Fooling around with Inkscape, it dawned on me I should do something productive with my random drawings, so I turned them into OpenOffice.org Impress presentation backgrounds.

This is halfway through an earth, water, air, fire set. Earth - is represented by brown spirals - semi-inpsired by the triple spiral at New Grange in Ireland. Water - represented by blue bubbles. Seemed the natural thing to do with Spheres, clones and gradients.

Whilst I was doing a stint on the OSIA stand at OpenCeBIT earlier this month, Adam Turner approached me for a vox pop response for his radio show on techtalk called view from the couch.

I've been up in Sydney at OpenCeBIT this week. It's been interesting, and there's still one day to go.
