Read about some of the work @ianfpollock.bsky.social accomplished during our time as colleagues at Paper Giant. Great to have a scholarly take on the boiler room of consulting outputs.
And my own presentation from #AusSTS2024, which obviously I couldn't do live updates for: "Mapping the borders of imagination: the work of technical objects in design research"

Attending the Vic Premier's Design Awards last night, and as always was blown away by the quality of the work we produce here. Highlight was VolDrive, a kinetic energy harvester powering internet of things devices (and saving tonnes of batteries): premiersdesignawards.vic.gov.au/entries/2024...

Good news, but also says “rebounding agriculture and transport emissions, in particular, are cancelling out reductions in the power sector”
#Renewables growth from 2015-2025 is on track to cut Australia’s electricity sector emissions by nearly 40% in a decade, equivalent to emissions from all the nation’s cars, commercial vehicles and planes

I’ve had a bit of time to tinker with coding again recently (I was a webdev circa 2004), and my most common LLM chat is like: “hey, so tell me what’s happened with RSS in the last 10 years!” and I am absolutely giddy with delight around how useful these things are.

This is such ridiculous policy.
So YouTube will be banned for under 16s but Snapchat allowed because it is a messaging service

I’m late to this platform, but it already feels nicer (less algorithm’d) than the other places. Quite nice having a blank slate social graph too. Hello 👋
