Like making old things new again. Enjoy working on a far away big tree/cow farm vs inner city digital stuff and with the NBN that's changing, creative lifestyles and digital content businesses. I have 4 degrees in psychology, media, literature, librarianship, management and business including a business PhD that explored how tech created opportunities in the music sector (as a lead indicator to other content sectors). Am fascinated by how people use digital stuff and emerging uses. Slow living, reject unreal or fast lifestyles, I like to know all about what I eat. Maintaining a professional hatred and boycott of Farcebook. Confused about whether to write in 1st or 3rd person on this site. Love animals and have always had them around - cows, horses, chooks, cats, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, budgies. Met lots of snakes too. Enjoy aesthetic immersion and favourite era is 1940-1959. Music obsessive not impartial to late nights watching bands. blah blah blah

the future of australian cities

am really enjoying the series this week on ABCTV 730 report.  Lays the groundwork for key debates of 2010: sustainability, aircon culture, high density vs suburban sprawl; farmers selling up to developers; the world will run out of soil in less than sixty years etc.

Please note the only energy I have used so far this summer has been to turn on a small hand fan once for 2 hours during that 45 degree day.  No air con, no fans etc.
