If you’re like me, then while everyone was talking about hypertext over the last few years you were envisaging someone writing super fast. This, is not the case. I know, stop applauding. I am ahead of the times and have the easy to understand definition to the phenomenon that is hypertext, taking the web by […]
How acceptable is it to lie in order to get what you want? Many individuals working in the media industry find it appropriate to mislead people/lie in order to gain information. This is done by journalists, PR liaisons and many other areas. Is it ethically acceptable to deceive others, if there’s no guarantee that there […]
I recently started watching a new tv show. It’s called Orange is the new black. Love it. Most of the people in my life know that I have an addictive personality; tv shows, book series’ and especially, chicken crimpy shapes. It’s the main reason as to why I’ve never gambled, but it is, unfortunately, a […]
The concept of an ‘un-lecture’ doesn’t leave me wanting more. I pat RMIT on the back for taking an alternative stance on teaching. I say ‘good on you, sir,’ to my lecturer who doesn’t label the structure he builds, but leaves it for us to determine it’s place. Perhaps just by posting this, it has […]

Bruce Sterling has won a Hugo Award for his science-fiction writing. In an interview by an online journalist he discusses the fascinating concept of design fiction. The best example given of this, is in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the whole ship is controlled by a tablet like creation, almost exactly that of the modern day […]
Globalisation and social media is punching you in the face. You may not have actually felt it, but it’s happening. Everything that happens online today is immediate and final, like accidentally using a permanent marker on a white board. As soon as it’s uploaded onto the internet, that’s it. See you later privacy, it’s up […]
My favourite Melbourne restaurant is an Indian spot on Sydney Rd. They’re friendly, super cheap, delicious, and even though they recently changed their butter chicken recipe I’m a loyal take away consumer. Recently, I’ve given up lactose for health purposes (it’s a huge fad to have some sort of intolerance these days, but mine […]
