In the New York Times they discuss the Conficker Worm which will activate itself on April 1st. Should you be concerned? Well, Only if... Continue Reading →
Caught on Film
Last weekend whilst searching the house for my misplaced macro lens, I stumbled upon my old film-camera that shot 800+ photographs of New Zealand back in 2001. That's around 40 x 36f rolls of film! The Canon EOS 500 [Image] was quite a formidable camera for its time. But with the advent of the digital... Continue Reading →
History: March 2008
A year ago I was writing a lot more regularly. I'd like to return to that much writing per day and week. I do enjoy both typing and pencilling articles or stories, yet I rarely get to the stage of typing them up. Other interests have taken over that time slot. There were a few... Continue Reading →
History Defiled
I know pain. A few years back I walked a sixteen-kilometre hike, fourteen with a busted knee. Less than two kilometres into the walk I slid down an embankment to walk around massive boulders, see the ocean up-close and photograph a MASSIVE bee-swarm. I slid down what I thought was a solid soil cliff to... Continue Reading →
Stephen Needs…
I always enjoy a meme that involves honesty, truth and the human brain. Found via another Steve, I hereby list my 'needs': Stephen needs nothing more than a new direction. Because he has his health, a brain, the ability to breathe and a roof over his head. Stephen needs to clean out the clutter, metaphorically,... Continue Reading →
He Jumps, He Shoots, He Scores!
I've been tagged to complete five main projects before the end of January 2009. Almost scares me to think that I would complete a project or two within the next few weeks, but I feel sure it is possible. 1. Create new logo for a new web friend. A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
Finding Happiness Every Day of the Week
Is your daily activity influenced by the name of the day? The reason I ask is because I continuously tell friends that the worst way to die is to live only on the weekends. To me there is no weekend, just week days. Monday to Sunday. I don't restrict the way I have fun, the... Continue Reading →
Facing the Facts
Previously I have mentioned to many people, both at work and online, that I am anti-Facebook. I take it all back, and apologise for anything I've ever said about Facebook! Why? ... Well, I succumbed. When both family and new friends asked me to join up to see how much it has changed and how... Continue Reading →

From Ideas to Action
I’m what you’d call an "ideas person". Not in the corporate buzzword sense, but in the way that my brain never seems to shut up. It’s a swirling mix of mild eccentricity, a bucket of entrepreneurial activity, and a gigalitre of optimism that keeps me sane and insane simultaneously. Starting Your Entrepreneurial Day I don’t...

Apple iPod Touch Wish List
Without a doubt, the latest range of Apple products on the market have given us two lightweight yet graphic-filled devices. I am talking 'bout the iPhone and Touch. The popularity of both totally amazes me, though not because I don't like them, far from it -- I know of many people who have either purchased... Continue Reading →
Talking, Keeping and Downloading Books
Liz Strauss has turned on the comments-microphone on within her latest article, allowing readers to 'chat' about subjects of interest. The subject today/tonight is 'eBooks'. I've only occasionally read this style of book. As most have discovered, Google have a collection of eBooks (that interest me) available to scroll through with the flick of a... Continue Reading →
