Taking the plunge with Spotify

I just upgraded to a Spotify premium account – primarily so I can have offline syncronised playlists across multiple devices. Of course, I could do this with iTunes but it’s not the same, with spotify for your monthly fee you can pretty much go exploring music – just jumping from track to track and artist [...]

Dreaming of UK

Had a strange dream last night – i will change the names to protect the innocent (I will call the American Glen, and the Australlian Bob). So i was in a huge pub in the uk and Glen couldn’t believe there was two beer gardens. So me and Bob went to the bar to get [...]

This morning

I am having one of those mornings where everything goes wrong, dispute this I am in remarkably good cheer. Highlights of this morning include (bear in mind it’s only 9.15 when I write this) Got up 10 minutes late Couldn’t find my keys, 30 mins late out of the door Missed a train by seconds [...]

Decentralisation

There was a fella called Piaget who many years ago ran a famous experiment Piaget’s mountains. He was looking at child psychology and trying to understand at what age kids learned to decentralize – i.e. look at things from another persons perspective. He had three mountains in a row and on had a house on, [...]

Giving support

Things are quite hectic at the moment – as I mentioned before I have a member of family with cancer and a lot of things going on with work as well. In truth I am doing fairly fine even though things are so busy. What really surprised me is what a lack of support and [...]

Ive had a couple of privacy concerns just recently, people snooping around jumping to half conclusions about things that have not been true. Ive always been fairly honest and open when it comes to having my site here and to be honest have never had issues before this week. Ive been fairly direct and honest [...]

Reflecting in peace

Theres two songs that i posted to my blog in the past that i have listened to a lot in the last few days (over and over in fact). They probably summarize my mood to a degree. They are: Its Going To Be Ok Affecting Lives The first song song i never really explained in [...]

Draining times.

Its fair to say its been a fairly emotionally trying time. There doesnt seem to be all the normal optomism of spring. Myself, i have a family situation going on, involving cancer, possible death, tests producing unexpected information and some very upset people who are buckling under the pressure of trying to “keep it together”. [...]

A surreal week

Last week was surreal for me. I can honestly say its the highest pressure week i have had in my current job. It wasn’t that anyone else applied any pressure on me – i do that myself. I had a hard deadline to achieve of friday – the whole week was spent prepping documentation for [...]

Another perspective on time

If you stop to think about it we have a really linear understanding of time, which is something i blogged on before; if your mind is open to the possibility that maybe we could travel forward backwards and even sideways in time then it should change your opinion of every day life. what it means [...]
