Brand Me
« Previous EntriesUpdate from beyond the Squiggly Lines: What projects am I working on currently?
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009There has been a lot of news recently. A lot has been happening in this little world of ours - one night a few weeks ago I awoke to a great email from Ross Hill that made me aware that overnight Zach Klein had been hired by Boxee, Jeffery from Threadless was joining Digg and that Google had aquired ReCaptcha. That’s […]
From Vision Drive to Corporate Drive
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Recently, my life journey has taken me to some amazing places - including helping to set up www.learnaboutpoverty.org, working at World Vision Australia generally and taking part in some pretty alive communities such as Start Up Camp Melbourne, Melbourne Jelly (intermittently, but I aim to make it a more common thing), The Hive and serving on […]
Digital Nomad and my flexi-tools for value creation
Sunday, September 14th, 2008What are the tools that you use to get around town and do ‘your thing?’ In the last few weeks, I’ve seen an increase in the number of people posting about what they use to remain virtual in the new world of work. I think we are all heading towards a world which is not […]
Brand Me - The Chris Brogan eBook
Monday, September 8th, 2008I’m not a huge fan of the ol’ eBook - but I’m quickly learning to appreciate and value the contents of them as I go. The latest one that struck me - Chris Brograns ‘Personal Branding for the Business Professional.’
As most of you will know by now, I’m a huge advocate of the Brand Me […]
What are you installing?
Monday, August 25th, 2008I’ve come from a few beers with some pretty interesting thinkers tonight. Many a great thing was discussed over a Mountain Goat beer (or two) but one of the more interesting things to come out of our conversations was the concept of change management, and installing functions to support that.
As you would know, and as […]
Do you know how to play the game?
Friday, June 20th, 2008I’ve been ruminating about this post for quite a while and it is being finally ‘penned’ because of the quote I ran into yesterday.
“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.” - Wayne Gretzky
I couldn’t help but think about the world of entrepreneurship and innovation, where often a shot not taken is an opportunity […]
Innovative cultures and the Brand Me working style

Is this a test for productivity?
I worked from home today, which gave me some perspective about the way that I like to work as well as the ideals of the Brand Me theory that I have spoken about on this blog before. I awoke this morning feeling a little crook, and so (full disclosure here), […]
Bla bla bla…Knowledge Economy
Monday, October 29th, 2007Stumbled into this one today when searching for innovation unit’s at big companies. I reckon most would be disappointed. Just try the Google search “insert big company name Innovation Unit” and view the disappointment for yourself. Is there someone out there actually IN an innovation unit, can you please say hi - I’d love to […]
The Pmarca Guide to career planning…get on it!
Monday, October 1st, 2007Okay - if you have been reading this blog you’ll know that I am trying to live the Brand Me life. I started this blog mainly to try to capture my portfolio of projects going on, how I was juggling the opportunities presenting themselves in each one, and to start conversations with other who were […]
A stranger, from the outside!!! Pixar and the Brand Me world…
Monday, September 24th, 2007Yes, continuing on from yesterdays post, I thought it would be worth talking about the Pixar a little more.
From the Mavericks at Work book I wrote about before, there was quite a good section which looked at some of the inner workings of the film company (valued at somewhere between 7-10 billion USD!).
“It’s fine to […]
