On May 19, 2009 I gave a 5 minute presso at a Webstock Mini evening along with 14 other fine folk.
Having only 5 minutes I decided to forgo slides altogether and go for a quick slice of delight, insight and impact. Or at least, that was the plan. In thinking about a topic beforehand I [...]
We didn’t invent the remix (Wellington, May 2009)
The Tactician (Wellington, May 2009)
In May 2009 I presented at the ALGIM Web Symposium in Wellington on behalf of my employer Shift.
Originally my topic was Drinking from the firehose and concentrated on website measurement, but I diverted thought streams a little and decided to talk more about governance, visualisation and telling the story of websites rather than just their [...]
Webstock Mini (Wellington, May 2009)
Tuesday May 19, 2009 I’ll be presenting a quick 5 minute thing alongside a bunch of others at Webstock’s 3rd birthday and coming out party in Wellington.

Thomas [...]
A punch-line in search of a joke (unsolicited, 2009)
Following a few talks around the water cooler at my employer Shift I wrote up a presentation draft for a talk on online viral videos – to highlight some misconceptions and propose a way of using the medium genuinely.

Dancing about architecture (Auckland, March 2009)
I presented this in March 2009 at the Digital Media Summit in Auckland on behalf of my employer Shift.
It was originally called, From story telling to play – the co-creative future of media but as usual by time it was locked in I had a more poetic and less descriptive title.
The conference programme description was,

What Carmen did all day… (March, 2009)
The full title of this presentation is, “What Carmen did all day and how your messages didn’t reach her, but how she still knew what to have for tea, and who to vote for.” I presented a preliminary version of this on behalf of my employer Shift to a Public Relations firm we work with.

Drinking from the firehose (Wellington, May 2009)
In May 2009 I’ll be presenting at the ALGIM Web Symposium in Wellington on behalf of my employer Shift.
The web is a firehose of data. The difficulty is not finding things to measure online – but determining where to put the effort, what conclusions to draw from data, and how to react fast enough for [...]
From story telling to play – the co-creative future of media (Auckland, March 2009)
In March 2009 I’ll be presenting at the Digital Media Summit in Auckland on behalf of my employer Shift.
Story telling is a timeless aspect of great media and indeed great marketing. The digital revolution has grown the ability of every person to tell and disseminate stories whether via text, photography or video. Brands are now [...]

I presented at the Digital Media & Content Summit on behalf of my employer Shift in August of 2007.
