Thinking Outside The Cup
This article is about Howard Schultz continuing to push the growth of the Starbucks brand. He sees Starbucks as a 'people business' and so looks at ways of creating an experience for Starbucks customers. He has opened a range of Hear Music Coffeehouses where customers can enjoy their coffee and listen to music for free and burn tracks they like to a CD for a fee.

ACME Label Maker
I remember making these labels as a kid and sticking them onto my lunchbox, my Donkey Kong Game and Watch and anything really. I think I used one of those Dyno ones where you turn the dial to the letter you want and then pushed some button to make that letter appear. Now you can make virtual labels.

Bloggers come of age
The Age reports that "the blogger has become cutting edge media with a role to play even in the US presidential election race."
But says that bloggers feel that the campaign blogs are not authentic.
"They have no personality, they never talk about anything remotely interesting," said blogger Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, whose website www.dailykos.com, receives an estimated 104,910 visits a day, according to weblog traffic ratings.

Water Features - by Toni Salter
Water has always been a classic feature in garden design. The sound of trickling water immediately transforms a garden into a soothing and relaxing retreat, bringing a sense of peace and harmony to anyone who visits.
There are many ways you can bring water into the garden, from the smallest of water bowls in a shaded courtyard to an elaborate fountain in a formal garden setting or even a natural pond in a more eco-friendly permaculture garden. Whatever your choice, there are a few things to consider that will determine their effectiveness...

NSW KM Forum 5 August meeting - Free event
Anne Hudson of Grouputer Solutions will talk on collaborative technologies.
The second speaker is Andrew Balmaks, with a talk entitled Practical KM: Turning Rhetoric to Reality
Knowledge management in many organisations is confined to academic debates by enthusiasts and/or a focus on information technology. Gaining tangible benefits from knowledge management is the major challenge for organisations that have a knowledge agenda. Two organisations that are taking active steps to achieve practical outcomes are the Department of Defence and the Department of Family and Community Services.
Andrew is a Principal with Noetic Solutions (www.noeticsolutions.com.au) has been involved in working with both organisations on gaining practical outcomes from their knowledge agenda. He will present two short case studies about this work to stimulate questions and discussion:
Valuing Intellectual Capital (Department of Defence)
Getting some quick wins from Knowledge Management (Department of Family and Community Services)
Andrew will identify:
* the problem and what the organisations were seeking to achieve
* the methodology used to address the problem
* the product of the work
* how the work impacted on the organisation
* the way ahead
When:
Turn up by 5:30pm, talks start at 6pm. Finish at 7:30pm. Then down the road for drinks and chats.
Where:
Standards Australia, Level 6 286 Sussex St (Corner of Bathurst St) Sydney NSW.
Latecomers, call James Digges on 0414 191 009 for access.

Invite to submit stuff to Spinach7 magazine
Spinach 7 magazine [http://www.spinach7.com] is looking to invite new folks to write for its visual arts pages. If you don't know Spinach 7, it's a great, full colour glossy mag which focuses on politics, culture, technology, and has a specific Asia-Pacific focus.
The mag comes out about 4 times a year, has distribution thoughout Australia (and beyond??)
through newsagents and bookshops, and from now on will have a double page spread specifically for visual arts, (whatever they might be.)
Your contribution: could be anything - a short article about something amazing/ unmissable/ disastrous, a critique of an event or issue, a promo about an upcoming thingamajig, a piece of experimental writing, or.. As long as it broadly fits into the scope of visual arts the sky is the limit, mate.
Each issue will probably follow the following format - an 800 word feature article with accompanying colour images, plus 3 shorter (200 word) articles each with a colour image.
In addition, longer and especially fascinating articles might get a feature run on their own
elsewhere within the mag. Best to discuss these with me or the Spinach folks first tho, as you'd hate to write 10000 words and then find out there was no space eh?
Next issue is coming out late July, so its already at the designers. The NEXT issue will probably need to have content submitted in a month or so, so DO get in touch and lets get the ball rolling soon!(ps especially keen to have coverage of stuff happening outside of NSW/VIC and from our O/S
neighbours, and stuff that might not get coverage elsewhere.)
Cheers

True or False: "Dealing with Centrelink_is_working for the dole"...* - Melbourne
Footscray Community Arts Centre is running a project that involves making and distributing a zine (an independently- or self-published magazine) about 'Centrelink'. Are you interested in submitting work to this zine? If so, we'd love to hear from you. We're also running a series of free, self-publishing workshops, so if you're melbourne-based and interested in collaborating with other like-minded people, writing, collage (cut'n'paste, scissors'n'glue), photography,
comic art, and design, we'd love to see you at one or all of our workshops (see below for details).
1) SUBMITTING WORK
We're keen to receive your work. We're interested in all kinds of stuff, including:
* stories about experiences with Centrelink
* other personal writing (eg diary excerpts, rants, etc)
* interviews, articles, essays, manifestos, etc
* short stories, poetry, song lyrics, excerpts from novels and scripts, etc
* artwork (photos, comics, collage, etc)
* writing combined with artwork
* any other stuff you think could be good...
We're looking for a range of different views about Centrelink (a bit of balance, in this case).
Here are some other thoughts:
* You can submit your work anonymously or using a (mischievous?)pen-name if you like. But we will need to have your full contact details - address, phone number and email address (if you have one). We absolutely promise not to share your contact details with anyone
* You'll need to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your submission cos we'll need to let you know you about your submission. If you need us to return your work (just let us know),
please include sufficient postage
* Text pieces must be 2500 words maximum (sorry, but space considerations n all...). It'd be good if they were typed and double-spaced (with a legible font). But handwritten submissions are ok
as long as they're legible
* Please don't send us your only copy
* Please use plain paper
* All submissions, including artwork, must be no larger than A4 size
* Apart from maybe the front cover, the zine will be printed on a black and white photocopier so just bear that in mind (especially if you're submitting artwork)
* It will take us a month or two to get back to you about your work
* We will do our best to fit everything into the zine but this might not be possible
* We can be flexible about this stuff if required, so if you have a query about these guidelines, please contact us (see contact details at the end of this call out).

2) MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO COME TO A FREE WORKSHOP OR TWO...

All workshops are at Footscray Community Arts Centre, 45 Moreland St, Footscray (just 2 mins walk from Footscray Station - which is just a few stops out of the city).
