I saw two interesting articles that were about achieving the same goal: To downsize using space saving techniques in order to simplify a dwelling. Yeah, pretty much the opposite of “MTV Cribs”.

Did you know that Almost 60% of 16-34 year olds use a phone as their primary timepiece? I haven’t worn a watch since my Mickey Mouse one fell off my wrist into Sydney Harbor when I was 11 years old. Actually, the only friend I can think of who wears a watch is a guy [...]

Basically, smart water has attempted a viral campaign starring Jennifer Aniston that pretty much mocks web culture. That’s like starting a grassroots campaign in France to abolish the [...]
I LOVE TED!! This year is just as inspiring and exciting as ever, which always makes it hard for me to decide what to write about!! Well, I’ve barely scratched the surface of all the talks I want to watch but 2008’s TED Prize winning, author Dave Egger’s talk got me so energized I have [...]
My friend is doing a teaching degree so I forwarded him this infograph. It kind of follows on from my last blog about kids and their ease with technology… aka “Digital Natives” He’s a “mature” student who has decided to explore teaching after a career in law.
