Watch the video
the drive to Canberra to see Tab & Andrew while she's pregnant. shaky footage as I was driving! I took a couple of the brown signed tourist drives and ended up on a 75 km unsealed dirt mountain track on the way to Wombeyan Caves. I had to beep the horn going round the blind corners and the tyres were sliding a bit some of the time so it was a bit scary. it took me a couple of hours as I was driving so slowly! luckily I didn't come across too many cars coming the other way. finally I made it to the bottom of the hill where the park is leading to the Caves. by this time it was 3:30pm and I thought I might have to do another 75k to get back to the highway, so I didn't actually make it to the caves - the shortest trip was a 1.5 hr guided walk which involved climbing inside the caves also. I did get to see lots of kangaroos though and the park was a nice oasis after the hairy drive through the mountains. luckily there was a 5 km road with about 1 km unsealed, but easier gradient road leading out of the park heading towards Golburn / Canberra, so the trip back was much quicker and safer! great to see Tab & Andrew before they have the baby, so it was worth the trip!!! ]]>

TBA explores sonic city spaces through a gestural interface. In the current sociological climate, the city can be an alienating yet sonically rich space. Individuals potentially relate more closely to the city, the buildings and architecture than they do to the other inhabitants. However, the city is an ever-changing environment demolishing buildings, resurrecting monuments simultaneous moments of destruction and resurrection. Using footage of Newcastle as well as abstract and generative 3D systems, elements are combined and manipulated in real time using custom built applications developed with Quartz Composer and Max/MSP. ]]>

"I wake to the burble of an electronic voice"
by Lynette Chiang, Author
Wednesday, August 6, 2003 Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00pm
Room N101, CSIT Building, North Road
How does a graduate of Computer Science at the ANU come to be writing about
Cuba from the seat of a folding bicycle? Lynette will talk about how she
went from learning IT on the ANU's DEC-10, through being an "Oracle
oracle", to marketer and author. She will show photos from, and talk about,
her new book "The Handsomest Man in Cuba":
"Jose and Kenia are already up and puttering about. He explains that, as a
surgeon, he has performed many operations for foreigners living in Cuba,
and to express their gratitude a group of them has banded together and
bought him a personal computer. He can't access the internet, nor does it
have much software, but it does tell the time in a most optimistic manner.
One day, they will have Internet."
Biography:
The great-grand-daughter of one of the first Chinese gold prospectors in
Australia, Lynette Chiang comes from a long line of adventurers. The former
creative director of Saatchi and Saatchi Advertising in Costa Rica and
winner of a coveted Bronze Lion at Cannes, she left the highflying world of
advertising to live in a cabin in the Costa Rican cloudforests with a view
across to the Mountain of the Dead.
Lynette is now at a small Oregon company that custom built the bike she
took to Cuba. Having bicycled alone for 6 years throughout Great Britain,
Central America, up and down volcanoes and from one end of Cuba to the
other, Lynette is already a legend in the world of solo cycle touring.

This announcement:
This is a free talk. No need to RSVP. The Computer Science and Information
Technology (CSIT) Building is on North Road (across from the sports
centre):
ps: It happened that Lynette and I shared an interest in folding bicycles
and IT, so I invited her to
give this talk. All welcome.
