I think reading is the best gift you can give a child

Every since I met #Babybernie I have been thinking what is the best gift I could give him, what is the one thing that would connect to everything else? The one thing I come up with is reading, being able to read a book a week - so in 10 years he would have read 3,650 books - even if half of them are shit he is still doing well, I think you learn from shit books too. When I was little I could not stop reading, when I was 10 I read nearly every Enid Blyton book in two years, Magic Far Away Tree,

Ctr Alt Del. So while I was in Argentina....

SO I have been walking around all day thinking about what to blog about. We are back from four weeks in Argentina and everything shifted for the better. Just before we went I was at the end of my emotional string, not in a bad way - more like "Post Post Traumatic Stress." The end of 2014 was so much better than the beginning in my head - I just needed to get to Argentina and not kill anyone on the way there and I'd be done. I had planned it like this: 1. Lisbon Coworking Conference with Copa

No Complaint Diet

Introduce negative people to each other and then run away. Last year I was having breakfast in the kitchen at 90 Mainyard with Tori and started a sentence "Look I know this is a bit cruel and negative but I have to say that xxxx" She stopped me and asked well if it is like that why would you say it. I did stop and thought bloody hell, I do that A LOT. (Even though I don't think I do.) It is as bad as when people say "Look, I have got nothing against {insert ethnic, sexual orientation, religion

Should I write the title first?

Ok so I'll come clean, I have been thinking about this post all week. It was partly written and I was ready to go and then I was not. The one I had ready to go would have been way better than the crap you are going to read now, don't say I did not warn you. In fact I don't really know where to begin. So I'll begin here. Sometime last year me, Andy and Mitch were hanging out at Google in London and Mitch started talking about writers block and James Altucher - actually it was not about James g

My Berlin Airlift

One thing that has already happened with 'blogging everyday' rather than just 'writing everyday' is the 'getting started bit' - I thought it might start with a title, I have read soooooo many pages that say you need to start with a title. For me, at this moment in time it starts wherever it starts - because starting is half done. I have been walking around for about 30 minutes now getting ready to start. I am saying that out loud because for me stupid things always become even more stupid and t

I think the post I have been avoiding writing all day is this:

I am very happy here in Buenos Aires and don't really want to get on that plane at the end of the weekend. This has been one of the best trips of my life. I feel bigger, faster, stronger - that is a song BTW - I know what I mean. The blazing sun and blue sky that follows #Babybernie and I on the way to the super market to by drinking yoghurt in the morning will be missed, I am even scared what it will happen to me when I hit the rancid grey sky of London. When I step outside the door I can fee

Falling towards Tigre....

This episode is brought to you from my favourite place on earth, no not the front row of a David Bowie concert, the jetty of our friends house in Tigre, just outside BA in Argentina. I am still trying to work out how we are lucky enough to have friends that decided to ditch their flat in the middle of BA to move to the very inconvenient and very amazing Tigre. Tigre is a Delta outside BA, I thought Delta was an airline, but it is a recently formed collection of islands - recently I mean 200 ye

I think I am ok now.... and other bits

At a quick glance I could seem much more exciting than I really am, the last few weeks have been zooming to Lisbon for the European Coworking conference where I stayed in the Copass Camp with 30 other 'coworkers' from the Copass community. Then back to London where I am part of the team delivering the OuiShare Summit #6 which is split between Echo at London Legacy, 90 Mainyard, Verge Bar Brick Lane, Grub Club and Work Hubs in Euston and tomorrow the final Day is a Bar Camp / conference

“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come to the OuiShare London Summit and change the world?”

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #29

Racing home to pick up #babybernie - I noticed the date today and was thinking how much has changed in the last 12 months. I have been ambling around listening to "Lola's theme" by the Shapeshifters for nearly a decade (hells teeth - that long!) The key line for me is "I'm a different person, turned my World around - da da da daaa" - the first time I ever heard that song was coming into dock on the River Thames on a party boat.I love the song, really love it, but it also twists me. When I heard

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #28

Near my beloved 90 Mainyard there is the GIGANTIC swimming pool that was left there when the 2012 Olympic Games moved on. As well as walking past it a lot thinking 'now I have joined I really must go in there', #Babybernie has a swimming lesson in there every Thursday. We do it on this day because I look after him on Thursday's. Yes I only show up to work four days a week amazingly I get more done in four days than I ever got done in five days. Think about how much time you spend kicking the ty
