This is a breakdown of a recent bullet we’ve dodged when launching the MorningReport iPhone application onto the store. MorningReport is an iPhone alarm clock application.. with a twist. It will wake you up with spoken info about the time, and the weather in your location. Ever over-snoozed because you were too bleary-eyed to see [...]
The 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto principle, states that 80% of effects are created by 20% of causes. It’s proven to be widely applicable, and is the reason why you should share your work and ideas with other people without fearing theft. I speak to a lot of students (particularly artists) who are [...]
If you’ve experienced life in the city, you’ll have noticed that a large portion of street-sales are targeted at looking after everyone else. They call on our inner philanthropist to reach out to people you don’t know and may never meet – a noble deed, for sure. But now I ask you: How does your [...]
Being the eve of Apple’s new product launch, I see it as a great time to share a mind map of Steve Jobs’ original ipod launch presentation. I’ve boiled it down to a three act structure – a format I’ve found easy to modify and merge into my own presentations. What I’ve found useful is [...]

We have the internet, and we have business savvy internet clients offering up purchases just as [...]

It is easy to look at this one dimensionally. “Risk” is a very broad term, and generally indicates doing something, whereas “Reward” can relate to a slew of passive, immediate or [...]
I’m becoming ever more fascinated at the heroism demonstrated on TV, movies and games in this era. We see underdogs challenge the overbearing bullies, the wily victims risking all for what’s right – the passionate lawyers doing what they feel is just. Is it unrealistic, or foolhardy to idolise someone fictitious? I say no. Admiration [...]
It amazes me how much difference a sincere question like this makes to someone. Take a barista for instance. They’ve most likely dragged themselves out of their cosy bed at 5 in the morning, and they have most likely been working hard all morning to wake the population up for a productive day. If you’re [...]
