June 8th is the anniversary of my father’s death. Today marks the second anniversary. Amidst the frenetic pace of my round the world trip, I often found myself with time to reflect. Sometimes, I’d think about how I would have looked forward to sharing some travel stories with my Dad. Other times, I’d wonder what…
I was going to start this reflective, slightly narcissistic post about 2010 with a quote from Nietzsche: That which does not kill us makes us stronger My post was then going to be an angry rant about how, on balance, 2010 has been a terrible year – it has been a year dominated for the…
People who know me well enough will know that I’ve made a big decision this year. It’s now time to face up to that decision. With that in mind, I thought I should post some quotes on making decisions that I find inspiring and speak to the idea of having a positive attitude to decision-making.…

So today is September 11th. Five years ago today, thousands of people lost their lives in the largest terrorist atrocity in history. Almost three thousand human beings died at the hand of a backward theological fascism. I remember how my workplace dropped what it was doing and how everyone was transfixed by what was happening…
Who the Hell is Sean John? Try saying “Sean John” five times fast. Go on! Makes you sound like an lisping, fat-tongued idiot, doesn’t it? Now try saying “Puff Daddy” five times fast. This is getting boring, right? Now try saying “P Diddy” just once! Yep – once is enough, isn’t it? What the hell…
