Second semester is about to snap into action and I'm not feeling terribly prepared. Feeling a bit soft and squishy - overly relaxed, sun-drunk and vague... just spent three most enjoyable weeks Spain - along with everything else, took lots of holiday snaps, home video and audio recordings and made a series of slap-dash one minute films... good to remind myself that making media can just be about having fun.But it's also about work - and that's what I've come back to.
Righto - so the landscape has changed a little... my gig as online producer for ABC Radio National's music unit finished up at the end of June - it was quite an amazing opportunity to step into shoes that had never been worn and be the first one to scuff and mark them... had lots of ideas, learnt a huge amount and did some good work - though perhaps thought too much as I didn't end up making as much tangible stuff as I would have liked to.
This semester I'm intending to spend a bit of time with my postgraduate project (which languished a bit last semester - squeezed, as it was, between two intense and demanding .5 jobs) . On the teaching front I'm coordinating Broadcast Media and running my third year Radio Active Space studio (aka PP2)... and I've got my number one honours student to supervise - Johnathon Hutchinson (whom I expect great things of).
So that's me in a nutshell, or an egg-shell - or rather, what's called an egg chair.

big things you say!! here they come then.....
and am i your number one honors student because i'm your only honors student? it's kind of like not coming last in a solo race.
will you post any of the photos of spain? i was there in may/june of 2000
Aw, that's a bit harsh Jonathon! - you know I think you are an excellent student to work with and that your project is really exciting... wouldn't have accepted the supervision if I thought otherwise
