Brisbane Creativity: Heading to Pecha Kulcha Brisbane tonight

I'm going to head on down to the Powerhouse at New Farm Park this evening at 8.20 to catch Pecha Kucha Brisbane. Pecha Kucha "is an event where any designer, artist, architect, interactive media or alike, are given the soapbox to present their designs, thoughts and ideas." They get to speak, and while they speak show 20 slides for 20 seconds each - so each speech is 6 minutes 40 seconds. Which suits my attention span just fine.

The video above shows what went on at the last Pecha Kucha Brisbane,  from this story from the Monkwhy blog.

Civilian car on Busway near Roma St Station heading to city

Just saw a car on the Busway! I was waiting at Roma Street bus station and this civilian drives past. The photo clearly equals Reaction Time Fail but you can *just* see a tail light.

I told the bus driver but he didn't seem worried enough to radio it in, even when the car came back the other way. *Mildly Intrigued*
