That’s me in the corner….. I have been thinking why things annoy me. Most of the time people don’t really set out to annoy me – I get annoyed with them. Then I get upset and they will never know. If you think about it you are flattering yourself if you think people sit around […]
What do you most know about #blogging Bernie?
What do you most know about blogging Bernie? Is a question I am never asked. If I was an industry expert and was ‘often’ asked that question I’d be able to start this blog by saying ‘I am often asked by my clients…’ I have to say by this stage of the game it is […]
Why blogs beat podcasts….
I had to stop listening to podcasts. Every time listened to one I would copy something said into my own podcast. I craved to be part of the podcasting gang. “I listened to your episode”was what I thought podcasters would expect me so say. This meant I listened to every episode just in case they […]
Why I’m not a writer – YET
Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. “Why you are not a writer” is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I […]
Why are you so quiet Bernie?
It is not I have gone into a coma, it is that I feel significantly more relaxed and when I don’t feel relaxed I meditate – some times the gap between being ‘edgy’ and un-relaxed is a little larger than I’d like. One of the best things about 90 Mainyard is the HUGE Olympic Park […]
What on earth am I doing on this blog?
If I wrote out all the amazing ideas, strategy and content in my head for this blog on napkins they’d surely make a pile big enough to cushion the landing of a small elephant from falling from space. Please don’t ask how an elephant got up there in the first place. Anyway, I digress. And […]
Write as I am.
So here how the day goes. Or rather how my writing goes. What I think I mean is “how my writing does not go.” This time I am aware of it. I wake up, I POWER out cutting edge prose on 750words.com and then get ready for something. Does not matter what, it involves trying […]
Neill! Neill! Orange Peel!
So #babybernie has moved it all up a gear. As I write he has piled up the cushions from the sofa and is lying on top of them by way of protest. The ‘disruption’ is over cooling down his porridge which spoon to use. You would think I had put all his toys and his […]
Rescue Me
So when in doubt write. Somewhere I lost my rhythm today. I think I lost my rhythm sometime on Saturday night. I was heading for a good nights sleep and woke up Sunday feeling like I’d been in a drinking competition and lost. The main spanner in the works is that I do my best […]
LinkedIn – YAWN
Sorry kids. I am pretty much done with LinkedIn, in fact the main reason I keep it is because it is easier than a CV. (A what?) As an aside… I am amazed at how many agencies and tech companies who are on the bleeding edge it ask for a CV. Even for contracts and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
