I feel for Casey Neistat, I actually do. According to his latest video: His left knee creaks when he kneels. Presumably it is more noticeable when he runs. So he is concerned that he may never be able to run again. I gave up running about 2 years ago, at least for long distances, because... Continue Reading →
Move Forward, Look Ahead, Stay Focused
"Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. .... It's safe. I mean, what's the point of going on? What's the point... Continue Reading →
Learn Something New Every Day
Whilst my 2yo son cried for no apparent reason this morning, I quietly said to him ... "You have been alive for less than 750 days. That's 1/50th, a mere 2%, of your potential life. Today is just one day. Tomorrow is another. Let's put this nappy on, and take another breath." ... It's easy... 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 →
First Visit to the Hope Cottage Museum
On Monday afternoon (30.Jan.2017) I decided to take my Canon EOSM with 22mm Lens with me on one of my daily exercise walks. Originally I had intended to walk into Kingscote to get a coffee at Chocol'Art, but somehow I chose to go in the opposite direction: I went up the hill - and discovered... Continue Reading →
3 Important Lessons I have Learnt in life
1. Some negative opinions are from people with no self confidence. Some are from people with no imagination. If you have self confidence and can imagine, then their opinions don't matter. 2. Most negative opinions are from people who cannot imagine you succeeding. That is their problem, not yours. Stay focused on your success. 3.... Continue Reading →
Dell Upgrades Causing Intermittent Buzzing
My DELL laptop, running Windows 8.1, started buzzing every 60 seconds during YouTube video's earlier this evening (16 Feb 2015). It was annoying and I wasn't sure what was doing it. Was it Youtube? Was it the laptop? Was it my gaming software? Rather than being an average user (ie: wondering how much I would... 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 →
Don’t Stop The Future: Blok IT!
I have a shed loaded with electronic waste that goes back 20 years. I have motherboards, sound cards, old cellular phones, cabling, stenographer tape decks and much more. 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 →
