BLOG Ship it and the power of less. Two things happened this weekend. One I filled in this "Ship It" book, I found it on a book shelf while cleaning my house. I was also listening to Leo Babauta "the power of less" (which is number two) as I polished away and was amazed at how many things in the book I am very confident I do.

BLOG Relationship's are the bread of life - how do you make yours? This blog post was motivated by three key things, Otto Frank talking about his relationship with his daughter, our mate Darren getting married and me reflecting on the nuggets I have learnt from you people in the last few years.
