Kate's Blog

back to blog

Well, I fell out of the blogsphere for a while there, but I'm back.

Here's what I've been doing:

Looking at web 2.0 (and CE 2.0) and how it will affect how we work both within Sun and with Sun Partners in future. Take a look at Peter Reiser's blog for more on this.

Reading "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" by Daniel H Wilson - now I've managed to get it back from my 7 year old son, who really should have better things to do. Daniel is a PhD candidate at CMU, according to the back of the book, and this guide is one of the better examples of PhD procrastination I've seen (as well as a serious introduction to robotics). Way to go, Daniel! And no, I won't be sharing tips the procrastination techniques I used while completing my PhD.

We went to see TEZUKA: The Marvel of Manga at the Art Gallery of NSW last weekend. It was great, and both my sons loved it (as did their parents). The exhibit does have some adult manga , so be warned if you are concerned about taking your children to it. It's interesting to contemplate whether manga could have developed anywhere other than Japan. It is far more complex than the Superman comics I used to borrow from my cousins when I was a child. The exhibit closes in Sydney soon, but it will travel to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco in June.

I bought a new bicycle, to replace one that we foolishly allowed to rust out after our second child was born and we were faced with the reality of trying to transport two young children on bicycles in a city. More about the bicycle another time.
