The Global Audience

In my comment trails during the week, I feel like I’ve unwittingly started a few spotfires and it’s only after re-visiting a key few blogs again that I realise conversation has flared and is burning brightly (but hopefully not out of control). Example one – I left a comment on Chris Craft’s blog about my [...]

Gatekeepers Inc.

I haven’t done a comic strip for ages but the recent conversation on the blogs of John Travers and Peter Ruwoldt has inspired me. This is Part One…another four panels to come when ready. Update: Here’s Part 2.

Anonymity used to be reserved for those of us who were just starting out but it now seems to be the province of the [...]

Hugh’s Latest Cartoon.

I thought of Mike when I saw this latest Hugh McLeod cartoon.

Stop And Reflect

We had an interesting exercise at our final staff meeting for the term where we had an A5 sheet of paper with a six cell table printed on it. In the six cells were writing prompts that were designed for reflection and some forward planning. I actually found it hard to really identify that I [...]
