Faggot Tweet: Sponsors Speak

Since removing her swimming cap to reveal a ‘marketable face’ and winning three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Stephanie Rice has been the golden girl of Australian swimming. Her success in the pool launching her (willingly or not) into the stratosphere of the modern Australian sporting icon. A proven performer, Rice has a…

New media in play: The Old Boys Rugby Choir

Last Saturday night, Australia’s modern-day swagman, John Williamson, was accompanied by a group of 35+ well-meaning ex-rugby players to sing the national anthem prior to the Australia v New Zealand Tri Nations test match in Sydney. Calling themselves The Old Boys Rugby Choir, they unashamedly earned their stripes to sing their (tone deaf) hearts out…

Dinner talk – social media

>I had forgotten how interesting (and by that I mean random) dinner party conversations can be. Last night, I sat next to a lovely couple at a dinner and after introductions settled into a discussion about the pros and cons of social media. And dare I say it, but I think I discovered one of…

Why football wants to ban Twittering…

> Over in the UK, Leicester rugby boss Cockerill did it earlier this month and back here in the colony, the NRL’s Penrith Panthers recently had to defend themselves against having done it. So what is IT? And why is IT such a big deal? IT is social media: sites like twitter.com and facebook.com.If you’re a marketer,…

Academic Crush #1: Clay Shirky

Everywhere I go at the moment, I keep bumping into Clay Shirky. The man who could well be Tom Hanks’ long lost twin (close your eyes and listen, you’ll see what I mean) is arguably one of the most engaging new media theorists of our day. A real social media expert, who doesn’t use the…

The internet, HTML: a Western invention?

In discussing Jacques Derrida’s theories on the process and impact of writing on texts, in the greater debate of textuality, I couldn’t help but be drawn into thoughts on production and consumption, more specifically, the production of the internet and the world wide web as western technologies. Chinese students generously sharing and taking the time…

Write, don’t just think

My brain travels at a thousand miles an hour. It always has. I read constantly, yet, writing critically is proving a lot more difficult than I think it should. I’ve decided to stop reading (momentarily) and see where that leads me…so far, so good :)

Dissertation: the process of not knowing enough yet…

Settling back into the adult world from academia is a process. Keeping a foothold in both the professional and the academic is a privilege, a pleasure (and an all consuming pain) I would recommend. Now that new specs enable faster, more fluid consumption of texts, the momentum of my research and processing of inter-related concepts,…
