Adam Wozniak's Interweb Adventures

One of my current day-to-day projects is the running of my very own online business – wecancreate – which was launched in March 2009. We specialise in web design and graphic design services, and offer a high quality and affordable service for small businesses, organisations, and individuals.

What I love about this business is the fact that I get to run it the way I think it should be run – cutting through the corporate wank, and just being genuine with my clients and giving them the best service I can provide. It can also be very exhilarating helping my clients either launch their first website (often as part of their journey to escape the rat race themselves!), or re-launch an existing website that wasn’t fulfilling its potential.

During my time as a university teacher from 2007 – 2010, I had the opportunity to teach many different topics. One topic that I became interested in was that of “child soldiers”.

Having admittedly never heard much about this subject before, I went about researching it in as much depth as I could, so as to present two major lectures on this issue.

“Wozniak Live” was a television comedy pilot that I created, produced, wrote, and hosted back in 2005. Not only did I fund it myself, but I also put together an entire team of volunteers (approximately 20 – 30) to help make the pilot.

Just like FUSR, this project remains one of my pivotal experiences from the past. Not only did it build on the strengths I had developed from my time on community radio, but it also made me realise that if I could create something like this from nothing, then anything was possible.

Flinders University Student Radio (FUSR) was, without a doubt, one of the most important and valuable experiences of my life.

FUSR was a timeslot every Wednesday night on Australia’s oldest community radio station, Radio Adelaide 101.5 FM (Radio Station of the Year in 2005). FUSR ran from 1997 – 2006, and I was lucky enough to not only be involved as a producer, writer, and host – but also ultimately as the Director of the station.
