I'm in the process of launching a new blog which teaches basic first aid to parents. Have a look at http://www.firstaidforparents.org/

I have a simple plan when dealing with fear that I use and lead others in when they are afraid. It asks: what are you DOING about your fear?
A brief summary

D - Define your fears. Give your fears definition rather than leave them vague and unclear. Ask - what is it I am really afraid of?
O - Outcomes. Think about the worst things that could happen if your fears come to pass. How likely is this? What are the best things that could happen if you deal with your fear? How likely is that to happen?

Well, I now have this blog on two different iPhone apps - one from appmakr and the other from motherapp.

Initially I tried the mother app site. The site wasn't clear on proceedure so I sent in an email and had an email back requesting some information form me (which I duely sent) but still wasn't given an indication on price - so I had no idea how much it would cost.

A few weeks later they sent me another email asking for more information (mainly images) - which I sent, but again - no mention of fees. Then a month...

I love Liverpool - it is  a great City to live in, but - like most things in life - it is far from perfect. There is rollercoaster of a season from Liverpool football club (I am a life-fan and season ticket holder), the bizarre way in which the council spends money, the weather and now this: the world's shortest cycle lane?

I occassionally cycle to work (and I say occassionally!). On Friday, I went down ...

New Software: Evernote. A great place to store notes (privately and public to share to collaborate with your Team members - another great feature), whether text, photo, file or Audio. It works on my iPhone and syncs everywhere. It will even search the text (typed or handwritten) on images. I haven't got the scanner that syncs with it yet - but it is a strong possibility as I head down the paperless route!
New gadget: ...

Jack woke up like he did every other morning: fighting a huge temptation. The snooze button. It is deadly and has the power to seriously wreck a day. Every morning it is a fight.

Today Jack won. This was not true every morning. He is averaging a 60% success rate at the moment. Not great, but slightly above average.

Ironically, his fight with the alarm clock is quite symbolic of life. He is, in his own words, slightly above average. “Nothing to see here” as the police say at the crime scene, trying to usher you past quickly. And there isn’t anything worth seeing with Jack. Everything about Jack’s life seemed...

Fascinating video on how Tim Ferriss launched his Four Hour Work Week book. Interesting to watch definately! If you look at his Posterous Link (http://timferriss.posterous.com/tim-ferriss-how-to-create-a-global-phenomenon) you can also see the slides he uses during the talk.

Came across this interesting video today about how to present like Steve Jobs of Apple fame. It gives a quick and useful summary of how Steve Jobs does actually present. Well worth watching.

Well, I finally got around to creating a video out of my PowerPoint presentation on how to create a good PowerPoint presentation (bad PowerPoint is a pet hate of mine, and would love to see it used better - especially in the church and boardrooms!).
