If I had been employed as I wanted after I graduated from University, I could have gone to a small to medium industrial design firm. There could have been anywhere between 2 and 50 people. I would have been paid the average wage for a graduate designer, obviously far below my real value.
As it […]
Many of us rely on our intuition to help guide us through every day life. This book delves into how much we can use our intuition and how much it can be completely wrong about a whole lot of things.
David Myers’ book is split into three main sections. The first is the powers of intuition, […]
As far as podcasts go, i probably tend to download much more than I actually listen to. When i’m at home i tend to want to relax and listen to some music which i know sets off a certain mood. When i’m at work i try and pump something into my ear which i find […]
“A good workman never blames his tools.” That’s how the saying goes anyway!
I may not always like the work i have to do, and there is a time in everyone’s working lives when they feel a little less motivated than usual about the promise of going into work to do what they have been […]
I came to the conclusion a while ago that optional warrenties offered by stores like Dixons, PC World, Comet, Curry’s and similar high street stores for electrical goods are at best a waste of time.

This weekend I didn’t choose to go out on the town and purchase myself the latest in Ferrari supercars, nor did I wander down to an airbase and ponder upon the lavish expense of a private jet. What I did, however, was purchase the latest in Colgate’s range of super toothbrushes.
The Colgate 360º Toothbrush encompasses […]

With all of the advertising that they do, and promotion to potential and existing clients about multi-disciplinary teams, I hadn’t seen much evidence of this so far. After todays meeting I am not too […]
As a freak accident, i found myself in a Barklays bank recently. Now, i’m not one for usually straying from the two banks i generally frequent, and how i got there isn’t really important. What I found there struck me as a little odd.
Barclays will take your old mobile phone off of you and then […]
The UK government has been rolling out the Chip and Pin system over the past few years, after it seems much of the rest of Europe has been using it for decades. There is a lot riding on the new Chip and Pin system, and within the first few months of the introduction of the […]
The need to relieve myself has compelled me to visit the little boy’s room whilst at work within the past few weeks on a number of occasions. This isn’t usually a problem (except for the on-going maintainence at work which forces me to circum-navigate Bath to get there), but today as i walked into the […]
Recently I heard a Technation Podcast with Dr Moira Gunn. The episode was with Gerd Leonhard, about the state of the music industry. One thing within the podcast got me thinking. Gerd mentioned the competition between real world music stores and online music distribution and sales. He explained briefly that he believed music stores would […]
