About Me

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

thought for the day

excerpt from Umberto Eco Foucault's Pendulum p.50:
You live on the surface, you sometimes seem profound, but it's only because you piece a lot of surfaces together to create the impression of depth, solidity.  That solidity would collapse if you tried to stand it up.  What others call profundity is only a tesseract, a four-dimensional cube.  You walk in one side and come out another, and you're in their universe, which can't coexist with yours.
