The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
On this gloriously sunny Saturday morning, I arose from my nights sleep filled with plans. First on the agenda was to post @rant's new camera bag off to him. Carrying it upon back and shoulders as designed, I started my trek towards town. About half away along I got to think about the words that... Continue Reading →
In November 2008, I wrote a post here (yes, right here) that criticized those who switch from IBM-compatible to Apple Macintosh. Instead of deleting it today in November 2023, I have rephrased the article more appropriately: When people often express their preference more generally by saying they're switching from Windows to Apple Mac, primarily due...

In case the moderators of comments on articles at the DailyMail News disapprove of my opinion, here is what I have to say about the £250,000 Dog House: Sounds like someone trying to get around council bylaws regarding extensions. Rather than having an extra lounge room, they've decided to call it the 'dog house'. Trust... Continue Reading →
About a year back I purchased the book "Flying Solo: How To Go It Alone in Business". Recently I joined their Facebook group - and starting leaving comments. Sadly I discovered on 3 November 2023 that none of the links to the comment page work anymore; I had them removed from here. There were many... Continue Reading →
It's amazing how many sites talk about lighting for photography! I was introduced to the strobist a few months ago, but not for the amazing lighting series he does, but for the information regarding how to promote yourself through photo forums. But today I went around in a wide arc from the Strobist through a... Continue Reading →
A few days ago I said I was going to get the Canon 3-pack of extension tubes. Yesterday I rang TED's, PW's, Camera.House and Diamonds to get prices. To make it more fun, I also asked for the price of a Canon EF 1.4x II Extender. Diamonds were the only one to tell me they... Continue Reading →
I need to find time to see a few good movies. After a discussion about "Being John Malkovich" with a work colleague (after she saw me reaching into the back of the stationery-cupboard), I was sent an email with a list of further movies I should watch. It's an amazing list of movies that I... Continue Reading →
You know, I've got this bunch of posts that dive into the whole "be yourself," "stick to your convictions," and "embrace the present" vibes. It's kind of my thing. Yet it's not just a fleeting thought; I often end up exploring why we should confidently shout "FUCK NO!" in different corners of our lives, whether... Continue Reading →
Despite being told not duplicate other people's posts, I am using John Chow's post about "blogging mistakes to avoid" to tell you how and why I keep a web-journal: Mistake #1 - Not Updating Have to agree with this one. I don't upload as much as the average blogger. Maybe it's because I have kept... Continue Reading →
