I was just thinking about…
I have started to ride my bike everywhere and love it. Gets me "to and from" faster and a great way to commute (as long as you look out for cars and pedestrians - more on the latter on another post). I was telling a friend about it and he asked me how long my... Continue Reading →
I've been chatting with a few people about creating and setting up small "business" ventures - what do to, how to do it, why do it, you know the drill. I'm certainly not an expert, except that I have done a few things, some quite successful, some not, many still to be determined. So before... Continue Reading →
I just attended an art/word experiment called Duality. Pair up 25 artists with the anonymous words of 25 writers and watch the creative process take hold. Absolutely loved it.

The environment created by the tribe conspired to bring these superpowers forward. But before sharing in these group superpowers, what did I bring to the table? Surely I had to have a few...

I just came off doing some work with a group of very intelligent, driven and generous individuals. What a fantastic 4-weeks (or was it 3 or 5 - who's counting when you are being challenged)! When you work with a great bunch of people, you come to appreciate the empowerment the collective can bring to... Continue Reading →
I have a thing about beauty. Not beauty in the traditional sense of the word (still love that type of beauty), but the inherent beauty in problems and solutions.
