Talking about the aura of Microsoft

Cyberculture & Education 2010
Back into the blog swing of things – I plan to start noting links and ideas for the subject Cyberculture & Education (Semester 1, 2010).

Feeding the inner renaissance learner
I am savouring my birthday ipod (silver, nano) and just coming to grips with the rich range of tasty podcasts that are available.

My first subscriptions combined screenwriting interviews, history and grammar. Fantastic.
