What do you do on a day off?
Ironically perhaps, I thought this was a pretty good question to ask of fellow commenters on the 31 Day Comment Challenge. It’s a day off for me since I’ve done all the tasks so far and we’re roughly half way through the challenge. Where did those days go to? So when you’re not blogging, what

Well this was something I hadn’t thought of doing. A good idea is always worth ‘borrowing’ so I pinched the idea from the ever-stimulating Stephen Downes’ OLDaily e-letter this morning. He’s put together his own favourite photos of 2007. I’ve done the same. They say an image is worth a 1000 words, so here are

I’ve had a bit of a wake up call: I’ve become a work addict. Some of my recent blogposts have been turning over the issue of productivity which for me, means optimising the process to accomplish my work-related (day job) tasks with the minimum angst and within the minimum amount of time, and without sacrificing

Spending the week by the sea at Hervey Bay north of Brisbane, where the Shakespeare Festival has put down roots for its inaugural season away from home. The week has been full of media calls, watching the set emerge again (like magic, but really with the effort and expertise of the technical production team) from

Why is it that it takes an outsider to make one stop the frantic round of life, step off for a bit, and take time to see things as they are or to rehearse what might be. These past three days a dear friend from many years past and far off has stayed with me,

3 Weeks of Commenting: time for a break
Image via Wikipedia I’ve decided to take a break for a day or so and hit the challenge again in a flurry at the top of next week. Why? Well with all this commenting on other peoples’ blogs, I’ve actually neglected my own writing. I want to get back in the groove again. So my
