Why haven't we got Yelp, Google Maps for public transport and fast, cheap Internet connections in Sydney?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1950105092616779979-7160244652078000766?l=www.liztay.net%2Fblog'/></div>lizliz.tay@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950105092616779979.post-7937842254004260352009-02-26T08:26:00.003+11:002009-04-25T18:03:07.078+10:00I have settled into my new home in <a href="http://usa.liztay.net/" target="_blank">Las Vegas</a> and am ready to dive into science and technology news from here!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1950105092616779979-793784225400426035?l=www.liztay.net%2Fblog'/></div>lizliz.tay@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950105092616779979.post-44619542676261702642008-10-15T23:57:00.005+11:002009-06-24T12:09:58.405+10:00I will be leaving my full-time role at Haymarket Media in two weeks to relocate to the U.S.<br /><br />I plan to live and work in Las Vegas for a year from February 2009. While in Vegas, I will be contributing as a freelancer to iTnews, while building my knowledge of, and network of contacts in, the U.S. science and technology industries.<br /><br />From November 2008 to February 2009, I will be backpacking in South East Asia.

It felt great to hand in my final academic thesis on online journalism and to be leaving student life for good.<br /><br />To reflect my updated Web design preferences, I've made some changes to the layout of this site.
