Back to a purpose in life

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

About seven months ago, I thought that I’d sit down for a quiet 60 minutes and try the Steve Pavlina method of determining my life’s purpose.  The before I could get up the gumption to give it a go, life kinda got in the way and completely derailed my plans.
So now that things seem to be [...]

A long time coming…

Friday, July 4th, 2008

When you take your own advice, strange things can happen.  Early this year I started the mammoth task of changing my life.  I had identified the need and what I was lacking and was poised to find out my true purpose when something truly monumental happened. 
I started to really analyse my life from the outside.  [...]

Sorry about the slight delay…

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

I had to change hosts and it became far more complicated than I first thought.  Normal service should have resumed now, and everything should be working.  If not, let me know.

The Perils of Time Travel

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

The world is really big. But regardless of how big the world is, we can’t all live in the same place. There just isn’t room.
The world is so big, in fact, that it has up to 39 different time zones. Hey, my country alone has seven. In order to organise all these time zones, there [...]

Sometimes you need a sense of the ridiculous…

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I woke up this morning with the feeling that I didn’t really want to participate too heavily in today.  I’m tired and my to-do list is full of things I really don’t want to do.
Then I sat at a set of traffic lights and watched in my rear-view mirror as the woman behind me used [...]

Ouch, my legs!

Monday, July 9th, 2007

Last Tuesday I plugged myself into Robert Ullrey’s Couch to 5k podcast and did some running.  And on Wednesday morning, I woke up with the distinct impression that my legs were just never meant to do things like that.  As Thursday was more of the same, I skipped the run (on the advice of my [...]

The effects of peer pressure on personal change.

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

I’ve been following a number of blogs on my early morning feed program for a while now, and just recently I added Jason DeFillippo’s blog to my list, for no other reason that his ambitious life change.
So I’ve been following for what is apparently the past 17 days now, and enjoying the glimpse of someone [...]

XPS M1210 - My New Laptop

Monday, June 25th, 2007

So I finally took delivery of my beautiful new laptop - a Dell XPS M1210. A 12″ beauty with 2gb of ram, a 160gb hard disk and the extra ‘multimedia’ pack which, in Australia, consists of the integrated webcam, a copy of Skype and some earbuds.
I’m in love.

del.icio.us - a stroll through memory lane?

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I caught the del.icio.us bug a little after the rest of the world, but since September last year I’ve been dutifully tagging my bookmarks and throwing them into my cloud.  I’ve now amassed a heap of ‘favorites’, however I find myself going back to them less and less frequently.  I’m still, even after almost nine [...]

Irony in Private Health Insurance

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

I find it extremely interesting frustrating amusing that my Private Health Insurer included a little brochure entitled “Giving back to members” with my latest 7% price rise notification.
Perhaps an example of giving with one hand; taking with the other?
