- Wow, an awesome day! Art, renovations, a gig, roller derby, coffee with several groups of awesome folk & then a martial arts show-n-tell 🙂 #
- Am at roller derby and Susie won a shirt in the raffle. Woot!!! #crdl http://t.co/08kXjnv #
- AWESOME! 🙂 I'm feeling it! RT @CRDLderby (CanberraRollerDerby) @piawaugh We're with you! It's going to be a fantastic night! #
- "Dual authenticity": we have lots of identities (geek, martial artist, muso, Aussie) that don't nec clash and we can maintain authentically #
- Waleed Aly spoke on a fascinating concept. "Dual authenticity": holding multiple diff identities (belief, country, interests) simultaneously #
- Aly: "the argument that welcoming multiculturalism leads to a separatist society has very little empirical evidence" #
- Aly: "multiculturalism has turned from an economic and jobs dialogue to a dialogue about fear and personal safety" #
- Aly: "The distinction between international and domestic are really breaking down." #
- Waleed Aly live from aph main ctte room now "Multiculturalism, Assimilation & Politics of Terrorism" http://t.co/sWyC4pa http://t.co/1g6zmUA #
- Just had to RT 🙂 @chatsbury: #ff flying the flag for gov 2.0 and a sweet tweeter – our taxes at work are well spent with @piawaugh #
- Interesting article, particularly the bit about "national service"… "Abbott’s new era of work for the proles" http://bit.ly/fvVX3W #
- Waleed Aly broadcast live from Parliamentary Library at 1215 "Multiculturalism, Assimilation & Politics of Terrorism" http://bit.ly/hSE4h4 #

- Just had confirmation at #opendata #oznetfreedom that data.gov is really closing as per http://t.co/I7KT4wi I wonder what new strategy is? #
- Currently hearing kudos from US folks on Australia being world leaders in designing ubiquitous high speed bandwidth #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- ? from JJJ "is tech working against need for secrecy". Answer: tech improves transparency but secrecy also necessary #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- Tunisia revolutionary: "I am not the leader, the network is the leader", sounds very similar to early geek culture #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- Interesting point, "social media makes weak ties stronger" #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- The US folk are taking about engagement vs updates but there is also a place for updates, see qld police with floods #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- Be interesting to see how US keeps open data up to data or avoids over classification (which avoids release). #opendata #oznetfreedom #
- Now talking on how #opendata is important for gov transparency, Obama has ordered all non-classified data be released #opengov #oznetfreedom #
- It's interesting hearing US gov staffers about how they see the internet as key to international diplomacy & freedom #opengov #oznetfreedom #
- Brilliant indeed, love it RT @GrogsGamut Brilliant RT @markatextor: Some pretty accurate analysis here http://twitpic.com/4f5vch #

- I'm amused at ppl who talk professionally on #socmed & online comms with awe & enthusiasm but miss the sig role of geek culture/philosophy #
- Katter also blamed all sides for privatising Telstra which he says led to issues of inequality of access in Australia. #
- Wow, Katter speaking in the House about nbn (I think) & berating turnbull for opposing replacement of unmaintained privatised network #
- Music thought: I'd love to see David Bowie do a cover of Hurt. The Johnny Cash version is awesome. I love "I'm afraid of Americans" 🙂 #
- Seriously @mpesce, I'm suggesting casting world as black/white doesn't actually help deal with life which is more complex. What's the prob? #
- .@reselsnark Heh, good point. Hi @GreatDismal, I'm writing an album of rock/industrial songs based around your work, if your interested 🙂 #
- Will soon sinish a mashup of some NIN instrumentals into a William Gibson inspired song, the first of hopefully a Gibson inspired album 🙂 #
