What is it? BusBuddy was an exercise in developing a Flash-lite based bus timetable application for my Nokia N95. The concept for BusBuddy came about from my need for an accurate timetable for bus and train services I used in my daily travel to work. What did it do? BusBuddy provided discrete bus and train […]
What is it? A scheduling app for students that operates on mobile devices. What does it do? The app can connect to existing student records/results services and display: Class/tutorial dates and times (Semester/Year) Assessment/assignment due dates (Semester/Year) Assessment/assignment completion status.

In Australia, mowing the lawn is the quintessential suburban experience. I actually don’t mind mowing the lawn. As a household chore mowing the lawn has potential for a bit of a creative twist. In the past I have attempted to create the Black Flag bar logo and a strange heart shape in an attempt to […]

My new field recording for ds106 radio. Sounds of Melbourne’s suburban train system. Listen to ds106 Field Recording 006 Metro Glen Waverly Line Location photos of my ds106 field recordings can be found over at my Flickr photostream.

I try to record the environment as succinctly and accurately as possible. I have recorded and shared the sound of my surroundings prior to ds106 radio, but I never provided […]
DS106 now has a streaming radio station! The radio station streams content uploaded by ds106 participants. Pretty cool. Inspired, I decided to make a few station IDs or Bumpers, or whatever you cal them in your jurisdiction. They’re something short and sharp that would hopefully shed a little light on exactly what the listener was […]
