My YouTube Channel History For the longest time I did almost nothing on YouTube. I remember saying to someone in 2008 - "It's just a fad, it won't last." How wrong was I! Mostly I liked and categorized videos, probably like a lot of people did. I had a U2 collection, plus some series of... Continue Reading →
The Sound of Silence
This is the original version of 'The Sound of Silence' from 1964 from the album 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM': Just Simon's guitar and the vocals. After 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM' flopped, they split up. Without either of their knowledge, both electric guitars and drums were added and this version of The Sound of Silence became... Continue Reading →
Job Hunting Requires a Honed Resume
Of the nine CV mistakes outlined in 9 Common Resume Mistakes Every Job Hunter Should Avoid, I consider these two the most important: Mistake #1: Emphasizing tasks instead of achievements. Those bullet points underneath each job entry? They shouldn’t read like a list of daily duties. Instead, they should emphasize the impact of those duties. What... Continue Reading →
Giving Away Is The Biggest Reward
In an effort to clean up my office and clean out my life, and because I believed at the time we were moving to Kangaroo Island sooner, I had a MASSIVE clean up of books in my mancave/office. One year ago today (16th February 2016) I piled all these books because I felt I would... Continue Reading →

So Much To Do, So Little Time!
I'll admit it, I can't sit still for long. I thrive on creativity, be it thinking, designing, writing, or crafting art. Staying upbeat and being a good parent is my mantra, and I steer clear of negativity. You probably know me as a photographer, but I lost my photography spark back in 2016. Fortunately, around...

Good Memories
What makes me smile? Remembering that in 1986 I wore a white suit (with tails), white shoes, and I think I also had a white top hat, to my senior prom. When I got there (yes, with my date for the evening!), somehow I managed to get a rainbow bow-tie with flashing lights. Oh yeah,... Continue Reading →
Radical Change Won’t Happen Overnight
This message is circulating the internet, particularly Facebook. First read it through, then answer this: Is it at all feasible? Do you really think anyone in Parliament house is going to say "Oh that makes sense, let's make radical changes overnight!" Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now that the Age... Continue Reading →
