Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Whilst I know there are tonnes of great advantages to working solo (rather than in a team or corporate environment) I decided to ask people I chat with on Plurk what they believed are the best reason to 'go solo'. So far I have had these interesting and varied responses: Less Meetings (Kay Walker) I... Continue Reading →
When your boss hails your name from across the room, what is your normal reaction? The premise for this question is from an incident I had the good fortune to resolve. It happened in a TANDY store about three years ago, though I do not recollect what my original purpose nor purchase was meant to... Continue Reading →

Wow, I have been blogging for over six years! The first two years were simply snippets of my day's activities, nothing more than the computer work I was doing. Back in early 2006 I discovered a number of alternative blog-creation sites, but settled for WordPress.com. I'm yet to say it was the best choice, but... Continue Reading →
I've been tagged to complete five main projects before the end of January 2009. Almost scares me to think that I would complete a project or two within the next few weeks, but I feel sure it is possible. 1. Create new logo for a new web friend. A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
