The blogger from Half Price Books did something very clever on their blog recently so they deserve all the click through and traffic to their site. I came across this pin on Pinterest the other day, and was linked to a blog page titled: '40 books  you won't be able to put down' . The  post was made of a collage of  famous book covers and was exceptionally inviting for me to pin

  Badge from beanforest @Esty The saying: "politeness cost nothing and gains everything" just nails it, not just in real life but in the world of social media. Being polite has high return on investment and it is a skill that should be practiced in everyday life as well as when you are online. As we become more active online it is highly relevant to not forget about the value of

  Airtime blog Launch Last week on the 5th of June, Airtime introduced itself as the first live video network service to create shared experiences online- all you need is a Facebook account and a webcam. From the Airtime Blog, its creators Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning were enthusiastic to deliver something fresh and new to “re-humanize” the internet. Airtime is said to not only be a

As a final year uni student  there should be a time when you come to really appreciate what you're studying- no more of the; 'get the degree over and done with' attitude. It's a time to be practical with what you see in the world and develop a critical point of view- that is applying the theory. I'm so excited to finally be able to do this and interpret the text book stuff with real life

Its safe to say that my last job interview did not go too well and the absent call back set that in stone. So with this rejection comes a stage where you have to access what went wrong - what I did well, what I didn't do and most importantly what will I do next time. This process applies to all learning -for the  first couple of days rejection will hurt your self esteem but then an uplifting

I'm not the greatest student but I am a great learner. There is a difference. In the context of university, getting High Distinction grades reflect that you are are great student- attending all lectures, tutorials and dedicating extra study time. Students are good at learning theory and applying it in written reports and perform well in exam conditions. Learners are just ok at this - they

I've just added the 'Pin It' button to this blog and feel that everything about Pinterest is just so easy . The social pinboard is growing fast and strong with pinners simply installing the browser  plugin - the pinboard becomes a very efficient bookmarking tool. The site drives more traffic than LinkedIn, Google+ and Youtube COMBINED. Piterest's immense popularity is driven by the our

This is my Intro Graphic. An visual representation of the highlights on my resume. I made this because I was told that you have 30 seconds to leave an impression and get the attention your resume deserves.  You'll be noticed because you put in the time to save them time. People are busy so if you can save them the effort of reading a cover letter then you're one step ahead. It directly

Let me introduce you to Timmy. He is a three year old cutie who just amazes me by how he learns. Timmy was at my house recently and he runs up and down the hall way to my room to show me objects that he  finds around the house. Everything just amazes him and he is enthusiastic to share it with anyone who will  give him the attention. Timmy's curiosity leads him to

I enjoyed playing the game Articulate the second time. The first time I just could not articulate the word ;'writing'. Although simple and clear in my mind I struggled to describe it outloud. And I reflected on why I did so badly and it was because I wasn't confident with expressing things in their most simple and natural form- things had to be complicated to be right. And that proves to be wrong

When I was comfortably employed I neglected to notice the term 'frugal'. It sounds sort of weird too- 'FRU-GUL'. Side note: The EmbedPlus site does the word justice. The site is stepping up from traditional dictionaries and providing a platform where the user searches a word, hears the pronunciation and then watch it in a real situation on youtube. A fantastic learning tool, and should

DIY projects are great because they allow you to be creative and resourceful. Doing things yourself will let you to make mistakes then solve them. If you have some spare time, take a look around to see if anything can be improved through DIY. Undertaking little projects always give me a real buzz and I am excited to be able to post, how to make a DIY lightbox. Note: Especially in unsteady

I was talking with friends about the capabilities of their mobile phones and was asked: Does your phone multitask? Can you read your emails while making a tweet? Some people are very passionate about this, they stress that  its very important  for a phone to multitask so it does not lag when you open another app while waiting for another to load. With technology at our dispense,

It took 4 days after new years day for me to sit down, clear my desk and start writing. Having the initiative to do something for the first time is always truly the hardest. It's hard because you dipping you toes into cold water, unknown of it's depth and whether you will like the feeling. You assess your surroundings to see if its safe, appropriate and worthwhile.
