So, the last 6+ weeks have been all about our trip to India and Malaysia. The planning, doing and the posting of photos and memories. But I've been back at work a week now and it's time to take stock and think about the year ahead. At a glance it's like most years: It all…
Back from India and Malaysia
Hello Peeps! Roo and I got back from overseas about a week ago. We thoroughly enjoyed or time in India and our 6 day stopover in Malaysia. I blogged along the way and, since we got home, have done some final posts regarding the food in both countries. If you didn't follow the blog along…
Altre Voci – una recensione
Il mio collega da Yoga, Leandro Salomone è un artista. Nelle sue opere si utilizzano oggetti che si trovano nella vita quotidiana, come fibre naturali, metalli, pittura, legna o altre cose. Sabato siamo andati a vedere la sua mostra in corso. Come la maggiore parte delle sue opere, quella mostra, si chiama ‘Altre voci’, è…
Looks like a monthly update is all I can handle…
There seems to be a lot going on, and little time to blog about it. I'm thinking that perhaps I am too connected and a bit disjointed in my approach to social networking and blogging. I have been considering only updating my Tumblr blog MLTuckerAtLarge, which feeds to my Twitter and my Facebook and just…
That was the year that was – 2010
How lucky am I that last year, 2010, was one of mostly 'highs' for me. Even some of the lows brought unexpected moments of bitter-sweet melancholy. And that's a good thing in my book. The idea that we must always be happy is such a western concept. Times of sober pensiveness are important aspects of…
My 2010 reading list
I have a friend who set herself a goal of 100 books in one year. I don't even try to read that many, and never manage to finish everything that I start. Some are meant to be dipped into and not read cover to cover, like the BKS Iyengar classic, An Illustrated Light on Yoga. …
Life at the documentation factory and other December observations
I am currently easing back into work after nearly 3 months off (refer http://tenweeksinitaly.wordpress.com/) with a few odd jobs. Some of my work mates will be going on well-earned leave for up to 4 weeks and I'll be odd jobbing and helping out around the department. This week I have been updating our policies (one…
The pleasures of home
Today is my last day off before going back to work. I have been off since the 3rd of September, with most of my time off spent in Italy. Travelling is great, there is no doubt about that in my mind. Here's a favourite quote of mine: Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,…
Twittering, catching up on US politics and just reflecting
I am a twitterer and am probably more suited to the short format. Whether it's finding time for a concentrated bout of writing, short attention span or just my nature, I am not sure. Most of my work day I spend at a screen and keyboard so I am probably a bit averse to logging…
The tyranny of the day job
In itself, my job at the documentation factory is not that bad. I am currently redesigning forms for a credit union using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. "Designing forms, how boring" I hear you say. But, believe me, if you like technology and getting to play with new software, and feel good about process improvements and that…
