On Reducing the cost of Freedom of Information requests
I saw last week a great example of using web based technology and the 'push' model to save resources and thus money in State government in one specific, yet common, scenario.
On Communicating Mind Boggling Stats
I'm a sucker for statistics. Especially BIG statistics. Especially when related to things I'm passionate about.
I know many of you will have seen the Social Media Revolution and Did You Know? videos before. I was at a conference last week where the former was used to great effect in a presentationon the use of social media tools in government.
But some of you won't have. So I present them here partly for those new to them and partly cos I wanted to listen to Fat Boy Slim just One More Time!
On Hans Rosling – the Master Storyteller
This week, TED released the sixth TED Talk given by Rosling. (My admiration of TED is probably even more well known). In this presentation Rosling uses what he amusingly terms 'Analogue' presentation techniques (TED terms it 'colorful new data display technology'!) to tell the main part of his story - a technique well known to Sunday School or Primary School teachers desperately trying to keep children entertained and in the process hopefully provide them with some visuals to remember an important truth.
On the Leadership Spill – As Predicted ;)
I’m watching as history is being made in Australia – a leadership spill will this morning install Australia’s first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Nice timing for me as I used the following slide in a presentation earlier this week – before any talk of a spill. Interesting to see the uproar about a ‘Prime [...]
On Beginning to Engage
It was a surprise yesterday to see the response of the Australian Federal Government to the report produced by the Government 2.0 Taskforce (released in December 2009). A surprise not because it wasn’t expected but because of the delay in producing it and, for me, the brevity of it’s response. That’s not necessarily a bad [...]
On Making and Using Screencasts
I make a lot of screencasts, both for use in presentations where it is impractical to have a live demo, as an educational tool to introduce new concepts or technologies, and for use on websites as promotional material. Thankfully, being a Mac user I have some awesome software that helps me do a great job. [...]

On TED – The Future of Conferences
I attend a lot of conferences. As a speaker, sometimes as a representative of a vendor out in the exhibition hall, and often as a delegate. In all honesty, I’m over it. Or rather, I’m over the big vendor sponsored, Conference Company organised, “same old, same old” conferences. So what got me out of bed [...]

On Idea Platforms – Now What?
There’s a marvelous scene at the end of the movie Finding Nemo. The fishes in the fishtank at P.Sherman’s dental surgery have, for the whole film, been devising a way to escape into Sydney Harbour and to freedom. In the final scene, and as a result of the tank filter failing, the fish have been [...]
