It’s not how big your number is; it’s what you do with that number that counts. Alina Tugend writes in the New York Times about our society’s preoccupation with counting things as if assigning a number to something makes it valuable.

My itinerary for my upcoming Australian visit has largely converged. I land on the 22nd of May at around 6:30 AM, but that will give me what will likely be a grueling day of staying awake to get on schedule, and then depart on the 1st of June, no doubt weary but happy.

They say that our school years are the best years of our lives. But for many children, that is untrue. About a year ago, I wrote a personal account of an incident during my primary schooling that shaped my young adulthood. In That'll teach him , I recounted an incident where I asked a question in class, and the teacher ridiculed me. It was a bad experience.

Harsh truth: More often than not, people leave their bosses, not their company. I was one of these. I loved my job. I was great at my job. But I had no real rapport with my manager – his choice, not mine. He let me do what I wanted – I appreciated that – but we never spoke about my performance or my future; he had no interest in what inspired, encouraged or engaged me.

Can use images and video with text and move the text separately from the object, something many RCATs can’t do because they use grouping which cannot be un-grouped.

An email headed ‘Looking at things the right way’ recently landed in my inbox. It was a series of photographs about shifting perspectives: things that look perfectly normal from one view but a little odd (or wonderful) when looked at in another way. Some are cute, some are rude, some are funny, but I’ve included a couple of my favourites below. At around the same time, I found myself chatting about my home town with Craig Taylor.
