Somehow I stumbled upon Penelope Trunk's website this morning. Very quickly I read this quote below - which reminded of conversations I have had recently - so I had to share it! Farming is changing a lot. It’s a lot like what you say about how corporations won’t take care of you and you have... Continue Reading →
Using Twitter to Get Camera Recommendations
Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Multi Skilling Keep the Mind Sane
Diversity is fun, but it can get difficult to focus on so many things at once. It's actually what's keeping me away from Facebook. Right now I have my fingers in a bunch of proverbial pies that are starting points to potential virtual end-products. One part of my brain is focusing on a new site... Continue Reading →
How to Walk without Leaving your Desk!
Somehow I found myself watching this interesting youtube clip about the Facebook Server rooms . A few minutes into this docu-data-archive (see what I did there?!) is a guy on a treadmil at a desk ... and I have never seen anything like that before! So I had to do some googling about this subject. Turns out... Continue Reading →
Being Very Right
I like proving the vocational assessment I had 3 months ago to be very wrong. Yes, one might say a thing is either wrong or right, there's no place for a combination of the two. To that I'd like to butcher a quote by Stuart, owner of the profitless comic book store on #TheBigBangTheory -... Continue Reading →

Somewhere in there I have a 3GB box that is twice the size of a standard shoe box - I use it as a paper weight and... Continue Reading →

The first one reads: ARE YOU A FREELANCER, ENTREPRENEUR, OR RUN YOUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS?? CONNECT WITH HUB The second one... Continue Reading →

Family Event: The Adelaide City to Bay Fun Run 2013
Our close friends Vicki and Ben Kramer have a lovely little boy who required a heart operation shortly after birth. It touched our hearts when we heard what it took to support their family during those early days of little Zach's life. So now we want to give as much as possible to all families who... Continue Reading →
Quote Mash of the Day
"Last minute necessity is the mother of entrepreneurial invention." Between camera stores, seeking a particular part for my tripod, I muttered it to myself in 2013. Little did I know that this random muttering would hold a grain of universal truth, especially in the realm of photography. Picture this: You're on the brink of capturing... Continue Reading →
Bookmarks of Interest
Despite two real-world events today, I've still managed to get onto the online world to visit and read a few world wide web sites of personal interest ... and here they are for others to read. OK, they are really published here so I don't have to bookmark them on my computer. Since Deli.ci.ious changed... Continue Reading →
