Go on, inspire me

July 23rd, 2009

I find myself looking at the same websites all the time, despite knowing that there are millions out there.

I’d like to expand my horizons a little bit and so am looking for some inspiration.

So I’d love it if you could email me the URLs of some websites that interest you. I will post what I get as a list..

I’m open minded – show me what you’ve got.

It’s funny to see some of the variations of the humble USB drive that are available…

So THIS is how confidential information is smuggled in/out of the Vatican..

July update

July 20th, 2009

Hi everyone  – it has been a while. No idea why my feed program decided to re-spit out a post from January last week. Sorry about that – but it did remind me that I’ve been a little slack on the writing front – so here I am..

I’ve now been back in AU for 8 months now – frightening really.  My new job has been quite full on – since January I have visited Hong Kong,  Singapore, India (Delhi), Korea (Seoul), China (Shenzhen) and Taiwan (Taipei) for work. Some great experiences there – business is conducted very differently in Asia-Pacific relative to Europe.  Understatement of the year, I know.. The learning curve has been very steep but am enjoying the challenge.

I miss Europe – of course I do – who wouldn’t? (Big hello to any EUMEA people reading this) But there’s a lot of exciting stuff going on here in Melbourne which has made the homecoming really enjoyable. It has been great to see a lot more of friends and family than I had over the previous 3.5 years  – although I do feel quite behind on catching up with a large number of people.

Whenever I review what I’ve been listening to on my ipod I’m constantly amazed at what turns up on the list of most listened tracks.  The list below is reflective of the last 8-9 months. As always I’m surprised by the artists that DO NOT appear on the list..  many of my so-called favorites are simply not getting much of a listen these days.

That’s all for now.

and my first meal in India was..

India #1

I’ve just landed in Delhi, India where I’ll be the next 4 days – for work..  It’s 4am and a balmy 34 degrees.. I’m expecting it to be 42-44 degrees during the day while I’m here.. Let’s see how I hold up.
