I’m no stranger to libraries. In fact, one of my delights is to check out different libraries in my local area and become a member. While some people accrue credit cards, I seem to have an increasing collection of plastic library cards that I like to fan out like a deck of cards to unsuspecting […]
Visit to Knowledge Market
Today I organised a co-working day at Knowledge Market which is a community space situated in the Docklands in Melbourne. It was another event as part of the social networking group that I created called Third Place. Co-working with #3PlaceMelb at the #knowledgeMarket in #Docklands https://t.co/rBdJqTxqT9.

Where’s Your Third Place?

Co-Working at the Nest
Today I went along to the free co-working day hosted by Nest Coworking in Thornbury in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. (I’m currently typing this blog post from their big community desk you see in one of the photos below). Joyce Seitzinger (@catspyjamasnz) had alerted me to this space to check out due to […]
Is Service Above Self A New Behaviour for a Networked World?
For the last few months, I’ve been busy creating a couple of new programs to share with you in 2016. You may have noticed I’ve been a bit more quieter on social media of late. You haven’t? Well, never mind. If anything, I feel as if I’ve been doing less tweeting of late and it’s […]
A Short Stint Into Film Making of Third Place
A couple of months ago, I saw an opportunity to assist a friend to build her photography and video production business and in return, learn more about the new medium of video that I am exploring. I always wanted to do a short film about my social networking meetup group called Third Place but I […]
What Have I Been Up To?
It’s been a while since my last blog post and admittedly, I do feel guilty that I am not spending a component of my time blogging so that I can make sense of what I have been working on and learning about. On the other hand however, I have been using two other methods to […]
Have You Blabbed?
Last night I hosted a Blab session for the first time (and stupidly, I forgot to take a screenshot of it). I was introduced to this new tool about a month ago when I saw a tweet in my Twitter stream advertising that a Blab session was on. I can’t remember the topic but it piqued my […]
A Short Stint into Film Making of Third Place
A long time friend of mine is preparing to set up her new business. Ever since I have known her she has always been learning. She is a qualified masseuse and a photographer (and currently in the process of getting her pilot licence) and ever since I can remember, she has been energised by her pursuits […]
The Village Square
Some years ago I had travelled to Greece, the country of my heritage and landed in Crete. It was the first time I had travelled to Greece and I remember that even though I could speak the language and shared the customs and traditions, there were still many elements that remained foreign and curious to me […]
