This month on my Digital Arts Magazine blog, I write about how Dino and I complement each other to run a successful Creative department.
This month on my Digital Arts Magazine blog, I write about Producers and the role they play in the production process - how we've shaped the role here at Digital Outlook versus other agencies, and why we don't call them Project Managers.
I heard about a new Australian comedy, called We Can Be Heroes.
5 characters from around the country compete to be Australian of the Year. Includes Ja'mie King, 16yo Sydney private school girl who sponsors 85 kids in Africa, Phil Olivetti who rescued 9 children from an unsecured jumping castle which blew into overhead power lines, and obviously my favourite...Ricky Wong, genius Melbourne Univerity PhD student who would rather be in musical theatre against the wishes of his strict Chinese family.
So I found it all on YouTube of course. And it's very funny.
I think Ricky's great. And though it sends up Chinese-Australians, funny accent, family and all, it's a frightenly accurate and endearing representation that I'm rather proud of.
My partner Joseph was a Young Queensland Australian of the Year in his teens...and we're both rooting for Ricky!
Arrived home today after a wonderfully relaxing 5 days in sunny Jersey on the English Channel.
Joseph organised it as a surprise for our joint birthdays over the weekend. I just had to show up!
Activities included coasteering where we scampered around cliffs in our wetsuits and jumped off rocks, kyaking and plenty of biking. Strenuous but nevertheless relaxing.
And best of all was visiting Durrell Wildlife Conservation Park - a zoo for endangered species around the world. Loved and run the way zoos ought to be.
In 2005, Joseph and I spent a couple of days at Mata Amritanandamayai Devi's Ashram in Kerala where we received hugs from the "Hugging Saint" herself.
Known as Amma (Mother), she travels the world with her message of love and peace and is estimated to have hugged more than 26 million people. People queue for hours to receive her embrace. It was really quite surreal and a fantastic experience I'd highly recommend should you visit South India. But check first that she'll be in!
Found this video on Google. You might like to take a look.
If you haven't seen this yet, you must.
A prison in the Phillipines keep morale amongst inmates up by choreographing and performing music videos like Michael Jackson's Thriller. Then posting it to YouTube.
My favourite is the ladyboy. I mean, you just feel the fear!
