The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
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 →
I made the suggestion upon plurk for photographers to choose the best twelve photographs of 2008 (either one from each month or simply the favourite twelve) from their Flickr photo-gallery. Within an hour, I had chosen and published my favourite photographs of 2008. Over the last few days, three of my plurk/flickr friends also took... Continue Reading →
I was digging through my archives looking for interesting photographs that had people in them to test the Orton Effect upon. When I found this, I changed direction. I figured I'd have more fun breaking this into three separate layers so I could put some colour back into the wall-art whilst making the wall monochrome.... Continue Reading →

I enjoy using GIMP to manipulate my photographs. So much so that when I found this photograph on @Rant's flickr gallery, I spent... Continue Reading →
I give to you six interesting facts about me that you most likely would not know. Whilst you all should know that I am a U2-fanatic, that we have four cats, that I like photography and that I love my wife, you probably don't know about these six interesting facts: 1. Round the Rock Collection... Continue Reading →
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 →
This started as a comment to Shai Coggin's Decoration Weekend (where her small family enjoyed two days of covering the interior of their home with coloured reflective paper products) that grew into something worth publishing here. The wife and I have collected enough decorations over the last few years to wrap the earth twice, and... Continue Reading →
