There’s Never Nothing Going On | Proof
What happens when you think of nothing and a CNC router carves your brainwaves into rock?
The above.
Profound.
Found on the Ponoko blog although now gone, so another reference.

Sometimes There Is Nothing More To Say | Signal vs Noise
Watch. Think. [Re]act.
Just like Peter Drucker and Duke Stump this connected a few neurons in my head as it nodded in agreement.
Instead of sitting in quietness (as Mr Smith says) maybe it’s time to *create.
*not as a way to create more noise but as a way of adding value to yourself… or something…

The Art Of Career Change | Taking notes
From the wonderful School Of Life
Five deliciously taunting lessons from Roman Krznaric on finding fulfilling work:
1. Confusion is perfectly normal
-
-
- —changing career (and the prospect of doing so) is utterly confusing due to the paradox of choice plus we’re naturally rick adverse—we have to move beyond this
-
2. Beware of personality tests
-
-
- —they simply don’t work
-
3. Be a wide achiever, not a high achiever
-
-
- —nurture the many sides of who we are to be a portfolio worker or a serial specialist
-
4. Find where your values and talent meet
-
-
- —therein lies in your vocation
-
5. Act first, reflect later
-
- —make time for change. The ‘plan and implement model’ is backwards. Branching projects or temporary assignments.
How did you find the job that fulfils you?
Rilke’s Desk
Totally intrigued by this image of my literary mentor, Rainer Maria Rilke.
The bare room.
The sturdy desk.
The overbearing chair.
And then there’s the look… away… reaching… not to notice the scene but more as a gesture to placate the task in which the mind is now dutifully attending—beauty builds in the pause before the creative act!

2013 Visit To Portland | Seattle | Bozeman | San Francisco et al
Shooting hoops time with Obama…
Next summer I’ll be heading to the West coast of North America.
Will arrive into Portland, Oregon 1st July 2013 (depart 15th) and during those two weeks the current idea is to:
- attend World Domination Summit in Portland (5-7th)
- visit and spend a day or two in Seattle
- road trip to Bozeman, Montana and back
Then… will arrive into San Francisco on 15th July / depart 18th.
Have a couple of potential masterclass / internal speaking sessions to deliver for clients in the above locations and also intend to catch up with good friends (old & new).
Am always open for more opportunities to share my social media pedigree—if you’re interested please get in touch (will also be open for hopping on a plan elsewhere and extending my stay if the gig is cool enough).
