This is going to be a couple of weeks of polar opposite updates: This week I'm in Rockhampton, a regional centre in my home state where I'm surrounded by gum trees, chirping birds and a croc-invested river. Next week will be Washington DC where I'll have just finished testifying in front of US Congress. Whoa.
That's the big story this week. This year. This career. It's both a massive thing and a walk in the park, the former because it's testifying in front of freakin' congress and the latter because it's writing about something I know inside and out (which is kinda why I've been asked there), reading a 5-minute speech then answering some questions. A walk in the park :)
But none of that changes the constant stream of other things on the boil including the Uber hack this week and a bit of writing about outsourcing accountability (pro tip: you can't). That's it for now, next week will be the big one!
