Social Media Sucks
My recent Ignite Cardiff presentation (thanks again guys for allowing me to participate).
Not my best.
Not my worst.
Had a huge amount of fun putting the talk together though and currently developing a new ‘style/look’.
Please check out the other presentations as well.
Turkce Bilmiyorum
My four-day digital sabbatical in the city split by two continents meant:
- being woken every morning by the Adhan
- being kept awake at night by the barking dogs
- exploring the Blue Mosque / Basilica Cistern
- eating amazing food at 360
- practising my Türkçe Bilmiyorum
- spending some cherished time with a special someone
The above is the view from the flat where I stayed.

Press Pause Play
I want to see this.
“There has never been a better time to be an artist.”
Seth Godin (on how the internet / social media has changed everything)
Which means the only excuse now (for not trying), is you…
Ballpoint Pen Art
Check out the gallery of Juan Francis Cocasas who creates 10 feet in height pen art pieces.

My Stand-Up Desk
Inspired by other standup desks seen on the interwebs. Simply took my unused computer table and shoved an old IKEA self-assembled-free-standing-storage-type-shelves underneath. Low and behold a perfect height.
Looking forward to the next few days trying it out.

2011 Reflections
Instead of listing things to focus on like previous years (I’ve already done this over on the to-dopage anyway), time to embrace the reason we’re here :
“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.”
James Thurber
It doesn’t matter that it’s a new year or that we’ve achieved / failed things in the past one, what is of importance is:
Here.
Now.
This moment.
So, be happy.

I Am Here With You Now
I am here with you now.
I am here.
With you.
Now.
We’re in each others gaze.
We’re in each others arms.
We’re in each others heart.
We feel the warmth of our lips before the touch.
Hands in hair.
Around waists.
On our faces.
We match each other in sighs and nothing matters but this moment.
The light fractures in… my focus aligns as my eyes reopen.
You were there.
With me.
Then.
