Yes, I have a suit. On 8 May at the National Library of Australia I gave my suit an outing as I delivered my Harold White Fellowship presentation. Thanks to everyone who came along.
If you missed it or want to relive the fun, the NLA has made a podcast available. My slides are also online, so you can follow along for the full audio-visual-not-quite-3D experience.
Use your arrow keys to navigate through the slides, and yes the first page is intentionally left blank. If you linger for a bit on slide two or three, you’ll see the Trove API in action. The presentation itself was constructed using deck.js.

But for now I’ll just keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible over a dodgy home broadband connection. […]
