Australia Post’s new app and the potential for a Post API

There was a Twitter conversation today which got my attention. It seems Australia Post is going to be releasing a new app, for iPhone and iPad, which allows you to do a few amazing things. I wanted to speak about the features, but also what this makes possible in the future. Can you imagine a [...]

Post PC Intimacy in Enterprise 2.0

I saw Jules Hughan tweet this video earlier this morning and marked it to watch. I’ve done that, and it’s a great little 3 minute clip. It’s of Path founder and CEO David Morin. The video was great, because Dave talks broadly about where he sees social technology and the internet going. He talks about [...]

VoiceBunny.com allows you to record text quickly

I was going to post about something else tonight, but stumbled upon this great new service called VoiceBunny and wanted to share it. VoiceBunny allows you to quickly source a voice recording for anything you need. It allows you to submit text to the site, and turn that around into a professional grade recording in [...]

Give yourself time to learn a new tool

Today I want to follow on from yesterdays post about making things happen by sharing a tip about how you can learn new skills and new systems in the workplace.

Tick. Getting things done and making stuff happen.

Zaana popped up on Twitter earlier today and asked Ross and I what our approach was to keeping track of the things that we had done. It’s a good question. How do you keep track of the stuff you’ve achieved along your journey so you’re aware of the good job you’re doing? Now, I don’t [...]

Staying mindful when you’re straining to get it all done

It’s been a really busy day for me the last few days. Busy in a good way. Work has consumed me, and that’s been ok. Sometimes this worries me, and it has at various times over the last few days, but I’ve reminded myself that it’s just part of the process of moving at velocity. [...]

Are you coming to Trampoline Sydney?

When I moved to Sydney two years ago I always hoped and planned on running a Trampoline here. Well, it looks like we’re about to do just that! Working with the awesome Caroline McLaren and with some help from Pat we’ve just announced that Trampoline will be happening in Sydney on Sunday, April the 15th. [...]

How do you use email?

Joe Robens posted something quite a while ago outlining how he uses email. I’m always a fan of these posts because it gives me an insight into how serious operators (like Joe) manage the flow of opportunities, collaboration and ‘stuff’ through their lives. I’m a fairly big fan of the GTD methodology myself and have [...]
