I’ve been so excited by this story since yesterday I just had to share. Yesterday Danny told me that one of our developers, Simon, had launched a game on the iTunes app store. I was interested but to be honest, at least initially, more polite than excited. That was until Simon introduced me to “Nutty Bugs” , and then I was blown away.

I just had a wonderful evening with CEOs from some of New Zealand’s best companies. The group was brought together by Better By Design to visit some of the USA’s best Design-led and Innovative companies. It’s going to be an amazing week, challenging I am sure, but an interesting thing happened tonight: if you like, a small distinction became clear to me.

Because they help to establish momentum, we need to love and embrace our... Read Full Story

Watch a movement happen in under 3 minutes and dissect some lessons … BTW This video was shared by the very inspiring Brian Johnson of... Read Full Story

People with dirty jobs are happier In this movie Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs does two things, first he talks about a day he worked on a farm and amongst other things docks lambs. I saw this show and couldn’t believe he did what he did. I thought it was inhumane and as it turns out initially he did too, but in an entertaining fashion he talks through his learning and explains. The second thing he does is he makes the point that in his opinion people with Dirty Jobs are happier . He puts... Read Full Story

Sadly I have decided to stop development of my wordpress plugins. I have become extremely busy in my day job and my work as a volunteer Fire Fighter, my family and friends need to be my focus the rest of the time. I am sorry if you have been using my plugins and this leaves them unsupported but have been forced to make this decision rather than leave people hanging with an expectation of assistance but no time to do so. Thanks for the support and all the best Stephen Read Full Story
