On route to TechEd OZ style


So a couple of weeks have gone by soooo quickly since last I blogged (I did warn people that this would happen).  Anyway, I'm at an Internet Cafe, so what better, or more appropriate, than to update by Blog.

As the title suggests, I'm on route to TechEd in Canberra, Australia.  However, I am currently in Brisbane where it is 26 degrees and the sun is shining.  Meanwhile, I'm stuck at a Health Infomatics conference where the average age is 50+.  Interestingly enough though, the level of technology and innovation is exceptionally high.  I think that despite the relatively slow adoption of technology in the past by doctors, the Health industry is going to be one of the largest adopters of technology this Century.

Recently, the average temperature in Canberra has approached 0 degrees and they have had a record snowfall.  So, I necessarily packed my snowboard (and I'm carrying my brothers as well).  This looked really bizzare when I arrived in Brisbane where most people are beach oriented and think of snow as something that happens at the north pole along with Chrismas.

Don't forget the Next Week is TECHED in Australia and New Zealand.  I will be presenting on Wednesday afternoon, so be there!

Bye for now....

Listen sunshine - when you leave the UK in December - sub-zero temperatures, Christmas well under way in the stores to land in Brisbane (luggage in Sydney unfortunately) with the sun blazing, 40C, with Christmas trees, Kookaburras and flippin' Kangaroos painted on the windows you begin to wonder which planet you're on... I would love to have seen the airport officials faces when you landed with TWO snowboards. So - looks like the blog bug has bitten then :o)
