« Previous EntriesI’m participating in Blog Action Day - are you?
Friday, August 29th, 2008I got very excited this morning when I stumbled upon this little beauty whilst reviewing my RSS feeds. The concept is the Blog Action Day, and it’s happening again this year on October the 15th. This years theme: Poverty.
As most of you would be aware, I work at World Vision Australia, which focuses on providing […]
X Rated employers: For adults only.
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007Rant: Companies should be treating their employees as adults. I think that people, generally, are smart and intelligent. Which is why I tend to cringe at the horribly cliched, tried and true values and mission statements that are floating around at the moment. Read any corporate web page/annual report/csr report. Boilerplate. We care about customer service. […]
A great giving proposition. How ‘made to stick’ meets social gifting.
Sunday, December 16th, 2007How do you get a product to appeal to a certain market, get your brand to stick at once, and then make people proud to wear it? One of the better reads I had this year was the book Made to Stick, by Chip and Dan Heath, who also write in Fastcompany monthly. The book […]
Motorhead Messiah - must read
Saturday, December 15th, 2007I highly recommend checking out this article, in last months Fast Company. It captures some really amazing possibilities around car emissions and the future of auto-construction. Even the ‘Govenator’ is on it!
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 […]
Dopplr - is anyone part of the top 100?
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Check out this post this morning from the folks at Dopplr. I’m not cool enough to be invited to anything like this, and to be honest, I am no global traveler (would like to be, but still working on it). I am more interested in seeing what the marketing/PR potential is for a Web 2.0 […]
Documents so far..think free or something else?
Monday, September 24th, 2007I thought I might open this one up…I had an email from Ross (so far, commenter #1!) outlining that whilst the thinkfree.com site was alright, Scribd might be a better and more social, web2.0 option for sharing docs. Looking at their site, they seem to have better intentions, namely creating the worlds largest open source […]
Pixar - 20 years of animation
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007Today, I finally got the chance to visit the Guggenhiem and Pixar, 20 Years of Animation, exhibits at NGV and Fed Square. The Guggenhiem was fantastic, and well worth a visit if you get the chance before it ships of-shore again on the 7th of October…but the real gold was to be found at the […]
Street Lights 2
Thursday, September 20th, 2007So, little more than 24 hours since I first posted about the street chandelier, I happened to be in the area just a couple of hours ago and got the treasured ‘night’ shot. lol - here it is…
Street Lights in the City
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007Quick one today - check out this ’street chandelier,’ which I saw being installed in a small lane off little bourke street a few days ago. Similar to the ‘hanging safe’ that used to be just of Tatersals lane.
Very cool - then I realised it was a council initiative…lol
Still though - I like it…Can someone […]
