For my regular readers out there, you’ll notice I’ve been blogging consistently each Monday afternoon for several months… until last week. I missed my deadline for posting and was quite displeased with myself for doing so. That being said, missing my streak gave me time to consider the concept of the streak, how I feltContinue reading “Being flexible with your own schedule”

Saying “You’re Welcome”
I pride myself on being someone who is keenly aware of the underlying meaning of words and the ways in which we say them. Being this way is both a gift and a curse, yet it forces me to be very conscious of the words I’m using to express myself. This is all well andContinue reading “Saying “You’re Welcome””
Words which change meaning and how they work
Looking back, I have fond memories of the “early days of the internet” (well, as we see them now, anyways) where I’d get home from school, hop onto the computer and chat using IRC (Internet Relay Chat), mostly with others I’d seen at school not an hour or two earlier that day. While at theContinue reading “Words which change meaning and how they work”

Reflections on 2014
2014 was a tough year. The toughest year for me, yet. I’ve been debating for a few days whether or not to write a reflections post. I’ve just returned from my first gym session of 2015, and feel pretty positive, so I reckon what better time than the present to write this. This year pastContinue reading “Reflections on 2014”
Forming a writing habit
I’ve always enjoyed writing. I’ve also always enjoyed blogging, and have tried regularly to form a blogging habit. Over the past few months, I’ve managed to break several bad habits (eg: checking my emails on my mobile phone) as well as craft some wonderful new habits, such as a daily 5.5km walk with our beautifulContinue reading “Forming a writing habit”
A quick word on inspiration and driving output
What is inspiration? Where does it come from? How can it drive productive output? These are all valid questions. At this moment, it’s a little misty outside my window. It’s early and I’m almost on my way to a nice hot cup of tea. This doesn’t seem related to the post at all, does it? ItContinue reading “A quick word on inspiration and driving output”
If content is king, design is queen
The phrase “content is king” is splashed around so much these days. Content is the “meat and potatoes” of your website, and can be the reason why users return, as well as being one of the core aspects of successfully optimising your website for search engines. What about the design then? Does having “good content”Continue reading “If content is king, design is queen”
I got a Moleskine
Jeepers. One post in and the mini writer’s block seems to have vanished. Awesome! 🙂 Anyways, the topic at hand… I got a Moleskine. I’ve heard people raving about these for ages and thought I’d do some research and maybe get one. The fact that they look awesome definitely played a role in this asContinue reading “I got a Moleskine”
