The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
I am always looking for a new hobby that will both give me pleasure plus could earn me a few extra dollars to support my family. Last night I found a few shoe-boxes of semi-polished rocks I collected at various beaches around Australia. They reminded me of a passion I have had for many years:... Continue Reading →
It has been a very busy first-month of 2021! To earn a few dollars I wash windows around Kangaroo Island - and I haven't stopped since the year began! Some locations require a 30-45 minute drive - because some clients reside in remote locations around Kangaroo Island. You Saw My First Healthy Smoothie? I now... Continue Reading →
I wrote this simple review to put on the Ben Buckler website. It's regarding my Xmas present to myself - the Carbon Black Thousand-series Helmet . But not knowing when it would appear on their site, I am publishing it here also. After reading many reviews on the thousand series, I went with this heritage... Continue Reading →
Another Twenty Years Later Wow, it has been 14 years since I published this article! Back then I considered myself savvy in the computer arts. But now I stay quiet about it because the world has changed dramatically since then and I am not as involved. (Happier being a photographer, window-washer, gardener and father!) Yet...

Since acquiring a new home on Kangaroo Island I have been keen to establish a vegetable garden. It's a WIP as I am building the chicken run first. It will include egg- and poo-collection containers that can be easily extracted and returned. Currently I am seeking 120 bricks - clinkers, pavers, building, other - to... Continue Reading →
I bought a blender for Xmas. Not for anyone else. I wanted it - to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches. I am now eating far better because of what I can do with it. Prior to purchase, I would have bland cereal and diluted cows milk followed by a rough-as-guts branded coffee. But now, oh... Continue Reading →
Our pet cat, Missy the Kitten, was trapped in my office for a short while late this afternoon. During that time she managed to mangle and cut the cable on my Sennheiser HD200Pro radio-presenter headphones. She must have been asleep and trapped in there when I went out shopping for a blender and came home... Continue Reading →
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones. The station has two sets in-station for guests, but because of Covid-19 every presenter is required to have their own. A few months back I first posted about... Continue Reading →
Every six months I export my browser bookmarks that I want to read but can't find the time. I often bookmark links that I feel warrant further reading, potentially learning, or that I want to share on twitter. I like to share. Today I am sharing all my CSS bookmarks. Not because I want you... Continue Reading →
