What I have stopped doing
Posted in Health - Body, Observations, Things I Like on January 27, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I’m not sure when it happened but I’ve noticed a total feeling of calm within recently, not a Godly type calm but certainly some type of spiritual calm – I’m sure its not enlightenment, an awakening or achieving meaning. But its refreshing…whatever this feeling is.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not floating on hallucianating mushrooms or [...]

I heard that there is growing enthusiasm in America, which may now increase in Europe for facial yoga – that’s right facial yoga!!!
Facial Yoga is designed to stretch the muscles in the face to keep you looking young. According to fans of facial yoga stretching your face into outlandish grimaces reduces wrinkles and worry lines.

Making Changes – Paying it Forward
Posted in Observations, Things I Like, health on February 14, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Human networks are exponential. Like the “pay it forward” concept – smiles, laughter and even good deeds are contagious. If you make 3 people smile, within 20 degrees of separation the entire world will be smiling. We underestimate our capacity to effect change because we underestimate the growth of an exponential function.

Recommendation – Polish Music
Posted in Music, Poland, Things I Like, tagged Polish Music on February 2, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Regular readers will know (I wonder how many blog articles are started with those four words!) that I am a big music fan – our CD collection now exceeds 2500 albums. Even when I download tracks from iTunes I still need to have the hard copy in the collection. There was a time when I [...]

At first I thought okay let’s create an error on the page so as not to have to write a meme after I got tagged by the insightful Wyspianski unwinding but then thought nah that’s rather churlish.

Coffee Heaven, Green Coffee, Planet Coffee and soon we will see Starbucks on every street corner in every major town in Poland. An estimated 300 coffee shops will open across Poland within the next three years according to one recent article in a Polish Business Magazine. Many of these Coffee Cafes are almost identical, except [...]
Netvibes could be Big, very BIG, HUGE!!!

I like to think that I have been pretty much at the cutting edge of Internet technology over the last 10 years – someone once even made a comment in the forward of a book they wrote that I was one of the individuals responsible for driving forward the Internet [...]
Wave of Sorrow

I find that when you know the story behind the making of a song or movie you appreciate them so much more. For example my absolute favourite movie of 2006 was Babel and after I watched the making of the movie I appreciated it so much more. The same can [...]
