Shaun, Sherif & John live, work, and breathe Tech. While we often have some different view points (Shaun loves Macs would you believe, and John thinks Vista x64 is a good operating system!! Lets not even talk about Sherif..did someone say Media Wiki is better than Confluence...? You're going down!) "at the end of the day" as one of our mentors can often be heard saying, we all love technology, coding, and the very very cool things that people are doing out there in the technology industry.
Listen to the Instantiate Podcast - You can look forward to a wide variety of conversation from us on everything from Web Development and Tech News, to Web 2.0 and Social Networking... and while the web is truly global, we think you'll appreciate our Aussie sense of humour and our own take on the world... or not....
