OpenAustralia HackFest 2009
I had the pleasure of attending the first collaborative volunteer get-together for OpenAustralia, an open source website project which provides a view on the record of debate in Australian Parliament. The nice people at Google in Sydney provided us with a great space to meet, discuss and experiment. Kudos to them.

Notable: Millennium Actress
An animated film released in the US in 2001. No armored exoskeletons or post-nuclear Neo-Tokyo here; rather a story of the life and love of a reclusive movie actress, presented quite cleverly with great visuals. If you like Studio Ghibli’s output this is probably of interest to you.

Foreign Affairs
http://www.foreignaffairs.org/ Good stuff from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The periodical is highly recommended. Armchair economists of the world unite!

http://www.futurepinball.com/ I miss the old days of pinball machines. There’s something visceral about them that got lost when everything went to video.
