Deep thoughts and the bigger picture

So we all heard the raves about this movie, “The Secret”, right?  Everyone was fascinated by the idea that our thoughts create our reality.  But now, a few years on, what’s happened? A lot of people tried it, didn’t get a fast car/mansion with it, and are now convinced it doesn’t work A few people [...]

I found this today on the blog of a Canadian educator. Love it. Love how collaborative it is. Read the credits at the end, and they span the globe, a perfect example of what they’re talking about needing to set up. I hope someone sees this who can set it in train for education in [...]

I recently signed up to do a course in online marketing, called the ‘Thirty Day Challenge‘. In it, I had to research a niche, then start building a content-based blog around it. Considering the fun I’d been having finding way out options to annoy my car-loving boyfriend, I chose the niche “alternative vehicles” and set [...]

I’ve just finished watching a documentary on SBS called the Six Billion Dollar Experiment. I’m fascinated by all things scientific, especially cutting edge and where the search currently lies in a field, so I couldn’t miss this one.

I was reading about a car crash this morning where the driver was convinced they’d gone through a green light, but the car behind them (and the car they plowed into) both saw it as red. Having also had someone almost walk right into me as the train doors opened heading into work, because they [...]

Reading through the paper yesterday, I came across yet another ad for the government’s ‘environmental’ approach.  Australia’s been suffering drought for years now, so water is a big issue and was huge in the lead up to the last elections.  What’s the solution proposed?  Everybody seems to love it but me, but the response to [...]

New technologies to communicate have already changed the approach ofthe last few generations. The advent of spell check has reduced spelling skills to the point that governments throughout the western world are frantically trying to address the rebound against them from devotees of the “Three R’s” approach. As you know, it’s no easy task to [...]

One of the most frequent questions I see in the communities I use online is whether or not the internet is likely to become a ‘supermind’ type entity.
