Be yourself. End of post. Just joking. Well, about the end of the post anyway. Not about the content. There is something inherently attractive about a person who conveys that they are comfortable in their own skin. The way they think, speak, and act says loud and clear “I don’t care what you think of […]
As a child and through my teenage years, I loved playing video games. I would go rent a game from the local video store and spend hours after school, on weekends, and during my holidays playing through games until I could beat it with my hands tied behind my back. I remember being horrified if […]
Who are you? Really, answer the question. I’ll wait. In fact, I’ll answer it too. If someone asked me that question, for the sake of social convenience I would answer something like this: I’m Taz, a 20-something year old Brisbanite. I’m professional web designer/developer.

I also knew that I lacked the power, motivation, and self-discipline to change everything at once. My purpose for completing these Power Trials is to become stronger […]
It’s day five of my More Sleep and No Caffeine power trial already so it’s about time for an update. Sleep The sleep is going great; I’ve been waking a few times during the night, but I have been falling asleep usually within the hour. About an hour is pretty good for me. Going to […]
One of the personal development exercises we were set in the Conscious Growth Workshop was to do a random act of kindness for someone. I saw my opportunity as I was lining up to buy tickets to Cirque de Soleil – Ka with my lovely new friend from San Fransisco. An irritated female staff member […]
