Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
Me, I make decisions on a moment by moment basis. Meaning that if things change, then I change. I can adapt to almost any situation, and usually without much contemplation. I find this a good trait, yet some people think it means I am two-faced. Yeah, I can see that, but they see this as... Continue Reading →
Over the last ten years things have changed immensely in my life. In the early days of my internet life I spend many days and nights hacking, stripping and rewriting code - it's how I've learnt. I no longer spend so much time writing code, though it is still a passion. I still enjoy coding... Continue Reading →
To understand where this article began, please read 'City of Blinding Lights (Part 1)' Back in my mid-20's I started looking at property as a viable money maker. But I was unemployed, non financial and, most importantly, didn't have a credit rating at any bank. So it was a pipe-dream that I kept to myself,... Continue Reading →
First let me explain the choice of title: Yes, it is U2 song. I started listening to it just as I was putting this article to paper. It is so apt, at least the title. Reason 2 explains how and why. Often the city lights blind us from seeing the right way. But sometimes they... Continue Reading →
In Chris Garrett's latest article, he asks: Do you deserve your social media followers? Here is my response: This seems to be the way of the current state of the WWW.

Here is what I said on Twitter: ~ @luxuryluke @zeldman, You've hit the nail on the head. Deleting FB acc. Family&friends know where to find... Continue Reading →
This is an interesting podcast from LeeHopkins. I've met Lee, I know he is passionate about this subject, and I know he means alll that he says, and it is interesting to see him gesticulating from the grassy side-walks in North Adelaide. I wondered why he is standing to one side of screen ... but... Continue Reading →
Originally written as a response to Ben Barden's article entitled "10 Sites I No Longer Use, and why I Stopped Using Them" [c. July 22, 2009 ], but it got so long that I felt it warranted its own article. I use Facebook to connect with family and close-friends; I use Twitter to connect with... Continue Reading →

Now Shoosh - Allows you to avoid people you don't really want to read right now. 2.

Sometimes the best advice is NO advice. Recently I noticed several online arguments wherein people I know and respect were at loggerheads over inane and pithy incidents. Whilst I could have put my written-voice into the conversation, I had the good sense to take a step back. Yes, the topic was of interest and a... Continue Reading →
This morning I did something unusual yet opportunistic : I asked a stunningly beautiful woman to let me photograph her. Well, that is not the correct story, so let me explain further... After departing the train this morning, I visited my usual coffee-shop (just up the ramp between the North Terrace Train Station and up... Continue Reading →
As you would have read previously, I went to the #SocAdl meeting-of minds on Tuesday, 3rd Nov 2009. With neither expectations nor presumptions, I went along to the Tivoli hotel in Pirie Street simply hoping to meet some new people. The only agenda I had was to attempt to attend both the #SocAdl and #TheStartUpClub... Continue Reading →
