  • It’s Evolution Baby

    Revolution vs Evolution? Revolutions stand out, they get noticed, people talk about them, (they’re remarkable so to speak), but not everyone wants to be part of a revolution, they’re dangerous, noisy, violent places, where people get hurt… the old guard want to keep things the way they were, they’re happy, they’re comfortable with what they…

  • A Balancing Act

    In a recent post on Triiibes someone wrote “You Suck” as the title then went into how you shouldn’t be complacent & that there’s always someone out there, bigger, better & faster than you. This may well be, but beating yourself up and thinking you’re a pile of crap, isn’t a good approach or that…

  • All Those That Say Aye

    We’ve all been there, sitting in a meeting wondering “Why am I here exactly?” If you’re asking yourself, what’s the point of all this, what’s the outcome? Then your meeting will be a complete failure (for you at least), so stop now! Don’t confuse the purpose of an agenda, it isn’t there as a check…

  • Hey Jerrie (By Allee Willis)

    Yesterday Triiibes exploded, when 2,000 new members came knocking on the door, it’s been impossible to keep up or welcome all the new faces, who cover an incredibly broad range of people & talents. But there’s one that stood out from the crowd for me Allee Willis (& Wikipedia). You may not know the name,…

  • Standard Blog Icon

    As they say the great things about standards, is that there’s so many to choose from ; ) With the prevalence of blogging you’d think someone would have come up with a standard icon for blogs by now, well apparently not. A few months ago I was mulling over the idea that there isn’t a…

  • Take the initiative

    Someone can only take your hand & become a friend if your arm is already out stretched.

  • Being Listless Is So Invigorating

    I’m a strategist & planner by nature, I’m continually gathering enormous amounts of information, so I write things down, I have a note book that I’m always jotting ideas into, I make lists of all the things I have to do, oh & I just lied to you! Not a big fat lie, just a…

  • It’s For Charity Mate

    I didn’t really prepare physically for my recent snowboarding trip, while I still had an terrific time I realised that I’m not as fit as I used to be, and can’t spend the entire year between seasons sitting in front of a computer everyday without doing any exercise, then still expect to fly around the…

  • What The World Eats

    I followed a really cool link from Nina Yiamsamatha on Twitter yesterday. It lead to a series of photographs on the Time Magazine website, of a weekly shop for an average family in various countries around the world. A simple idea, yet a powerful way to highlight the differences between counties & cultures and the…
