It’s actually Day 2 starting as I write this. It’s a glorious spring week here at the Gold Coast in Queensland. Lots of temptations to lure away the conference delegates, not the least of which is the gorgeous beaches … but! We’re here to soak up the good stuff, and that’s the usual round of
Continue reading ...I’ll be posting daily from the AUC Conference at the Gold Coast, Queensland this week. At least until conference close on Wednesday. This is going to be a test of my own resolve. I imagine there will be a conference blogsite, probably closed to all but participants, and I’m not sure whether sessions will be
Continue reading ...I’m packing for the AUC Conference starting tomorrow. I’m packing anxiety too. Why? Because I haven’t done the killer Keynote slideshow to accompany the paper to be delivered Tuesday. So it was nice to re-read the marvellous Merlin Mann’s posting How I made my presentations a little better of some time back … and to

I am far from being a pro-blogger, but I write about what I know and love. I’m also in full-time work, have many interests and a

If you want to be inspired by a mover, shaker, thinker or doer in just about any field, check them out at the TED Talks page.

The word hubris springs to mind … me thinking I could use the learnings from the 31 Days challenge to leverage the build of a new blog I’d
