Music, Movies, and Books
Pretty random - most of the mainstream stuff, chill-out bands like Postal Service, Morcheeba etc, lots of electronica, dance and mash-ups with a good beat, some good aussie bands like Powderfinger, Hilltop Hoods, The Whitlams and Cat Empire, and then some bands from all over - Manu Chao, The Knife, Björk. I've even been caught listening to the likes of Garth Brooks, the Eagles and Credence Clearwater Revival.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went down to Sydney Harbour during my lunch break one day and a whale was playing in front of the Sydney Opera House. A whale. In the harbour. At lunch time! It was pretty special to see such an amazing creature in my city.
Teach, Learn, Share
www.bth.se/msls - a very cool programme on strategy, leadership and sustainability. More like it needed in today's world.
I like this book too: Collapse, by Jared Diamond.
And this is my favourite website: www.ted.com - Ideas worth spreading. Its awesome.
