Teaching Computers to Parents

Some years back, my parents were strictly against computers (as a matter of fact, so was I back in the long distant past where computers meant you were coding in Fortran). I recall my father stressing that he never wanted one of those blasted machines in his house nor would it take over his signwriting […]

Is Reblogging Cheating?

Have you ever heard of the term “reblogging?” I think “reblogging” used to be a “thing”, although it’s something that has been at the back of my mind but never fully explored. The reason it popped back into my head is that I get a few requests every year to reuse some of my blog […]

Live Lab with Desmond Herbert

Yesterday I was interviewed by Desmond Herbert (who I had first met on Snapchat) for his weekly Live Lab Facebook Live Show.  Every Monday he chats with people who are using social media differently in their work and it was an opportunity to share how I use it (in particularly, Snapchat) for learning purposes.  We […]

What is a Career?

A few of years ago after leaving the corporate sector to pursue a new phase in my life as an independent consultant, I invested in a year-long program with a business coach. Over that year, I blogged about what I was learning and applying to switch my mindset from “employee” to “self-employed consultant. At the […]

So here is a run down of what I was working on and learning in the week of 22 May.
