A Really Clever Use of Twitter
I have been using twitter for a little while. I started using it for a few reasons. Mainly to see how it works (the dynamics of tweets, conversations, and the social aspects), and what can be done with it for personal and business reasons. What better way to find out about it than start an [...]
A long (mostly non work) week. But still stressful…
I spent the week down in Hobart due to a family emergency. My dad had a health issue, and I flew immediately down to Hobart on Tuesday morning. I had spent the day in Sydney on Monday (long day), spent all week on Hobart and just got home yesterday. A long week. Thank God my [...]

Ok, for those of you who expect this to only be a ‘business blog’ turn back now, or click a link! I feel compelled to write about my thoughts today. Yesterday, my grandmother, 94 years of age, passed away. She would have been 95 this week. The phone call I received from my mother last [...]
