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

Yay Obama


here is some interesting stats: http://adultaddstrengths.com/2008/11/05/obama-vs-mccain-social-media/

I think the whole world is breathing sighs of relief and euphoria over the Obama win - wonderful, momentous and about bluddy time. Now back to local matters.....

I met 2 people last week that I'd call online addicts. One of them said she was online entirely through the day and night. She usually has about 70 tabs open on the internet at once and emphasised she reads everything on them all. I asked her if she ever finds time to get out and exercises etc. She responded that she rides a bike, an exercise bike and places her laptop on the front handle bars..... Another one could not get through half an hour without opening his computer and checking stuff online. His attention span was all over the place, very short term. They reminded me of me 2 years ago.

But another point is that they both have brilliant brains and are very very switched on. It seemed like they had electricity in them.
