Today some os us OzLab’ers had the pleasure of going to the National Press Club to see Professor Henry Chesbrough talk about Innovation. Owing to the fact that we have a pretty relaxed dress code around the office, the invitation made special mention of the fact that shoes and a collared shirt would be required for lunch.

I remembered my shoes, well if you call sandles shoes, but forgot the shirt.

So I had to do a dash home about 10am to get a shirt.

That’s a pretty boring blog entry you’re thinking. Well the exciting part is that because of some ridiculous section of the Tax law, it’s cheaper for Kelly if she drives her car more KMs over the year. Yes, we’re encouraging people to drive further – use more fuel etc, nice one.

Now I’m not much of a car head, but Kelly’s car is pretty cool, so I obliged. Here’s a pic of it outside my house.

Oh yeah, the Innovation talk. It was interesting listening, and an interesting crowd, we were more or less the only techies, which felt a bit strange. There were some interesting questions, including one that went through the keeper about the XXX XXXXXXX.

Apparently I was on the Tele too! Although one person said I looked bored, I claim that I was deep in thought.
