App My State

I submitted an idea for the App My State comp which was officially announced Friday.

You can submit apps or ideas.

This comp also differs from Mashup Australia and Apps4nsw because it's not a mashup comp...you don't even need to use a dataset, you just need to build or suggest an application.

If you would like to see my idea: Pick & Mix Vic Data you can visit the App My State ideas entry page located here.

Happy Innovating!

2010

I love this video from TED 2010.
Before I watched it I read that the audience had drew gasps!
I was excited and I thought maybe it would be something related to imagery or interactivity of placemarkers...but I was really suprised when I saw that it was related to video and in particular web cams! :D We were just speaking the other day saying that web cams really haven't peaked yet... this awesome demo shows how you can interact with a map in real time! :D
I think that is such a fantastic space to be working in:

Ideas for this
# Ask a store assistant questions
#Visit a library
# Internet tours
# Participate in a gym session
# Basically anything you do in real life would be able to happen through bing maps..that's pretty amazing and the technology already exists..wow! :D

Love augmented reality!

Mashups

Recently submitted a mashup for the mashupaustralia.org competition.
It's a really fantastic initiative to open up public data and encourage the public to create useful websites and mobile phone applications for the general public.

USA was awesome

Had a fantastic time!!

The adobe MAX conference was super fun!
It was really great to meet people from all over the world who are passionate about technology.
We sat next to one guy from Disney and another guy who has his own web app company with employees across the USA. They use a lot of Skype to get their work done and he said it's great because he has some of the most talented people working with him.

Totally loved New York, LA and Vegas. We even went through Salt Lake City and Chicago on the plane. Pretty neat to see so much different stuff.

We recorded heaps of video footage and took tons of photos! :D
I was really inspired by all the fantastic museums and galleries we visited.
Also by the amazing scenery. The Las Vegas mountains and New York's Central Park were a highlight.

Also bought some really great cookbooks for cake decorating!
Hoping to make some amazing cupcakes!

Work wise have been playing around with more web design and flash. Have been looking into Silverlight as well, in conjunction with Sharepoint/Sharepoint Designer. Starting to make a few demo sites to showcase things that I create.

Doing a lot of reading like usual, watching a lot of Ted Videos and doing some MIT free courses.
