Most of this month I worked in Australia. I flew the Tasman but took two overnight bus trips rather than flying similar distance from WLG/AKL. It went pretty well and I had no trouble working next day after the somewhat broken sleep. It saved mayb...

Surprise!
You’re invited to our last Intersect Face-to-Face of 2009. There will be sharing of ideas and the usual inspiration and connection, but this one is a little bit Christmas flavoured and it’s all about giving.
There will be surprise gifts, crafty activities, ideas for 'sustainable' gifts and conversations about giving. You can get involved in any way that suits you - even if it's just to meet a few more people and enjoy some tasty treats.
...Pssst...pass it on!
Why not surprise someone from the Wellington Intersectors and post this invite on their profile?

Cheers!

Kate Taylor said… - Hi Joshua
I'm so sorry you haven't heard from me! I had not seen this comment until today. I moved to San Francisco at the start of May, so it has all been a bit mental. Are you still looking for help/advisors?? I'm willing and have a bit of time.

The crunch was having my office invaded - 6 people in a… Continue
