Citrus Spritzer


Just discovered this over at stem


Its apparently a citrus spritzer designed by the Quirky community that helps spray juice evenly from a citrus fruit. I am just surprised it works?!!

Either way, its a pretty neat idea!

Advice to sink in slowly

You know how you have that voice inside you head that says "I am such a fool"  when you do something really silly and stupid and then says "I am totally awesome" when you accomplish anything of value?  As annoying as it is, you always tend to believe the voice and let it dictate your emotions. If you happen to be as self critical as me, god bless your soul, the negative one always tends to scream, shout and get all the attention. 

Well all of last week the little negative voice got the better of me (because of a dying project) and I was lost in a world of pain, completely doubting my abilities..and believing that the world was intact a dark desolate place! 

And that's wen I came across this poster, and boy did it change everything in an instant.



I think we spend wayy to much time in our lives letting the voices dictate out futures. TIme to ignore and just start doing :)

On That note, here is another awesome poster from them:

Not Dead...

Its been a crazy crazy month with many of my side projects taking off and few dying. The need to keep my pulse on everything and also adequately ensuring that I don't go insane caused me to put this blog on the back burner. But no more...I am back and boy, do I have a line up for things that I want to share with you :)

Remember this post? Well, the interview with Zumbo eventuated. It was scary, spectacular and humbling all at the same time. I was so high on the feeling that oozed from meeting a change agent like him, that I scheduled a few more with some fantastic people in Australia - all of which I will share over the next few weeks.

But that's not all, I was part of something called a service Jam - an event where you had about 48 hours to come up with a new business and a prototype (post on which will come soon) . The event was beyond anything I have been part of, it was tiring, annoying, exhilarating, inspiring and awesome fun. I was just amazed at how creative people can/could be when given a wacky topic...so as an ode to all th creative types that make the world a bearable pace here's a 3 min TED video mash up:
