I meant to celebrate this yesterday, but themes got a bit serious. So, now … go Jolisa! Public Address's own delightful Jolisa Gracewood was named Reviewer of the Year in the 2005 Montana New Zealand Book Awards, for her work in The Listener. We are all very proud of her.
Further reasons to be cheerful - for me anyway - include the fact that I've been invited to Foo Camp, my ticket is booked and I'll be there late next month. I'll be arriving in San Francisco a few days before, and my extremely generous steward Nathan Torkington already has an exciting schedule lined up for me. And yes, of course I'll be blogging it.
It seems wise to arrive at Foo with something to say, and I guess I'll be - as usual when I move in geek circles - the content guy. Among the many things I'm hoping to come away with is another great guest for the year-end Karajoz Great Blend events. (For which, by the way, I have provisionally lined up something really stonking in the way of moving images.)
One thing I'd like to know asap is the names and contacts for any New Zealanders working at Apple Computer. I'll be visiting Cupertino and it would be nice to get the Kiwis around a table at Café Macs. So do let me know if you have a mate there.
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert works some wicked parody on the cheesier elements of An Inconvenient Truth.
