About Me

Travelalot, Vic, Qld, Cali, Australia
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

Paris Pics

OK when most people go to Paris they take photos of the Eiffel tower, romantic stuff, cheese, baguettes and vino etc etc.  I took photos of old furniture in a street market.... the pics don't do them justice though - this furniture was huuuuuge and immaculate, for example the shelves below and curvaceous drawers (at back of 3rd pic below) were at least 180cm high:

and spent a lot of time conjuring how to purchase/steal and ship said furniture to Australia.  It's doable because my carved wooden bed frame is vintage from France - bought it from 2 guys in Myrtleford had a business where twice a year they'd go to a town in rural France, buy up furniture and ship it back in a shipping container, but I think for personal reasons they closed a couple of years ago, and now I would worry about the wasted energy from transporting it here (but it is such a beautiful bed)  (and I must confess on prior trips to Paris I have taken pics of the Eyeful tower)....
