Wherever we turn, no matter what we’re doing, we have to deal with noise. Even in complete silence, we filter cognitive noise. This noise is audible and visual too. Our lives are being bombarded with noise. Useless and utter crap.…

Why?
There is nothing and no one waiting for you. Your life is yours and lived only once. Why do we strive for distraction? Time in space is all we have. Attempting to avoid reality. The…
The old becomes new again
Everything is cyclical…everything. We often loose sight of the bigger picture so its worth recognising and acknowledging the circular nature of our existence. Although cliched to the hill, ‘what comes around goes around’ and ‘what goes up…
Community
What does community mean? How do we define who is in our community and who isn’t? Geographical parameters work…well sort of…but what about online communities? Do online communities exist by virtue of a username and…
Waiting rooms
They’re never friendly and happy places waiting rooms. No one visits a waiting room for any purpose; other than to wait of course. I think what’s most frustrating though is usually the overwhelming feeling of…
Eggs will hatch
You may have heard the saying: Don’t count your chickens before your eggs hatch The basic premise is self explanatory. We have so many chickens and yet we still insist on counting our eggs. Instead of…
Visuals
Source: Pop Chart Lab I picture things. All manner of things. I draw pictures to understand. I visual scenarios to recall a detail I need to remember. I take a snapshot of a page as…
On the road
This is water
There are so many people going places; doing things; always in each other’s way all at the same time. Everyone is in a rush operating in some sort of vacuum, oblivious to their surrounds. If…
Building
Working with your hands, learning a trade, building something you can see before your very own eyes is a wonderful thing. Like the intangible effort, building something with your hands requires skill, concentration and effort. Little is left to chance. Unlike the intangible effort…
Tram No. 2092
From A to B is what I do. I carry hundreds of people and I’m at the mercy of each and every one of them. This makes me very nervous. What helps me stay on…
The marvels…
We can be here and there right now, at a point in time. Simultaneously engaging with our own thoughts, interacting with our fellow human beings in our physical vicinity and with those across the other…
People watching
People are amazing, they’re unpredictable. Not one person is the same. We are all different; both in appearance and in the way we think. Stopping to observe people on the street, at work, interacting with…
Tune in
Every now and then stop and tune in to what is happening around you, be conscious of your place. How does what you are doing [or not doing] relate to everybody else around you? What…
Terms and conditions
We live in a world of terms and conditions. Almost everything we do and almost everything we own are all subject to terms and conditions. From the toaster we use to the cars we…
Pulling faces
We are all very different. None of us are the same. Yet we are all connected. We all live and breathe along a continuum of time in finite space. Let’s embrace each others differences and…
Shapes around
Photography taught me to look at the world in a completely different way. When you study the art of photography (not on a formal basis by doing a course or anything like that) you learn…
Pack light, live free
Travelling alone for extended periods of time (in excess of 6 months and not really alone because there are plenty of like minded people around the world) teaches you many many things…but I think one…
∞ Infinity ∞
Infinity is a concept that can be explained in words pretty easily right? Something that has no end…it continues forever. I suppose its even easier to explain in pictures: ∞ Our reasoning can accept the…
Cafes, Coffee, Culture
I like mine strong, triple shot in fact. It helps me engage with my senses from the get go, every morning, regardless of how sleep deprived I might be. I’m also addicted to the caffeine…
