		<description><![CDATA[Overnight (Australian time) Yahoo! announced a design revamp of their tried and true photo sharing platform, Flickr. One of the oldest photo social networks—and certainly one of the most well known—the Flickr brand still commands a high level of respect but with the emergence of more agile photo services like Instagram the platform had begun to lose ground. While a new design, new storage, new apps and new Pro options are nice, it&#8217;s the 1 terrabyte of free storage per user that will return Flickr to its golden age. A simple and cunning plan: lure people back with the combo of lots of space to host full resolution photos and a new design that&#8217;s up with current trends. The new flickr.com has massively increased the size of photos;&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may not seem like not that long ago I was announcing I was leaving Creative Commons Australia to start at the Australia Council for the Arts. That&#8217;s because it wasn&#8217;t. Not even two years in fact. But today I am announcing that I will be leaving the Australia Council (I finish up in three weeks). My decision to move on is not a reflection on Council or the important work it does for the arts and cultural sectors, it&#8217;s just time for me to get out and do other things. In my time as Council&#8217;s Digital Content Officer, the Marketing and Audience Development team (yes, the MAD team!) have achieved a lot of rad things. Probably most significantly, we repositioning the Australia Council as a&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That noisy person talking loudly on their mobile phone on the bus might be annoying for everyone else on the trip, but in the not-too-distant future their chatter will be part of the cumulative big data that will help urban planners decide where transport routes should go. By mapping mobility data—the coarse geospatial information generated as your mobile phone connects to or is transferred between radio towers—infrastructure planners can create a picture of how people move about an area and modify service delivery accordingly. While we haven&#8217;t seeing this kind of responsive planning design in local government town planning offices just yet (that I am award of anyway), the potential was demonstrated in AllAboard, an entry by the IBM Smarter Cities Technology Centre at IBM&#8217;s research lab&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 4 April Facebook announced Facebook Home,  a Facebook-focused skin for existing Android devices. The biggest thing to realise is that it is not a new operating system but rather a new UI that wraps over the top of the existing Android OS on a device to replace the native home screen. While launchers are nothing new, this one takes things a little further (and not just because it is coming out of the largest social media platform in the world). The Facebook Home user experience interface is primarily composed of three features: Cover Feed—Replaces your home screen wallpaper with full-screen content from your Facebook News Feed. It draws in content posted by your friends on Facebook onto the background of your home screen, making Cover&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today the Honourable Simon Crean MP, Minister for the Arts, released Australia&#8217;s first national cultural policy in almost 20 years. There&#8217;s plenty of commentary about it, much of which, like me, is excited and impressed by it&#8217;s vision and it&#8217;s genuine relevance. But what I&#8217;ve read so far seems to miss an important point about this policy, which has prompted me to add my 2 cents. At it&#8217;s crux, Crean&#8217;s Creative Australia cuts through arts policy wonk and social stigma alike revealing the truth about the arts that those of us in the sector have long known: that the arts is a dynamic and vibrant part of Australian social and economic endeavour. For fear of wonking myself, let me explain what I mean. The&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of beautiful and considered things being written about the loss of Aaron Swartz, so I thought I would pull together a bit of a list of the posts I particularly liked: Official statement from family and partner of Aaron Swartz The statement from Aaron&#8217;s family and his girlfriend is touching. On Remember Aaron Swartz, 12 January 2013. RIP, Aaron Swartz Cory Doctorow&#8217;s post on Boing Boing was the first post I read about Aaron&#8217;s death (I did have Quinn Norton&#8217;s post open, but I had only skimmed it). Cory offers a personal recount of Swartz. I love Cory&#8217;s colourful description of Aaron as &#8220;&#8230; a full-time, uncompromising, reckless and delightful shit-disturber&#8221; While Cory was developing Homeland, the sequel to Little Brother,&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT &#8220;NEARLY £1,000&#8243; for one of English Heritage&#8216;s iconic blue plaques, The Economist&#8216;s Prospero blog argued overnight that the commemorative marker scheme needs modernising. Their (poorly written) call for change is charged not just by the cost of each clay plaque, but by the lack of transparency in the &#8220;odd ways&#8221; that the plaques are &#8220;doled out&#8221; and the diminished cultural significance of the scheme in an age where most Londoners &#8220;rarely ever even see these badges of honour, often because their eyes are trained on their smartphones.&#8221; The solution, according to Prospero: turn the whole scheme over to &#8220;committed amateurs&#8221; financed through &#8220;plaque-wielding Kickstarter campaigns&#8221; a delivered to you through a &#8220;crowdsourced blue-plaque app.&#8221; Sure, the scheme could do with an overhaul.

If you can&#8217;t be bothered reading the whole thing (and let&#8217;s face it most people can&#8217;t, since most people can&#8217;t be bothered reading the terms for themselves! :p) then here&#8217;s the crux of the changes: As a first point, the changes of terms is designed to bring them more into line with industry standards for these types of documents. Part of the changes is tidying up the structure and wording, and some of it is expanding the terms, and part of it is introducing new things to the terms. How one &#8216;demonstrates&#8217; consent to these new terms (ie that you &#8221;agree to be&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of good analysis and a lot of FUD going round about the proposed new Instagram terms. I have only skimmed them thus far but here&#8217;s my initial take: Facebook has owned Instagram since April this year and have been thinking about how to bring this new acquisition into the fold. These new terms are part of whatever grand plan they have in mind. Put simply, the new Instagram terms of use aim to harmonise the Instagram and Facebook arrangements with users for the purpose introducing Facebook&#8217;s &#8216;subtle and social&#8217; advertising process on Instagram. Yes some of what they want to do with your private data sucks, but Facebook has already been screwing you in that department. What I think is more&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three days ago Melbourne&#8217;s Metro Trains released Dumb Ways to Die, a cutesy animation video that depicts the demise of a number of animated characters. As these 2D cuties kick the bucket through a range of situations such as getting toast out with a fork or inviting a psycho killer into their house they join the choreographed number where the recently deceased dance the dance of the dead. The video is not all for fun&#8217;s sake. It is designed to promote the transport services operator&#8217;s new rail safety awareness campaign. Developed by McCann&#8216;s Melbourne office, the campaign involves a suite of digital assets including dumbwaytodie.com, a website where users are presented with 9 risky scenarios involving trains, and encourage to pledge to &#8220;not do dumb stuff around trains&#8221; by pressing&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Italian-born street artist Paolo Cirio is well known for his clever albeit sometime illegal creative practice, and his new project is no break from this tradition. Street Ghosts saw him take to the streets of London, Berlin and New York with life-sized reproductions of images of people captured by the Google Maps Street View vehicles. Cirio wheatpaste these photos back into the urban environments where they were (often unknowingly) immortalised on the popular mapping tool. This work combines so many things I am interested in! Maps, geolocation, street-art, copyright, the relationship between digital and &#8216;real&#8217; environments and actions, urbanism and urban studies. What I particularly love is the paradox it presents. To borrow from Cirio&#8217;s artist statement (which I highly recommend reading): As the&#8230;]]></description>

Procrastinating and/or drinking may be one way to take your mind of it, but over at the University of Texas at Austin, the good people of the Architecture Student Council on campus organise a biannual end-of-semester event named Foam Sword Friday, in which students bearing foam swords do battle on the pedestrian crossing on Guadalupe Street at the West Mall entrance to the campus. When the lights turn red, the student hoard engage each other in swordplay in the middle of the street. At this year&#8217;s event an eager freshman was hit by a bus that ran the red light.

But the bluesy popster has recorded  two melancholic guitar covers of Lana Del Rey&#8216;s &#8216;Video Games.&#8217; &#8216;Sounds from Thursday afternoon&#8217; is more true to Mayer&#8217;s sound (and Del Rey and Justin Parker&#8217;s original composition for that matter). It is &#8216;Sounds from Thursday evening&#8217;, a more watery bluesy guitar version, that meanders off in some other direction around the 2 minute mark. But both tracks are totally worth a listen.]]></description>

Just a heads up! Just hours ago Google launched Google Play, a combined user interface for your apps, books, movies and music, bringing together the content and purchase platforms that used to be the separate Android Market, Google Music and the Google Books eBookstore services (you&#8217;ll notice that market.android.com, music.google.com and books.google.com/ebooks all now redirect to their respective areas of Google Play). They&#8217;ve also launched the Google Play Store Android app as well as Play apps to use your books, movies and music.

Last week Woolworths&#8217; rolled up a &#8216;virtual&#8217; supermarket on the walls on Town Hall in Sydney. This week Sportsgirl turned the windows of their Chapel Street store in Melbourne into a &#8216;window store&#8217;. Like the point-and-purchase supermarket, the windows displays images of selected inventory for sale. Take a photo of the barcode (does anyone know if it&#8217;s a QR code?) QR code and you can purchase the item through Sportgirl&#8217;s online store. Just like Woolworths, I tip this is nothing more than a PR exercise. But hey, here I am talking about it when I never thought I would&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just now I was writing about something else entirely on this blog when the GIZMODO extension I used with Chrome popped up with the headline, &#8220;Get 50GB Free Storage for Android.&#8221; Eyebrow raised, I impulsive clicked the link and followed the article&#8217;s instructions to get Box&#8216;s Android app &#8220;right now&#8221; to get 50GB of cloud storage for free forever. True to their word, I got my 50GB free. While this is a pretty sweet deal—and I do encourage any fellow Android user to take them up on their 30-day offer—as the app downloaded and I registered for another cyber locker service, I began to think, &#8216;Do I actually need this space?
