A while ago, Mike Smith from 10X Bendigo asked if I posted about work experiences online. I would love to as interactions with people who think differently from me are always a rich source of learning. However, whenever you read something you bring to it your own meaning, drawn from the background of your life [...]

How much of your routine is preventing you from reaching your goals and dreams? Or more precisely, what are you willing to give up and say no to in order to succeed? To find the time you need. That’s the question I asked myself on Friday and this time I listened to my answer instead [...]

I’m now using Goodreads to track, rate and comment on the books I’m reading as part of my annual 50 book challenge. I’ve updated the 2009 list and will have 2008 posted once complete. Thanks to Jack Vinson’s post for the idea.

Starting April 2008 I set myself the challenge to read fifty books in a year (April to April). My goal was to radically increase my knowledge by developing a habit of daily reading. I have now posted the details of the challenge itself, last year’s success and this year’s progress.

Yet a wiki platform is intriguing, especially with the latest work that we’re [...]

Four weeks ago tomorrow I promised my wife and family that I would find full-time work. Though I have been working on Successus for the past three years as a full-time effort my family could not sustain the low levels of income any longer. Then, last Thursday, I was offered a role as a financial [...]

The Squidoo page I’ve created for The Ontology of the Human Observer has a lens rank of 2916, up from the 4000′ish it was a couple of days ago. I have no real idea of how the rankings are created but that seems good to me.

I was interviewed by a recruitment firm today. The kind of interview you have so that you can be on their books; meaning I’m categorised in their database. Except that I’m not. I’m not sortable. Despite it being a strange phrase my bigger concern is narrow mindedness of the system the recruitment firm is using. [...]
