A Moment to Mourn for a Stranger

I never knew Steve Jobs. But my life has been forever changed by his works. After unsuccessful career moves and a frustrating decade of PC proficiency, I bought my first Macbook Pro. I delved into the design, the usability, the ease of computing. I started a hobby, and then a career, as a web designer [...]

Easter Present for my Fairy Daughter

By |2016-12-26T14:54:09+13:00April 24th, 2011|Excellence, Family|

My daughter has a dream-friend called Moonhorse. She visits Moonhorse in her dreams, and he flies with her up to the moon, where they have friends (like Yojo the Unicorn) and they play games and have adventures. A few weeks ago, Indilea made a painting for Moonhorse, and wanted me to leave it out on [...]

Amazing pants.

Last week, I was introduced to Thunderbolt Sportswear. I’ve been hooked. These pants retail for $188. They are black, they come in a jeans cut, and the fabric is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It is durable beyond belief, but most importantly, stretchable in every direction. I put these pants through their paces last week. [...]

The Magic of Caffeine

Really, why do I bother trying to work without coffee? It's only after I've been sluggishly pulling myself through make-believe-working, when I look up from my web surfing and look at the clock, that I realize I've wasted precious hours by not being focused and productive. I put on a pot of dark, thick coffee, [...]

Expendable Salespeople mean a Sluggish Economy

By |2010-10-19T16:53:54+13:00October 19th, 2010|Business, Excellence|

Jobs are so scarce right now, and employers are so hesitant to outlay capital, that the standard default worth of any given salesperson is straight commission. Go out and sell my stuff for me, and I’ll give you a piece. It sounds nice in theory; performance based pay means you’re not carrying any dead weight [...]

Busking

By |2010-10-03T22:52:09+13:00October 3rd, 2010|Excellence|

Busking (v): The practice of performing in public places for money. It’s quite an experience to have your very last dollar in your hand. The last time I had this experience, I shrugged my guitar off of my shoulder, opened my case, and started playing for passerby.  Some people take a year off college to [...]
