Have written a piece on Leftfocus on Labor's Georgist History. Will circulate to state and federal Labor MPs to see if any of them support this founding principle of the party. Also, the same 'blog is having a debate on the age-old reform vs revolution, vanguard party vs spontaneous masses approach to social change. Writing another item at the moment which combines Lukács and Arendt which argues for "revolutionary reformism" and "vanguard masses".
Last Sunday conducted the service at the Melbourne Unitarian Church, with Baptist Minister Simon Moyle giving the address. A competent speaker, I was very impressed by his practical, here-and-now approach to Christian ethics (I suspect Tolstoy or C.S. Lewis would have liked this). I rather wish than more Christians were of his ilk. With the presence of of the RMIT Choir adding to the mix it was one of the best services I have been to in the seven years I have been a member.
Yesterday gave a presentation on collaborative technologies (pdf) at the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative. Annual work review afterwards was very positive with suggestion that I should take up a Graduate Certificate in Management (Technology), which of course can become a Grad Dip, then an MBA. Causing some 'wow' factor is IBM building an 80-core chip, and nanoscale chip to hold trillions of bits for billions of years.
