About Me

Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!

Claims Kevin Rudd threw a 'wobbly' over hairdryer in Afghanistan

Claims Kevin Rudd threw a 'wobbly' over hairdryer in Afghanistan

Hair rage ... the alleged incident occurred when Kevin Rudd made a dash into Afghanistan last year. Picture: Gary Ramage
  • Kevin Rudd accused of more bad behaviour
  • Claims he threw a wobbly over a hairdryer
  • "Laughable, riduculous and untrue", says PM
KEVIN Rudd has denied he threw a "wobbly" over a hairdryer while in Afghanistan.

Coalition frontbencher John Cobb claimed the Prime Minister became agitated when Diggers couldn't find a hairdryer for a photo opportunity.

A livid Mr Rudd last night rejected the allegations as "laughable, ridiculous and untrue", the Herald Sun reports.

He also accused Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull of denigrating the "good name" of Australia's frontline troops.

But Mr Cobb stood by his claims, saying he was told of the incident by forces in Afghanistan.

The alleged incident occurred when Mr Rudd and a small entourage made a secret dash into Afghanistan just before Christmas last year.

There have been stories circulating about it in Defence circles ever since.

Kevin - you really are gaining quite the reputation (true or not, really does not matter now!) for being quite the "ponce"!

Give us a break. If you can't be what you say you are, Mr Economic Conservative, then at least don't lie to us about what you actually are, a overly dramatic girly-boy! How do you say that in Chinese?

I shake my head at our head of Government!

Afghanistan's only pig quarantined in flu fear

Sometimes its a strange world in which we live. The following is from Reuters news feed today

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's only known pig has been locked in a room, away from visitors to Kabul zoo where it normally grazes beside deer and goats, because people are worried it could infect them with the virus popularly known as swine flu.

The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious, and has been in quarantine since Sunday after visitors expressed alarm it could spread the new flu strain.

And yet, there is an aspect of sadness really. How lonely must that pig be????
