The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Watched 'World War Z' this evening. Previously I have said "What is the freaking point of movies about Zombies?? It looks awful!" I've changed my mind. In fact, I'd say my mind has been blown. If you haven't seen this movie, my review won't spoil it; What I say here is more a semi-cryptic review... Continue Reading →
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 →
Seriously, when it comes to dSLR equipment, never go cheap! I bought a 67mm neutral density filter when I was on Kangaroo Island last time I was there. I cannot recall the brand, but I do recall that it was about $15. I should have stopped right there, but I wanted to test some ideas.... Continue Reading →

What has rattled me today is not that they call me - but they... Continue Reading →
I said this on Facebook earlier today. Now I realise that a wider audience needs to read it: Advice to Athletes: Forget about social media, you have a bigger job to do this week. Advice to social media addicts who feel the need to judge olympians: Get off the computer. Go outside. Get some exercise.... Continue Reading →
About two weeks ago my emotions ran wild and nearly overtook my normal crazy creative state of mind. How on earth could such a thing happen? I expressed my emotions through my photography, and it was quite vivid! Yes, that is my head with string wrapped around it like a roast meat. It is experimental photography,... Continue Reading →
By way of thanking all the services involved in the recovery of my son over the last five days, you'll read what has transpired: Massive appreciation for the following services over the last 5 days: The Kingscote Hospital and nurses who were open, available and willing to help at 5AM last Thursday after Jai vomited...

In my last post I said I would write a poem each night throughout April. Turns out I write best when the incident or reason is recent and raw. So when the following happened last night, I wrote out the details during the train-ride home. Tonight, rather than poetry, I am writing a short story.... Continue Reading →
