You’ll have to excuse me over the next couple of months. I may not blog as much as I should as I’ve got to focus on some university assignments I’ve been putting off due to work, family etc…
Interesting stuff I’m studying, but that can be a post saved for another time…
Went to the Unlimited Potential event last Tuesday night. Whilst the low number of displays surprised me, the caliber of speakers alone was worth it.
Having Denise Bach (Yaktivate) come from the States to check out New Zealand was appreciated. She spoke passionately on her subject of social networking providing some food for thought on how [...]

Now I get all the personal [...]
