  • Serendipity

    ooops, I meant to post this a month ago, just found it sitting on my iPhone. Tonight I met an old friend / business partner I’ve not seen in over 14 years! I know crazy eh… but he still lives 7,000 miles away in Singapore, where we had our business. Anyway it got me thinking……

    The sun has made an appearance again, so I’ve shifted the office to my garden today… you gotta love WiFi

  • Aha Moment

    No I’m not talking about the 80’s Norwegian boy band I just stumbled across Aha Moment a website full of short videos of people decribing their Aha Moment. One that struck a cord with me was Siobhan Neilland’s Aha Moment… “My aha moment happened two and a half years ago, when I lost a baby…

  • It’s an Illusion – Meet Your Strawman

    I can’t remember how I stumbled across a presentation entitled It’s an Illusion by John Harris a couple of months ago, but I’m very glad I did, as it was a real eye opener. It’s 50mins long in total, but it’s time well invested I assure you. It’s an Illusion on BBC5.tv or YouTube “John Harris gives…

  • There’s Music in the Air

    I’ve been using Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba for years to pump audio from my Mac to my Airport Express… but I hadn’t realised they’d created a FREE app named Airfoil Speakers, that turns your iPhone/iPod/iPad or any Mac or PC on your WIFI network into a wireless audio receiver.
