The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Whilst I had planned to save for a new canon lens, I've decided to get something far more important - at least for me: I want U2 tickets! Unfortunately U2 are not performing in Adelaide, so we will be spending a weekend in Brisbane or somewhere we can find family willing to accommodate us for... Continue Reading →
I'm always finding stupid places where cigarettes have stamped out, odd places where someone has mashed cigarette-ends to put out the flame, and drowned where they have been thrown into water-ways (road-gutters, creek-beds, etc). As an ardent anti-smoker, this gets me bloody angry that people can be so careless with what is ultimately a 'dangerous... Continue Reading →
I don't deny I've bought a lot of self-help books over the last twenty five years. Yet there are only a few that I regularly read, particularly pages and portions that pertain most to my want to fix my life. I'm one of those kids that walked around at high-school saying "This is a stepping... Continue Reading →
FastCompany is seeking the most influential people on the internet. I'm not sure how they are calibrating this system, but it is (at least) a great way to see how viral a site can be. By connecting with people via the many popular social-network sites, and encouraging participants to encourage others to join, this could... Continue Reading →
Over the last few years I have attended many interesting photography MeetUps. As I have always enjoyed meeting and talking with new people, I continued organising MeetUps enabling Adelaide Photographers to meet, greet and shoot at various locations. I organised the City-Walk MeetUp in May 2009 where 30 people from Flickr, Redbubble and PhotoWhosalers met... Continue Reading →
Whilst some might say the iPad has limited functionality, I believe the latest toy from Apple is the perfect tool for these 3 types of workers: Photographers, Entrepreneurs and Consultants. The world is filled with people who spend their days performing many of these jobs, often in combination. With the many applications that can be... Continue Reading →
Most bosses are worried about the probability that you are viewing unsavoury internet sites, so they periodically send emails or bulletins outlining the strict usage of the internet for work-purposes. A few years back they were concerned with excessive band-width usage and download over-capacity, which is not really a problem if they have change their... Continue Reading →
I have been so lucky today: My wife made the final payment on my new camera; A Canon EOS 50D! NOTE: The image above is NOT the camera I purchased, it is a Canon RF50mm 1.8 STM lens. I've been wanting this camera for about two years. Despite the other new Canon's that have arrived... Continue Reading →
It would appear that I use the internet differently to most people. 1. I don't want to lead large groups of people. I prefer to be part of the group, get involved with the machinations and converse with the crowds. Yes, I am the leader of the Adelaide/SA Photographers on Redbubble. It is merely a...
