Howdy We Operate Best Together Backers and Fans!
Apologies if some of this is old news to some of you, but I thought I’d condense the past months’ adventures for y’all in this email. Also, I’d asked some of you if I could add you to my eNewsletter list to stay up to date on my project. Might you resend me a yes or no – even if you already have? Your privacy is important and I’m currently doing all these batch emails ‘by hand’ – no fancy eNewsletter software yet:p
Onwards with the updates!

August and September have been incredibly busy and enriching months for WOBT. The scope of We Operate Best Together has also expanded a bit to incorporate some new developments in the adventure…
—Adventures in NYC—
I visited NYC (and Boston) and had an amazing time:
• got a free roundtrip ticket to Boston (care of Ben Sheldon thanks Ben!) for the NAMAC Conference (http://namac.org/conference)
• toured the Eyebeam art and technology space in New York and interviewed Emma Lloyd, Director of Technology: http://bit.ly/3zfgiy
• attended my first SHARE event: http://bit.ly/p33AG
• squatted a loft in Manhattan with a childhood friend: http://bit.ly/1wbtFE
• visited with WOBT friends at Digital Democracy: http://bit.ly/548f2
• volunteered some time with the Transmission Project (formerly CTC VISTA) to redo their wiki: http://digitalartscorps.org/wiki
A brilliant, brilliant time in NYC/Boston was had by all…
—WOBT Site Relaunch—
I also relaunched and got a new URL for We Operate Best Together: Check it out: http://www.weoperatebesttogether.org You can also subscribe to blog updates (different from this newsletter) here: http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=WeOperateBestTogether&loc=en_US
—WOBT is Now in Australia!—
Aaaand in the midst of adventuring on the East Coast, I got a job in AUSTRALIA with an amazing organization called Curious Works (http://www.curiousworks.com.au/about). Through creative collaborations nationally and locally, they work to ‘reshape the systems of cultural production in Australia, for the benefit of all Australians’ using new media tools and trainings.
While here I will be traveling to remote Australian communities to do technology assessments, develop curriculum and assist with new media/video storytelling. Throughout, I will be documenting all my work on the WOBT and Curious Works websites.
Today I venture out into a New South Wales’ (Sydney’s) first dust storm in nearly 25 years to begin my first day of work at Curious Works Sydney artist loft office. Check out the pix below:
