Geek-it

As a self proclaimed geek, I love the moving world of technology. I love the way it allows us to do things more and more efficiently, to keep in contact with people across the world, even to buy things across the globe without leaving the computer terminal only to have them arrive on our doorstep via mail! The world infrastructure and set up means that you can make things happen on a global level. This can have good results, it can also lead to sadness and disappointments.

I logged onto my computer today, turned my Skype on for the first time in ages, and someone living in the opposite hemisphere to me caught me on “chat”.

I can't wait!! I just found out the great 'A-HA' are putting on a small intimate concert, here in London. I am SOOO LUCKY!! This a-Ha-ness is driving Gemma and myself slightly mental. It's going to be incredible. I can't bring myself to do any work now. Another day off work just so I can get int he front row - unless the seats are all set out. I AM SO EXITED!!! So this will mean we'll have seen a-Ha 5 times!! When I first like a-Ha when I was about 9, it never even crossed my mind that I would possibly ever get the chance to see a-Ha in my life, never had I though this would happen.

The basic concept is very simple it uses the metaphor for work tasks as frogs, and the nastier the task is, the bigger and more ugly the frog is, the harder it would be to bring your to eat. The main idea is simple, if when you get up in the morning you is eat the largest and ugliest frog everything else that day is going to go a lot better. (more…)
