An Ode to Shutting The Fuck Up.

Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you have to express it - especially if it may cause harm, upset or hurt to others. Feel free to shut the fuck up. If there are things you know little or nothing about, consider doing some research before you put your bullshit opinion out into the [...]

Ducklings are awesome.

It's spring and we all know what that means... ducklings! And fuck yeah! I live right near a river, so I get to see the ducks most days, and right now, there are baby ducklings everywhere. So if you're looking for something to do, find your local river or pond or lake or stream where [...]

Between a bike and hard place. (Everyone hates cyclists. Even other cyclists.)

The human defined season of spring may have started about a month ago, but natural, mother nature's spring really kicked in this week when she was good and ready, with some glorious sunny days. So I’ve taken the opportunity to ditch the car and ride my bike to work these past few days. I’m lucky [...]

Why ‘vanity metrics’ are fucking bullshit.

In recent times I’ve seen quite a few people in the business and marketing bubble say “oh, but people are talking about it so it must be working”. What a load of shit. This isn’t just dumb logic, it’s fucking idiotic. And anyone who says it should promptly slap themselves over the back of the [...]

What I like about the new tourism ad everyone else hates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyndIVod4k One thing I always find fascinating, is how easy (and popular) it is to tear something to shreds, without being able to offer one single decent suggestion about what else you could do better instead. And if ever there was something South Aussies are good at, it’s having a big fucking whinge. Perhaps it’s [...]

Scarlet Robins are complete assholes.

Many years ago, like a fucking eternity ago, I studied with Tony Robbins over in America, and one of the things I always remember, along with how to walk on fire of course, a skill that hasn’t come in as handy as I had hoped, was a thing he taught about when someone makes a [...]

Art. Success. Money. Validation. Pop music. And your ‘internal barometer’.

A while back I presented to a bunch of young entrepreneurs and suggested that money was a terrible way to measure success. And I honestly believe that. I’ve since added that it’s a pretty fucking excellent way to pay the rent though, so I don’t for a second mean to suggest money is completely unimportant. [...]

Rainbow Running.

A few weeks back, I made a last minute decision to run the Murray Bridge Half Marathon with a massive rainbow flag. It wasn't something I dreamed up over time and planned meticulously to be some comprehensive campaign. It was originally a one-off thing born of frustration that people in the LGBTIQ community are constantly, [...]

How my gaiters changed my life.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m scared of lots of stuff including all sorts of creepy crawlies… and snakes. Especially snakes. Australia has twelve of the top ten most dangerous snakes in the world, and I’m scared of all 172 of them. Even the ones that aren’t dangerous. 

They scare the absolute shit out of [...]
