Google Based Reconnaisance

Just a quick snippet this week, on a what I think is a clever use of a search engine for some competitive intelligence. So a friend rings me up and says, “this company has a job going, and if I remember rightly you know the owner”. I say “I haven’t spoken to him in years,…

Peeing on a log

Over the school holiday’s I took the kids camping at Lakes Entrance. A great time was had by all; fishing, 4WD, going down Buchan Caves, couple of vineyards etc. But like all good things, the holiday came to an end and I’m back at work. Going through the backlog of emails received whilst I was…

Technology Enabled Bastard Bosses

To record some of the Churchill Club sessions, we decided to invest in a digital voice recorder. We purchased the Olympus WS-331M [ pls link to http://www.olympusvoice.com.au/products/digital/voice_music/ws331m.html ], which is a tiny little device capable of pickup up most speakers in a conference. While fiddling with it to determine what it can and can’t do,…

That’s my Product!

Last week I mentioned I had difficulty figuring out what the Churchill club was doing after our initial concept didn’t work. This caused me to have my first insight. If I am going to have 30 people turn up, why not accept the fact, and engineer the events so the Club makes a bit of…

What’s my Product?

A while ago I wrote about Tactical Marketing Management . But I have recently had another insight about the Strategic Marketing of the Churchill Club . In fact, I just realized what my product actually was. Sounds dumb, but its true. When I first set up the Churchill Club, it was going to mirror the…

Does it date me to say “What Cheeses me off”? So the other day I want to edit some audio files I have recorded on the new Digital Voice recorder (sweet gadget but I will deal with that another day). Basically I just want to chop the files up into the separate speeches. Peter the…

Family Community Experimental

After having a discussion with my daughter, I realized I didn’t really have the right words to explain the difference between “my new family” and “my old family”. My new family being the wife and kids, the old family being my Mum, Dad and siblings. Describing the people that I live with as my “new…

Deploying Open Source

Normally when we go to the supermarket, my wife normally doesn’t like me unpacking the trolley at the register, in case I put things in the wrong order for the checkout chick to pack them (who would have guessed that washing powder shouldn’t be in the same bag as red meat?). So normally what I…

Quote Layout

Last week I got a quote from a caterer for a dinner I am running. A round table affair to discuss water technology. It was fairly standard fare, a word document with the bare minium of information. The quote P*ssed me off though as it was hard to read. What the author didn’t realise is…

a date with my wife

Yesterday I met with an MBA student from Monash that I mentor. One of the topics we discussed was how to achieve work life balance. His issue is that he works around 70 hours a week as well as study. Unsurprisingly his 3 kids are starting to wonder where he lives. I don’t have exactly…
