Like making old things new again. Enjoy working on a far away big tree/cow farm vs inner city digital stuff and with the NBN that's changing, creative lifestyles and digital content businesses. I have 4 degrees in psychology, media, literature, librarianship, management and business including a business PhD that explored how tech created opportunities in the music sector (as a lead indicator to other content sectors). Am fascinated by how people use digital stuff and emerging uses. Slow living, reject unreal or fast lifestyles, I like to know all about what I eat. Maintaining a professional hatred and boycott of Farcebook. Confused about whether to write in 1st or 3rd person on this site. Love animals and have always had them around - cows, horses, chooks, cats, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, budgies. Met lots of snakes too. Enjoy aesthetic immersion and favourite era is 1940-1959. Music obsessive not impartial to late nights watching bands. blah blah blah

Bad Girls & Wicked Women by Jan Stradling. isbn 9781741960433

The lives and times of 22 of history's most ruthless, ambitious women. Sassy, powerful, shocking, amazing, thrilling, dangerous, brilliant, vicious, cunning, unstable, tough-as-nails- they are products of their times, women who defied mainstream boundaries and ethics. These anti-heroines battled against the odds and often against the status quo, succeeding in turning the power structure, if only for a short time, directly on its head. Some of them were cruel, others visionary, yet others blinded by ambition or love. All were driven by a powerful combination of primal forces.
