The Melbourne Iwaki Auditorium, named after a former Japanese conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, holds a free concert every other weekend which is broadcasted live on ABC Melbourne on the radio.

Last week pianist Joe Chindamo and violinist Zoe Black performed a few Jazzy arrangements of classic pieces such as J.S.Bach's Air on G string. It was a lovely performance, and if you want to check it out just click the link here and it will send you to the episode on ABC's website.

You might have noticed a few changes on the right hand side of the blog - amongst other things I now have added a poll! This seemed to be an applicable way to get some feedback from you (my dear readers), as your imput matters to me. If you have specific requests or want to talk something away you can always leave a comment below every entry.

Have a good Geek Pride Day!

Come by, say hi

Greetings everyone,

just wanted to give a quick update on my new home in Melbourne. It is a two-floor house fairly close to campus (about 30mins via public transport, which in Melbourne terms is close) in the district of Kensington. I live there with two befriending Chinese people: one of them working, the second one studying as an accountant at RMIT university (the other university in Melbourne).

The Pictures above show (top left to bottom right): (1) Apartment from outside, (2) my room, (3) the living room, (4) the kitchen, (5) the garden behind the house, (6) the owners' chicken. I'll introduce my roommates another time. Have a good Sunday!,

Cheers
Jan
