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

this obsession with formatopia

ban the term e-reader

just watched a video of analysts discussing the potential of tablets.  most referred to 'e-readers' - please take note, typically, PEOPLE DON'T JUST READ ANYMORE!! They scan, watch videos, photos and art, move their fingers all over the screen, click click, post, interact, link.  Yes sometimes they like to read a book linearly, from p.1 to the end, but also read in many other ways more often.

OK so i'm being a little extreme, but anyone thinking they can just take text and shove it on a new device is going to fail.
