Australians work longer hours

In: Work

29 Oct 2008

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,24569699-5005370,00.html
A study in Sydney indicated that we (Australians) work longer hours than almost anyone else in the world. From what I’ve observed in my work place, this really doesn’t seem to be the case, unless you’re a manager or a director.
Perhaps it’s just me being alien to the wider work force of this country, but [...]

India: The employees we never had

In: Work

28 Oct 2008

We recently used a web development team from India to help us out with some work that we had. We don’t make a habit of always using their services however we did notice the amount of Indians who responded to our job requests.
The outsourcing revolution is here. You’ll definitely notice it in the call centres [...]

Richard Templar – The Rules of Work

In: Books| Work

27 Oct 2008

Just reading this book – The Rules of Work by Richard Templar. Amazon.com: the rules of work.
Succinct, straight to the point, no nonsense approach to how one should be in the work place. Of course, being one of those ’secrets revealed’ books, it carries an air of superiority about it that feels so, oh I [...]

Summer Project 2008/09: Kallaroo Alphabet

In: Graphic Design| Typography

22 Oct 2008

In my last few posts I keep referring to summer. Summer is my active season. I especially look forward to that 2 week break from work that we have to have.
Throughout December and January, I will be working on a summer project. For 08-09, I continue my zest for typography, and I will be hunting [...]

Gossip is the new news (and has been for quite a while)

In: Family| Technology

14 Oct 2008

Turned on my computer tonight, and as my Windows Live Messenger opened, as many of you know, the Live Messenger pop-up box appeared. Now most of us take the liberty and close it immediately, however one partcular headline caught my attention. Notice 2 things about this screenshot. The ’slider’ is set to the extreme left [...]

Bring on cricket season (which means summer’s approaching)

In: Sport

12 Oct 2008

I can’t believe how fast this year has zoomed by – I remember the time I went to Busselton with some mates on December 31 2007, and returning home the next year, the next day.
I look forward to that 2 week stint in December (where work has called a mandatory holiday) where I wake up [...]

STADIUM Leaders Retreat

In: Ministry

12 Oct 2008

Every year, the STADIUM leadership crew put on a leaders retreat to relax, refresh and to revitalise (3 r’s, how convenient) us – and to celebrate the year we’ve had (And what a year we’ve had!). We started on Friday night with paintballing, and then stayed overnight at the church.
If you have Facebook, check out [...]

Reflections of Singapore: Near Misses

In: Travel

7 Oct 2008

Here is a list of events that went a bit ‘off’ during and after our trip.

When we were about ready for take-off, the pilot announced that the airport had to be evacuated. He was anticipating an hour’s wait on the tarmac before the crew could come back and ensure the plane left off. We only [...]

Reflections of Singapore: Typography 1

In: Travel| Typography

6 Oct 2008

Singapore had so many amazing experiences – from $6 haircuts (which took 1.5 hours) to million dollar views (on top of Swissotel), the whole experience was incredible.
Along with other South East Asian countries, Singapore had a sometimes hilarious mix of east meeting west – but I must say, Singapore is the most ’savvy’ country out [...]
