Where's the Future? Or WTF? Is a blog that serves two goals. One, to create conversation about technology, web, social media and trends that are affecting organisations, government, small business and people today. And two, as a way for me to share my knowledge about the things I have learnt working with and for over 100 communities across Australia.

When it comes to making an impact, connecting and collaborating online we should all be asking, WTF? Or, Where's the Future?

I now have a new blog section called Hits from the Blog it's a shorter, more informal blog - I feel better about having a dedicated space that's a bit looser.

Unless it's one of my awesome memes, all images in the blog are from the excellent Gratisography website.

Why I'm not seeing a Drupal job in my future

I’m not seeing a Drupal job in my future. At one point recently I was taking that pretty hard. I helped troubleshoot an issue a past colleague had, and as I took them through the steps and the site...

Why diversity in technology matters to me – from a community optimist

Should you be paid to sit on the Drupal.org board?

This year I decided to self-nominate for the Drupal.org position for Director at Large. I definitely feel a bit crazy and a bit exposed. There are people that have contributed to Drupal for a billion...
