After 32 years living in multiple suburbs of Adelaide, the last 18 in the Adelaide hills, 19 years working in the CBD, we moved into Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in late 2016. All effort has been put in to rebuild my wife's honey business, plus get my artwork in display and window-washing businesses on-track. Life... Continue Reading →
Vale Stephen Hawking
Wow. The most impressive person on this planet (according to me) passed away today. I had to check my small library to make sure: I still have his book. "A Brief History of Time". Which I imagine will be on his grave stone. May his theories, writing and memory never be forgotten.
How Many People Have To Tell America?
#America, you can continue to infuriate and amaze the rest of the planet. You need to reduce gun accessibility. Licenses must be much harder to attain. Yes, Australia has had horrific gun massacres - we fixed the problem
Surviving the Sad Times
Over the last 35 years there have been people whom I have had only one opportunity to meet. Why only once? Because they made life-altering choices that no one saw coming, or nobody fully realised how severe that person's state-of-mind had become. Last month I rested my hand on the shoulder of two female friends... Continue Reading →
One of My Tripods has Died!
Sometimes I create content which is a little obscure. This short video is about a mini-tripod that has been my favorite vlogging tool for about 2 years. It died earlier this week. Weirdly it was only a few hours after a friend told me about the SMOVE Smartphone Stablizer - which is basically a gimbal.... Continue Reading →
Casey, Your Knees Will Not Stop You!
I feel for Casey Neistat, I actually do. According to his latest video: His left knee creaks when he kneels. Presumably it is more noticeable when he runs. So he is concerned that he may never be able to run again. I gave up running about 2 years ago, at least for long distances, because... Continue Reading →
Move Forward, Look Ahead, Stay Focused
"Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. .... It's safe. I mean, what's the point of going on? What's the point... Continue Reading →
Reach Out to Grab Opportunities
https://youtu.be/Wg_wIH3uvZE What I like most about this video is what you can see happening in the last metre: ~ First and 2nd place slow down, presumably thinking they're so close to their goal that they can casually jog through. Yes, they're still going pretty damn fast, but just watch their movements, you'll notice they are... Continue Reading →
Persistence + Perseverance + Perspiration = Walking Again
See my right knee? It's the one on the left. I'm standing on it. It still aches, particularly after walking on a rocky beach from the Kingscote Jetty to the bird-house at Reeves Points, then up 75° incline - with my amazing 5yo son Jai alongside me, my Canon 7D and new zoom lens. I... Continue Reading →
