be a musician
When do you 'become' a musician 8 months ago

I’ve been writing songs, playing guitar and putting together fuzzy electronic stuff for a while now but I still find it difficult to call myself a musician… do you reckon people have to play professionally or do you have another criteria you have reach before you can be confident to call your self a musician?



Start my own business
Hard work but 100% worthwhile! 22 months ago

The very most important piece of advice i was ever lucky enough to take was to leave the “technical” work (in my case Ruby on Rails Development) to employees and to focus on business development!

It’s hard and there’s a lot to learn but if you don’t work on your business (as opposed to working on your product / service etc.), it is unlikely that your business will never grow and it will eventually fizzle away.

Make sure you have a clear vision of your business goals and a plan so that you know what you need to do, day by day, to get your business there!

Good luck! Theres nothing better than supporting yourself with your own business!



Ride a Vespa
La Dolce Vita! 2 years ago

There is absolutely nothing as liberating as starting up a Vespa and riding off to where ever you want to go on a sunny afternoon!

I have finally got around to buying a little Vespa et4 for myself and I simply couldn’t be happier! They are stylish, practical and, most of all, very VERY fun!

My only problem is that I don’t like leaving her out over night… I would keep her inside but for my girl friend (who is clearly just jealous).

set your self free and get one! you will most certainly never regret it! just ride safely and keep an eye out for those other crazy drivers!
