June 11 Latest EEL podcast outHERE In which we have a quick (and noisy) chat with Beth Kanter on her flying visit to OZ. The audio is dodgey 'cos we had to Skype out to her mobile in a noisy pub somewhere. Fang - Mike Seyfang June 03 Facebook app tricks my wife into spamming kids friends with PORNMy wife was somewhat bemused to have 'recieved a FaceBook message' from an old friend containing some relatively nasty porn. She was absolutely horrified to find that her attempt to 'delete the message' caused it to be 'sent' to young friends of our children. Turns out that the application 'Funwall' and slide.com were the tools used to create a rather virulent and unpleasant experience. Removing the application 'Funwall' from her Facebook seems to have cleaned things up for now. According to this google search there is quite a bit of discontent in the FaceBook developer camp around the root causes of this type of issue. Having just attended the 'Digital Education Revolution' seminar I am convinced that we need to be creative in educating our children to deal with the stuff that the web will throw at them. Sticking our head in the sand or expecting technology to make it go away or worse, trying to ban it just won't cut the mustard. Fang - Mike Seyfang Rick's first time lapse video from the workshopJust noticed that Rick has published a little video on TIG welding.
(FaceBook in my RSS reader got my attention)
Damn fine first effort, love the photography, music is cool but licensing a bit severe.

Watching #auremix Event thru Twitter and HashTagsNow this is an interesting update on my hobby of watching conferences that I cannot attend via the Web. Hashtags.org is an interesting site that aggregates twitter 'tweets' from users interested in a particular thing or event - via a simple hash tag. Here is an example of what todays Microsoft ReMix event in Sydney looks like:
UPDATE: http://twemes.com/auremix Does an even better job!! If you want to join the fun, follow hashtags in twitter the tag any related tweets with #auremix . http://hashtags.org/tag/auremix will give you a neat little summary AND an RSS feed you can subscribe to! Fang - Mike Seyfang May 08 Test post from ScribeFireJust setting up my ScribeFire account wizard - yet again. Username: mikese <the first part of my spaces.live url? Password: <that secret code in email publish options> May 03 another EEL podcast - Mark PesceThis week we have a chat with Mark Pesce, which is interesting because he spoke at an event in our home town of Adelaide, and we were kind of involved via Twitter. Take a listen. Fang - Mike Seyfang April 29 Latest eels podcast - laurel, steph and andrew Thanks to Dave's persistence our most recent episode of the extraordinary everydaylives show is up. This one provides some interesting insight to a world I know very little about (except the fear and ignorance the mainstream media would have me know). Lots of connections in this episode. Including one with Shel Israel (which is kind of ironic). Enjoy Fang - Mike Seyfang April 26 Letterbox bomb - help me track down cluesAnyone feel like playing detective? I'm guessing the pranksters who blew up my (second) letterbox wont be able to resist posting some form of pictures / audio / video. I'd love to find it and link to it here. I'm also curious to find out about other letterbox bombing activities out there - and what type of device did the deed to mine. HERE are some clues I have tracked down this arvo, would love any more hints / ideas / information. http://del.icio.us/mseyfang/letterbox Fang - Mike Seyfang April 11 Nick Parnell on 'Classical Vibes' tour April / May Get along to one of his shows, and buy the CD! Mandy and I will be at the Town Hall on Wed 23rd April if you would like to join us.  Fang - Mike Seyfang April 09 Adelaide Water - 3 months (up to July) to actHeard something scary and inspiring at a free public lecture on Climate Change last night. I'm hoping the talk will be podcast at the climate2030 site soon. Until then I'm paraphrasing (poorly from a feint memory with no notes).
So, when the talk is available online - get it, listen to it and start conversations. Fang - Mike Seyfang p.s. If you are interested in more detailed information you can subscribe to a regular 'water droplet' newsletter via email. April 08 Womadelaide 2008 PodcastsA little birdy just let me in on the best kept secret in town - there are podcasts from this year's womadelaide from radio adelaide. Most artists are covered - both interviews and 5-10 mins from their performance. They sound great (but the RSS aint quite the full deal - only first 10 items, lets see if we can help em fix that).

technorati tags:seyfang, mikeseyfang April 05 Latest eel podcast upFascinating chat with Biff from NAKED. A private (social) messaging platform enabling NAKED conversations with REAL Friends. Check it out - it will challenge your thinking on social networks.

first confronted by 'hour out meetings' in a large Microsoft Exchange
project. Each year I feel a little bit better as other people feel the pain. Annual updates like these are part of my therapy. This year I was delighted to discover the complex framework sitting behind this seemingly benign announcement from Microsoft. Important Announcement:Clicking there resulted in these buried treasures:
Fang - Mike Seyfang February 28 Night CartLast night I heard my mum and dad use the term 'night cart' for the first time (that I can recall). I know about 'long drops' (can recall the smell of one from a friend's beach shack). Bugger all in wikipedia, so a quick 'google' and here is what comes up: Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Night cart, a cart used to remove the contents of priviesnight cart In the days before flush toilets, the sanitary cans were emptied periodically by local council employees. Their conveyance was known euphemistically as a "night cart". Fang - Mike Seyfang February 14 Memories thanks to my father's flickrGot a real sense of history through my RSS reader this morning - my dad uploaded a shot of my second car to flickr. Wow, this brings back memories:  hereford Originally uploaded by fangsenior When I say second car, I mean the second vehicle that mum let me drive before I reached legal driving age. (The first was an earlier / smaller model Austin that I thrashed around the paddocks from age 8). This austin hereford was a well posh vehicle previously owned by grandpa Vic. It featured leather trim (can still smell it) and as mum would say 'way too much power'. Oh yes, and note the 'pre-teen bogan' modifications to Vic's pride-n-joy: - the bonnet hand painted black (to reduce glare) - the black strip at the top of the windscreen (with levis stickers) - the 'repco' sticker on the drivers quarter window (coolest sticker available back then) Fang - Mike Seyfang February 13 Sneak preview of next Octavio promotional videoCheck out Jacob's youtube for a peek at a draft of a possibly upcoming VAF Octavio promotional video. Look for the one called 'Music for 5 Octavios'. And I thought my thinking was 'out there'. Speaking of which, the photo above is Jacob getting his certificate of merit for year 12 music technology, presented by Leigh Warren who has done some pretty funky work with Philip Glass. Fang - Mike Seyfang Technorati Tags: vaf octavio February 09 Dave has posted episode 041 of our Extraordinary podcastThis week, Laurel was driving the show and introduced us to Ajay - who is doing cool stuff with geospatial technology for museums (and others) concerned with biodiversity. Fang - Mike Seyfang February 07 Sometimes KIDS amaze meCheck out the funky podcasts one of my kids and his mate have created as part of their christmas holiday work. mediablog.wholesalemeatenterprises.com Their creativity and sense of fun never ceases to amaze me.
