Are we living in a Goldfish bowl?

Our society is undergoing a paradigm shift.
Some of the old ways are crumbling. Take privacy for example, which is a subject I commented briefly on in my article about people search in Australia. We are in an increasingly visible world.
From the perspective of my Private Investigator – Private Detective spook hat, I am only too [...]

Internet evolution = life evolution – don’t miss this.

Internet evolution = life evolution – don’t miss this.

The Internet and technology are not what they seem – many of us have outdated concepts, ideas and interpretations.
As I have mentioned before, I think that in 100 years time school children will learn about the Internet (Technology) Revolution in the same way many of us studied the Industrial Revolution.
Change is coming. Big change. Speed [...]

Is personal development hard work?

Some people claim that it is.
I am very wary of such statements for a number of reasons, some of which will be covered in this article.
Before I start please let me fill you in on a brief background. I had an extremely bad emotional, psychological and mental start in life due to very bad parenting. [...]

Barmy privacy laws hinder Police yet do little for real privacy.

Here in Australia we have privacy laws, some of which have recently been strengthened.
One of my hats being that of Private Investigator has given me some “inside” insights about the effects of these privacy laws.
Generally speaking, privacy laws have done little to improve privacy. The new privacy laws have served to improve things markedly for criminals and [...]

Gold Coast Organic Food Store – where customers matter.

Do you need world class surveillance services?

Do you need world class surveillance services?

Regular readers of my blog may be aware that one of my hats is that of Private Detective – Private Eye. These days I focus mainly on the staff/business assessment side of Private Investigator work. I was once considered one of the best people finders in the country. More information here.
I stopped doing surveillance years [...]

Tasmania trip

I have not posted much on my blogs recently because I went on a trip to Tasmania, Australia’s most southerly State.
Tasmania is much cooler than where I live on the sub tropical Gold Coast. Tasmania has a much older feel to it with a strong sense of the colonial past.
We landed in Launceston, in the [...]

What will happen to the economy?

For a long time now, I have suspected that is the financial crisis may not have bottomed. I have been very sceptical of published positive comments of some real estate agents and politicians, who have heralded imminent better times.
I am not an expert in economics however when looking at the world situation from a business and [...]

Why where you buy socks is important and a great place to get them.

Why where you buy socks is important and a great place to get them.

Recently I needed to purchase more socks because the last lot I bought were rapidly wearing out. I bought them on eBay at a cheap price. I got what I paid for – some of them wore out after only a few wears, and most of the others have been developing holes regularly ever since.

Simply speaking, I self diagnosed that the Urticaria was caused by a medication; [...]

Remembering and appreciating friends.

Remembering and appreciating friends.

Today, 3rd June, is the 15th anniversary of the death of a close friend of mine who died in the northern summer of 94. In fact, he was the best friend I ever had.
His name was Peter Vernon Booth (Pete) and he was a very unusual man. Think eccentric English boffin. Highly intelligent (IQ off [...]

Australia – “The Lucky Country”

Australia has long been considered “The Lucky Country”.
Australia shines as place to be in global crisis
This attitude has insulated us from some of the effects of the current economic downturn.
Why is this?
Because a significant amount of the severity of the financial climate today is due to fear and negativity.
Much is self inflicted.
Focus on the good. [...]

Suffering From Lots Of Spam?

Suffering From Lots Of Spam?

There seems to be a lot more SPAM about lately.
Currently I have 24,056 messages in my SPAM folder and none are more than 30 days old. In fact, it may be less than 30 day’s worth because I have only recently stopped emptying it and the folder has auto delete set for anything over 30 [...]
