If you haven't tried using Google Earth then try it now! It's cool. Having done Geography at uni, this is an especially fun resource! I looked for my parents' house and found it. I found it started to get a bit pixelated when I tried to zoom in on the roof and street level. But still v.cool nonetheless.

Popcorn Taxi: Pixar's One Man Band + Interview with Director & Producer 8th August
"Sydney Premiere of Pixar Animation's great new short 'One Man Band' + Q&A with Pixar Director Andrew Jimenez and Producer Osnat Shurer.
Pixar's 'One Man Band' has comic timing that is spot on, the animation is flawless and the imagination out of this world...' - Melbourne International Film Festival.
Popcorn Taxi is proud to present this special evening with animation giant PIXAR at CINEMA PARIS. Join us for the Sydney Premiere screening of ONE MAN BAND, their new short film and meet director ANDREW JIMENEZ and producer OSNAT SHURER.
ONE MAN BAND tells the captivating and funny tale of a peasant girl who, with one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, encounters street performers who would much prefer the coin to find its way into their pockets. As the buskers' rivalry builds the film climaxes in a spectacularly comic crescendo.
Computer animation behemoth PIXAR, producers of such mega-hits as TOY STORY I & 2, FINDING NEMO and THE INCREDIBLES, have stuck to their roots and continue to make extraordinary and original short films such as JACK ATTACK, BOUNDIN' and MIKE'S NEW CAR.
Tonight's show offers a unique insight into PIXAR, focusing on their short projects, and asks why they keep making them!
Including clips and behind the scenes footage tonight's program is a unique opportunity to get an insight into the methods and techniques of the world's most successful animation studio.
Popcorn Taxi would like to thank PIXAR ANIMATION and the LANTERN GROUP for making this program possible."

Saturday Indesign
Visited some of the showrooms that particpated in the Saturday Indesign event. It's an event where 66 suppliers open their showroom doors to the design profession. Many of the showrooms had food and drink on offer whilst the designers wandered through looking at the product ranges. There were also free buses to take people around to the various showrooms.
Ended up going to: Corporate Culture - furniture, who shared with Bang & Olufsen and Designer Rugs; Argent - bathroomware (v.close to Corporate Culture); Arthur G Designs - furniture; Contemporary Leathers - leather upholstery who shared with Instyle - fabrics; FY2K - furniture; Living Edge - furniture; Schiavello - furniture; Spence & Lynda - furniture, homewares; Zenith Interiors - furniture; Kvadrat Maharam - fabrics; Systems Supply - furniture. Some of these were literally a few doors down from each other so decided to pop into those places as well.

Houses of the Future 19 Feb- 31 Oct 2005
"The Sydney Olympic Park Authority is proud to host the Houses of the Future exhibition at Jacaranda Square, Sydney Olympic Park from 19 February – 31 October 2005.
This innovative and FREE public exhibition showcases sustainable design excellence and environmental innovations in 6 Houses made from clay, concrete, timber, steel, cardboard, and glass and 2 creative responses that showcase sustainable gardens.
Houses of the Future challenges us to consider the future of our built environment and two of the most tangible elements of that environment – the ‘house’ and the ‘garden’
Each House is made from a different material, and is designed by an architect working closely with the trade association and/or research institute working with that material. The Houses form part of a new generation of pre-fabricated dwellings emerging around the globe. The houses are a response to growing consumer demand for homes that are modern, environmentally sensitive and of high quality.
Similarly, the two “Gardens of the Future” showcased in this exhibition highlight the use of sustainable building materials, re-using materials and challenge our perception of a ‘garden’ can be…
The Houses of the Future exhibition highlights renewable energy, nano-technology, recycled water, the use of recycled materials and design features that promote water and energy conservation.
The Houses are designed to be compliant with BASIX (the NSW Government’s sustainable design requirements for water and energy) and are connected to Sydney Olympic Park’s innovative water recycling system, which saves approximately 850 million litres of drinking water each year!
Houses of the Future aims to stimulate sustainable design ideas, clever thinking and imagine a sustainable future. Over the next eight months we hope this exhibition promotes new ways of providing affordable, environmentally sustainable, prefabricated housing that are also futuristic and innovative in their design.
This exhibition seeks to challenge our perception of urban design – recast design boundaries, champion environmental innovation and offer a unique vision of what a “house” or “garden” of the future might be like."

Glenn Murcutt, Richard Leplastrier and Peter Stutchbury talk
The talk on Tuesday night was great!! They had so many people turn up that they had to move to a larger lecture theatre room to accomodate the numbers. It was part of the 2005 Glenn Murcutt Master Class, but this lecture was open to the public as well. All three are very passionate about respecting and protecting the environment, the Aboriginal cultural heritage, and design. They talked about Aborigines and their form and design of shelter, design as affecting the way the well-being of the people in a community, and how planning should respect the topography of the land and nature, rather than just flattening the land and imposing a grid system on it. They talked about creating spaces that children can play in, and grow up in, and thrive in. Glen spoke a bit about councils and suppliers and shared a couple of stories with the audience. He talked about innovating and learning, and trying out new methods of construction, and if they fail then it's your problem. They showed lots of slides through the traditional slide carousel. It was all great! The speakers' enthusiasm, intellect, humour, genius, cynicism, respect for the environment and the Aboriginal people came through very strongly in the presentation. It was a night enjoyed by all who were there.

Customs House Library
Visited the Customs House Library today. The fitouts are really nice with Kartell lamps, Arne Jacobsen's egg chair, really nice dark brown wood shelving, red signage, internet computers, magazine lounge room area, reading room with rows of dark brown tables lined across the room, self checkout machines for library books, and more. There are over 3 floors devoted to the library. It's probably the nicest looking, most designed public library in Sydney. If you're not a resident of the City of Sydney area, you can still join the library for $11.50, and it's $5.50 if you're a senior or under 18 etc. Well worth a visit!
