What did you do this weekend? Ozan, Rob, (and Scott from home!), Jezza, and I spent our weekend hacking at the Open Australia Hackfest - “Mashup Australia” edition. We’ll be making the finishing touches over the next week ready to enter into the Government 2.0 Taskforce Mashup Australia competition.
The aim of the competition is to show what we can do with government data, whether it’s a visualisation, and application, or improving data sets so that they are in a better format for others to reuse.
We want more openness and transparency government, open data is a nice step in that direction.

Researchers seek UK 'soundscapes' (BBC tech)

A project has launched to capture the sounds of UK locations, mapping them to create “soundscapes” that can be visited by users of the project’s site.

Participants are asked to record 5 - 10 second intervals of sound using their mobile phones, describing where and why they took the recording.

<— I think this is awesome. What sounds would you make? ;)

Web Directions & Typographic Structure

Mark Boulton’s write up on his Web Directions South (#wds09) presentation on Typographic Structure. One of the best things I got out of his talk was his Typographic Design diagram, which as he understands it involves 9 elements: Language, Typesetting, Grid, Hierarchy, Font, Rhythm, Layout, Colour, and Content.

I got my lemon tree! I’ve been wanting to get one for a few weeks, ever since the idea popped into my head whilst thinking about the fact that we have 2 north facing balconies in our apartment and that really they should be put to better use. On Saturday I had a bit of a panic when a green bug appeared on my tree, thanks to some googling and tweets, too my horror I discovered it’s something called a stink bug!

…Well the stink bug has since been vacated from the tree, and yesterday whilst doing a “bug check” I found that the first flower had opened up and I got a bit excited and took a few photos :)
