Where in the world wide web is...?

Here's my problem... I want to stay abreast of current events and issues, I want to read about the latest technological advances, and I'd love to know what other people are saying about it all too. But quite honestly, my web search skills are lacking to say the least, and by the time I find something really of interest to me, an hour or two has lapsed and if I don't actually start doing some work soon... well my 'boss' won't be too impressed!

Fortunately I have myself a 'Matt Pascoe', who somehow gets his little laptop to tell him amazing facts and stories on a daily basis and then shares them with me in a summarised version.

But I am trying to do my own bit as well, and this morning I found a local Brisbane site that is helping me on my way to engaging in intelligent and witty conversations at parties (!) ... it's a blog that has been developed by street mag, Map, and I really enjoyed flicking through it. It's especially applicable to Brisbane dwellers with news of what's going on, and it also has a lot of articles on social awareness and 'business with a conscience'. Anyway, I recommend a click-through if you've got a spare minute or two.
