Before we get started, I’d like to take this opportunity to express how much the earthquake in Christchurch has left me feeling sad. I love Christchurch and really enjoyed visiting last year. The destruction that it has suffered is beyond comprehension. I can’t imagine how residents must be feeling, especially those who have lost loved ones in the disaster.
Google set up a crisis response page which has a lot of information and resources on it, as well as footage. It’s a good place to find out more about what has …

Welcome to et another edition of TGIF. I hope that you’ve had a really good week, and that you’ve taken some time each day to center yourself and chill out, It’s to easy to get stuck in the roller coaster feeling of a good project and lose perspective without meaning to. Creating physical space creates mental space.

Welcome to yet another edition of TGIF, here on i-thought. I hope this finds you having had a fabulous week full of amazing new ideas and ponderous thoughts. Some pretty awesome projects must have been initiated and a lot of new directions embarked upon. I sometimes wish I could visualize all of that, to fully appreciate how dynamic and resourceful we are as a whole. Have a cracking weekend, and make sure you disconnect and have a little boogie too (even if it’s in private).
Without further ado…

Welcome to another edition of TGIF here on i-thought. It’s been a really hot week here in Sydney, and I hear that it’s been pretty cold in New York and the western hemisphere. I still strangely think of summer as being in July time and winter round about now, even though I’ve been here for over 2 years now. I won’t bore you with banter…Oh, btw I switch “tune of the week” for “app of the week”.

Welcome to another installment of  TGIF. I hope that you all had a really good week and that you all got to learn something new, do something new and see something differently. Better still, that you saw something ordinary in a new and exciting light. I haven’t decided how to name each TGIF post yet, so I’m playing with using a bit of one of the quotes this week. Have a good Friday and enjoy the weekend!
