Does putting an "e" or "i" in front of something make you want it or fear it??

When I was at University studying media at a lefty institution, Marshall McLuhan was the man. He's the one who said of mass media that "the medium is the message" and that "sport is the opiate of the masses". In Learning and Development, i think that the huge trend towards the use of eLearning instead of classroom training could easily be viewed as the medium overtaking the message.

People who know me well may be shocked to hear the the following statement has been uttered, yelled and written by me on numerous occasions lately: technology for the sake of technology benefits no one.

I'm a gadget junkie from way back. I should have been born in Japan. Remember minidisc players?

now touring

After months in a secret studio in our nation's capital, we're finally taking this show on the road. I think the lucky and limited audience will be impressed, or at least awake, and I hope Canberra falls off the face of the earth whilst I am away so I don't have to go back.

Here's our itinerary, but don't expect to be able to attend, tickets are limited, or they were to start with, but it now seems that almost anyone who wants time off work is allowed to come along (public servants are given first preference).

Tour dates below:

Adelaide - Edinburgh Barracks
2nd September - for one week only

Melbourne - Victoria Barracks and Laverton
7th September - three week residency

Hobart - Anglesea Barracks
1st October - two weeks

Melbourne
12th October - two week repeat performance

Canberra - Brindabella Park and Northbourne House
21st October - I must have been bad in a former life

Melbourne
26th October - Unless I'm bad again I could be in Melbourne indefinately after this.
