Well... I didn't talk about cats much at all. Me and my colleague Andy where representing Deepend and presented some of our work. The talk was very short, but a great experience.
Here are some crappy iPhone photos.

Adobe Refresh Conference
Today I got the opportunity to speak in front of a few hundred people at the Adobe ReFresh conference. I have no idea how a cat image ended up in my PowerPoint presentation.

International food feast
At Saturday lunch we went for Yam Cha, and Elisabet lost her Yam Cha virginity.
Elisabet wasn't bad for a first timer, she had chicken feet. Well... I think she agrees with me. It taste like chicken, but the texture is not that great. Gristle and slime.
In the evening we where organizing "international food day", everyone had to bring something from their home country. To name a few things, Snapper Thai green curry, Irish stew, Lebanese, Hummus, Japanese Onigiri Swedish semlor (As seen below, I am pretty impressed we managed to make them, mainly thanks to Elisabet) amongst many other things.
Chris Martin and Aron

Yoshimi (Who is sadly leaving Australia for Japan)

Last Friday night
After a few drinks me and my new temporary flatmate Elisabet went for some sushi.
37 degrees + blue cloudless sky turned into heavy rain later in the evening.

Last Friday
37 degrees of pure sunshine, it was damn hot. Luckily the the A\C in the new office does it's job realy well.
Noel and Angie came into the office bringing young Mika with them. Here you see Lucy holding him.
Erin at lunch
Mark, having lunch too
Our new watering hole "The Baresford" offers a pub menu without surprises.
Ben Beadman at lunch, I think he should change his name to Bead-Man, suitable for a He-Man intro theme cover version.
Friday meeting at work
The office bar section just got finished on Friday too
By the way I can just take you for a round tour.

Street art
Elisabet arrived today, staying at my place till she finds somewhere of her own.
To fight the jetlag we went to a new bar called "Name this bar", and there was a street art competition. 2 artists, one wall each. 90 minutes limit, only black and white.
Who let this guy in?

Yes this is it
Trop fest, the worlds largest shortfilm festival started in Sydney. Its coming up soon.
This is the trailer.
Please think further than Trop Fest, and further than just saying it is a sweet story. Think "What if"... if "What if" strikes you as plain naive and irrational, then... think "What if I did it anyway".
Sync this though with, "listen to everyone, follow no one" as well as "What makes me tick?", whats your conclusion? How often if ever does these thoughts pass your mind?

DorkBot at Serial space
Last Sunday when at Serial Space they told us DorkBot was taking place on Tuesday night.
I wasn't quite sure what it was all about. It was going to involve coding, fire and audio. It seemed like it was going to be some kind of performance, dangerously close to be a touch to arty for my liking. It was all free though, so I decided to go and have a look. I'm very glad I did.
An eager crowd thirsting for knowledge and inspiration had gathered to listen to 4 hands on presentations.
The first one was a collaboration between a Poet and a Computer programmer / engineer.
This was a beta testing and an explanation about what their work consist of and how it was made.
A poetry table. Which basically was a big screen where you could place wooden circles. The circles would be detected and attract a random poem to them. As you move the circle around the poem moves along. If you added another circle, another poem would appear. If 2 circles would be close to each other they would both start to react and interact.
The same duo had also made this wall piece. If you looked closely you could see a pattern of little dots. By touching sets of dots you would trigger sound clips of words from the poem. Letting you fingers slide over a row of dots would therefore result in hearing it being read out to you. The rows sometimes intersects. And at these points the story in the poem would change, and its up to you how the poem will end.
The second talk was about a guy who's job is to enhance and modify guitar pedals. It was the same guy who held the workshop last Sunday. He presented some of his work. And some of his stuff sounded amazing.
The third presenter was a guy who had modified a bike into a computer interface, and written a game to go with it.
Last but not least a sound engineer demonstrated how you to make sound waves visible using fire. (and Aphex Twin as test material)
