I have just returned from one of the best and unforgettable experiences of my life. This year, I was privileged and honoured to have been selected as one of ten global roaming reporters for Microsoft’s largest technology conference, Microsoft Ignite which was held in Orlando Florida. I heard that over 29 000 people attended the […]
Getting Ready for Microsoft Ignite
There’s 9 days until Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft’s largest technology conference and I’m excited to say the least albeit a tad nervous too. I would never have guessed that I would have been going to a Microsoft conference in the United States no less but I’m ridiculously happy that I am. The lead up to the […]
What I’ve Been Learning About This Week – Using a Hand Held Microphone
Okay this week, it’s all been about learning how to use the hand held microphone. I’m going to be a Roving Reporter for Microsoft Ignite, a technology conference in Orlando on 4-8 November and along with my other 9 global reporters, we’ve been getting some hints about how to interview people on camera. I’m no […]
What We Can Learn from The Joker
Well if you haven’t seen this movie yet, what are you waiting for? Last night, my husband and I who love to go to the movies regularly watched this one and I was in awe. My husband is a huge Batman fan and keen collector of comic books, graphic novels and the movies. There isn’t […]

Bits and Bobs of Different Projects I’m Working On
It feels as if it’s been ages since I last wrote in my blog. Every time I come into it, the same thing happens. I apologise for the delays between posting. Then I say how it’s always been at the back of my mind. Well, it has. I thought I’d quickly jot down some things […]
What I’m Doing to Prepare for Microsoft Ignite
It’s been a while since the last post and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t worry about writing on my blog. I always do. I have it at the back of my mind that whatever it is that I’m learning, I should be writing about my reflections. What happens usually is that […]
Lessons in Social Media Life
Recently, someone asked on Twitter whether there was any real value in keeping their LinkedIn profile and it started a conversation. You can read the threaded conversation here. A few people weighed into the conversation and who provided their own recommendations of what to do based on their own experiences of the social media platform. […]
Submitting for Community Reporter at Microsoft Ignite
It’s been a while since my last post and in all honesty, I’m not going to lie about it. I simply haven’t made any time to sit down and pull together some thoughts about my work or learning to blog about it. I’ve been too wrapped up in my own personal life and focused on […]
Humans Connected But Alone
via GIPHY Recently I’ve been watching a series on ABCiView called Humans. It’s a show created in the UK about a recent future where robots (they call them ‘synths’) are used for various manual labour situations in the home or work. Seeing these situations played out on the television screen makes me mind race with […]
