The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Liz Strauss has turned on the comments-microphone on within her latest article, allowing her 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... Continue Reading →
About two weeks ago we went to Kangaroo Island for a three-day holiday. Although it rained 99 percent of the time (thereby preventing me from taking my camera out of the house), I managed to capture the sunset on the return journey upon the SEALINK Ferry back to Cape Jervis. Thanks to flickr and careful... Continue Reading →
In 2007, 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses around Sydney (Australia) turned off their lights for Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year. Originating in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has now... Continue Reading →
An email I received a few days back was George Carlin's View on Age. This is a very amusing look at the state of mind of humans as they age. Yet aging is an inevitable part of life. As the years go by, our bodies change, and wrinkles and gray hair become our constant companions.... Continue Reading →

That's 40 times the total Australian population. Yet you still choose to inhale noxious fumes... Continue Reading →
Just a quick message to tell everyone to get ready for Steve Irwin Day on November 15th 2007. Like everyone, I am still dumbfounded that Steve is dead. Therefore it is easier to quote his own words that express how much we miss his "Crikey!", his amazing respect for the animal kingdom ... and now... Continue Reading →
This morning, we visited a camera store at Westfield Marion Shopping Centre to print 23 of my RedBubble photographs in 8"x12" format. We also picked up three small folders that can hold about 120 photographs in 6"x4" format. These folders will serve as 'easy-to-display' books for my online gallery in a real-world location. I'll share... Continue Reading →
My four day weekend was only meant to be for the U2 Concert at the AAMI Stadium - but today took a turn for the worse. Arriving home late this afternoon, we spotted white smoke drifting up the valley. Oh no, we thought, somewhere lower down the hill a fire had been deliberately started. Thinking... Continue Reading →
Ever wondered about the future of computers for your children? Or asked your inner child what life would be like for you if you had been born in 1989? Because many IT-nerds were teenagers in 1989. I’ve always wondered where life would have taken me if I’d been born in the 1980's, not the 1960's!... Continue Reading →
