Spent most of the ANZAC day public holiday on Monday working on a paper for the 2005 Wiki Symposium [7] in San Diego. My colleague, the soon-to-be Dr Sal Humphreys [8] has done much of the legwork for this paper which we'll be submitting before Friday; it details the use of wikis in my New Media Technologies unit [9] at QUT and discusses the overall frameworks for using wikis in teaching. I'll post it here once it's done.

This morning I was interviewed by a journalist from the Sydney Morning Herald [10], for a story on archiving Internet content. The folks at the National Library [11] put him on to me, following on from the Archiving Web Resources [12] conference last November, and we chatted about the purpose of archiving projects such as the International Internet Preservation Consortium [13]. The conversation also drifted into a discussion of blogs and their uses [14]. Look forward to seeing the finished article (some time next week, I think). Incidentally, now that the papal frenzy is over, the Ten kids' news interview [15] is back on again, too - probably tomorrow afternoon.

Finally today I received an email from one of my overseas students in the Coursework Masters degree - in addition to researching grassroots creativity for her project, Qiongli Wu [16] is also active in digital storytelling herself and did a nice piece [17] on her experience coming to QUT [18]. You don't hear us mentioned in the same breath as Chairman Mao very often...

Oh, and the book [19]'s arrived in New York. Should go to the printers this Friday!
