Microsoft Australia's Rog42

Our epic Demos Happen {Here} competition is rapidly moving to its next phase, the State Finals. In fact there are less than 49 hours (as of this post) left to register an entry. So how does is the competition stacking up? In terms of # of entries by State...

This morning I had the opportunity to interview with 2 of the inimitable Team SOAK for ABC’s Radio Australia “Innovations” program. The show is likely to go on the air in about a months time across Asia-Pacific. Apparently it’s podcast, so once we have...

This morning David and Ed, 2 erstwhile members of Team SOAK – you remember, the team of Aussie Students that won the Imagine Cup in Paris a couple of weeks ago – appeared on Channel 10’s 9am with David & Kim . The boys did a great job of describing...

You've heard about it! I''ve mentioned Hammertime, our boxercise training that has helped me lose 15kgs to date. Well here's a short video of what we do, and some of the crazy people that do it with me. See you there? R 42 Technorati Tags: Rog42 , Hammertime...

Hear it, See it, Play with it! TechEd as a conference is so much more than it used to be . I mean there's always been the Welcome Event, the Closing Party, and the Track Sessions. Sometimes there have been inspiring Keynotes, and sometimes, well frankly...

Team SOAK is winning hearts and minds here in Paris. To date they’ve delivered their presentation some 3 times in the various rounds of competition. Our first goal was to get through the two heats of round one, to be announced as one of 12 teams in the...

This has to be the best and worst video I’ve ever shot. Best because of the jubilation and extreme emotion (and this is just the first round)!! Worst relates to the quality. Turns out that the Samsung phone, with it’s itsy-bitsy little mic, just isn’t...

Today was, as they say, a hard working day. One of those days when you focus and get into flow, and if you could, would lose track of time. Which is to say I’m totally knackered right now. Today the competition started. For those in the Software Design...

We’ll we all made it to Paris. I got in last night, and Karo arrived with most of the Australian Winners, Team SOAK this morning. Unfortunately, due to a visa mixup, Dimaz will only be arriving on Friday morning – probably a little too late, not to mention...
