Melbourne Cup


I overheard quite a few first time gamblers at the TAB today, not to worry! There was a guy at this table to help you place your bet.

I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to gamble today on the Melbourne Cup. I got a text from Rob at Zen, told him not to wait up for me (I had the CTATC Design School Talk on earlier today) but when I got into work the race hadn’t started so we hit the pub, then the TAB.

It’s strange that the entire nation is encouraged to gamble just for the one day huh? Especially considering gambling is a problem in Australia that ruins a lot of lives. Why not promote smoking a cigarette the one day a year instead? Give it a go, you might get hooked?!

CATC Design School Talk


Hey it’s my name on a poster!


The students.

I was invited to do a talk today at CATC Design School in The Rocks, Sydney. Turns out they take up a few floors in the Ken Done building, awesome heritage building which had open plans and lovely exposed beams and wooden poles.

Talk started off a little shaky for me, a combination of not having done a talk in ages and not having the best preparation as I’ve been down with the flu for about a week, but at some stage my ears popped and I could hear myself properly, got in the zone and did AOK.

Talks are always rewarding and I’m always happy to give out as many secrets as I can.
