimes where we need to run a Windows based application. Most recently for me, this has been the application to submit my tax return to the government. For recent mac purchasers, this problem has been solved with solutions like Boot [...]
iLife and iWork ‘08 Preview
Thursday, August 9th, 2007I’m not going to say a lot about the new iLife and iWork yet, but it looks really awesome! It’s just another reason for anyone to switch from a PC to a Mac.
They seem to be pusing the new version of iPhoto quite a bit, from what I’ve seen and read, but I wont be [...]
