Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
This morning, while catching the train to work, I found myself reading an article discussing Jack Welch's leadership legacy. Funny how life occasionally hands you a practical example of whatever you're reading. Behind me sat a bloke on his phone. I only heard his side of the conversation, but that was enough. "I don't have... Continue Reading →
It's great to know that a quote given by one of the original Tuskegee pilots said during the discussion-days with the actors went on to become the most important quote to come out of this film: Red Tails Nothing is difficult, everything is a challenge. When you think about it, that is the best way... Continue Reading →
To understand just a little further how online social entrepreneurs can and do make a difference in the world today, particularly where and how they find solutions where others give up, watch the following video.
Wow, over the last eleven years of writing articles - I haven't written many articles about entrepreneur's ! So in a twisted away, I am answering the question of ... Why not? Well, I was being an entrepreneur, and online most of the time. What did I imagine 'being an entrepreneur' meant? For me, entrepreneurial-ism meant finding ways to... Continue Reading →
Never fear making mistakes. Many different aspects of life can be learned from making mistakes: 1. Communication. Being able to tell others you have made a mistake is important.

My QotD: Change is good. Change is difficult. Whereas underestimating the value and importance of change is hazardous to one's soul and future. Appreciating the fact that change is inevitable is smart thinking. Even if it takes a little time to realise.
I don't often review movies unless they have had a MASSIVE effect on me. Today I have two movies to watch, both recommended by some Facebook (of all places) conversations. 1. Into the Wild First a book, then a movie about the journey of Christopher Johnson McCandless. What you read below is as I wrote... Continue Reading →
As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →
Here is my latest post-idea, which I really should have started doing MANY years ago. Below are comments I have left on sites around the inter-web. Those sites are linked within the comment below so you are able to go read the article to which it refers. 1. First time visitor to your site -... Continue Reading →
I have held back for far too long in my self-learning of web design. Whilst I established my ability at coding HTML and CSS as early as 2002, I've not spent a lot of time since then expanding my knowledge. But now that I want to re-design my website to bring into the latest arena,... Continue Reading →
When I was about eight-years-old, I got hit by a car coming around a bus. I stupidly jumped off at a bus-stop, ran to the back of the bus, turned and ran across the road behind the bus. The two previous days I had made it across successfully and ran into the front-yard of my... Continue Reading →
Most Australians would know by now that BORDERS are in liquidation. As an avid book reader, I am dismayed by this, yet am thankful we have other great book suppliers in Adelaide. (Dymocks and Angus&Robertson to name a few!) Despite knowing about the liquidation a few months ago, it wasn't until tonight that I actually... Continue Reading →
