The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Every time I get a new device I test it rigorously before considering buying any new accessories. After two days of shooting with a Fuji FinePix XP130, I am ready to buy a charging/download cable, three spare batteries, two 64GB memory cards, and a small carry bag. Love to build a handgrip similar to GoPro... Continue Reading →
It has been a very busy first-month of 2021! To earn a few dollars I wash windows around Kangaroo Island - and I haven't stopped since the year began! Some locations require a 30-45 minute drive - because some clients reside in remote locations around Kangaroo Island. You Saw My First Healthy Smoothie? I now... Continue Reading →
I wrote this simple review to put on the Ben Buckler website. It's regarding my Xmas present to myself - the Carbon Black Thousand-series Helmet . But not knowing when it would appear on their site, I am publishing it here also. After reading many reviews on the thousand series, I went with this heritage... Continue Reading →
I bought a blender for Xmas. Not for anyone else. I wanted it - to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches. I am now eating far better because of what I can do with it.

Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
I shot, produced, and uploaded this video where I share a story from 2017. It revolves around my initial move to Kangaroo Island and a memorable encounter with a group of random women who yelled at me for vlogging on a public beach. This video offers an odd narrative, shedding light on the challenges vloggers... Continue Reading →
I made a SILLY mistake: I cancelled my radio show earlier tonight because of this voice message I received in the middle of the second song. PLEASE NOTE #1: This is an AMENDED transcription of an English voice who translated a Spanish voice message. The rest has been deleted as it has been proven to... Continue Reading →
Whilst there is nothing funny about war, some of the best cartoon-art has been created to say so much about the sh1t that's happening in Ukraine now. I unfortunately can't give credit to any of the original artists of these images. They are welcome to let me know. But Putin can go f.... well, you... Continue Reading →
Our 7yo son Jai wanted to take his imaginary Ender Dragon for a walk. I saw no harm. We took him to the Kingscote Farmers Market, held at the Bay of Shoals Vineyards. Jai had a blast. Fairly sure the Ender Dragon had fun too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiAfOp6kCU Big News: We are moving house within the next... Continue Reading →
