It’s Official! The David Warren Building Opens
Today on a beautiful day in Canberra, Tuesday the 25th March, 2014, Dr David Warren was recognised by the Canberra Airport! It was so fulfilling seeing the first recognition of David Warren in our nations capital, Canberra. Thank you Stephen Bryon for taking this step and I liked your speech today. Up until now only…
Happy Birthday David Warren
Yesterday was Dr David Warren’s birthday. He was born on the 20 March 1925, so he would have been 89 if he was alive today. He would be very concerned about the still unresolved Malaysia Airlines MH370 as it enters its third week without answers. On the other hand I think he would be very…
Wi-Fi – Behind the scenes #VideoMaking
I have had some emails asking me how I made my latest Wi-Fi video. Making this video was definitely challenging and fun and much less work and stress than my last David Warren Black Box video. I wanted to make it shorter and more interesting, with great cutaways and tell the Wi-Fi inventors story, in a more…
Exciting news: Canberra Airport gets the “David Warren Complex”
I am so happy to tell you about some exciting news… And no, it is not Australia winning a Gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. For those who have been asking for an update, thank you for your patience. I was travelling home from my new school (St Vincent’s College Potts Point)…

Video: Top 5 Most Evil People to Ever Live
I made this video for a school assignment last term. Unfortunately I was not allowed to show it to my year 6 class mates. I think my teacher gave it an R rating :-). Next time I will keep to a G. School this year has been great. I have learnt about Adolf Hitler and…
Poem: From Despair…
I have entered my second poem contest called ‘Sydney Youth Writing Competition‘. There is only one primary rule. You need to include one of these words: Light, Fly or Creek. Last year I entered a poem called ‘In the Ocean’s arms‘ and although it was only my first writing competition, I won my age group which…
Photography: A reflection on my Favourite Cameras
While producing my first photography album “Droplets of Life” I have learnt more than I expected about cameras and what they can achieve. Your best photos don’t always come from the most expensive cameras. I used five cameras and it became somewhat confusing trying to collect all the photos. I have looked back over the…
Send a tweet to your local Member of Parliament
For my Year 6 homework I was asked to write a letter to my local member of parliament, about an issue that I care about. I started writing a letter to my local member who is Peter Garrett AM MP. I told my mum that I had found out that Mr Garrett is also the…
