Guest post by Cameron McGrane (FB | T) DISCLAIMER: I have no formal medical training. I’ve read a couple of blogs, watched a few videos and listened to “Born to Run“. I did trawl google on “Barefoot” and “Flat Feet” that only returned contrary views. This post is based on trial and error with references [...]
What follows is a comment I posted in reply to the following Andrew Bolt article that appeared in the Herald Sun on Tuesday the 12th of May. I don’t normally just report content like this, but felt pretty strongly about what was written and felt it important to point out where I think we’re at [...]
I’ve started reading the Peter Senge’s classic tome, The 5th Discipline this week. It’s a book which I have had for about a year, and has been consistently circling my sphere of influence for a while now. The book talks about how we can solve many of the issues we face in business (and thus, [...]
I came accross an article recently which helped to catalyse some thinking for me around the concept of Biomimcry, but also lateral vs verticle thinking.

So, let me lay it out… 1) Ant Colonies. Ross planted this seed. We chatted extensively [...]
The whole Generation Y issue is getting to me. As you may or may not know, I work in the World Vision Australia youth marketing department. Part of what we do, better than anyone else in that organisation (and, we like to hope someday, better than anybody in any market) is ‘get’ and understand young people. We [...]
Yes, the vicious ‘S’ word. This blog, my bastion of thoughts and ideas, is being spammed daily. At this stage, I am moderating these comments out – the only post to attract such troubles was the biomimicry post that went up a few of weeks ago. The one that talked about ‘sour grapes’ and the Battle [...]
