I love reading. I love the Internet. Cue the entrance of blogs and bam! Every spare second I didn't have, gone. But that's okay because I derive massive value from my favourite blogs and now I want to share that with you. Hence this entry. I mentioned this to a friend who said, "Favourite blog posts are good, because they'll boost your Google Pagerank. All those famous blogs with ...

I've believed for a long time that having a team of inspirational people behind me really, well, inspires me. (Sorry, not all of my thoughts are mind-blowing breakthroughs :)) Plus, lots of people have asked me about entrepreneurship: How does one get started? Where to go for advice? Who can help out?! To that end, here's my hand-selected team; I hope you find them inspiring too: ...

I recently read a post about entrepreneurs who introduce themselves as people who hate their current jobs and are trying to get something started on the side if only they can get funding. Thus, unintentionally & unconsciously putting off any potential investors etc. (If I could find it again, I would love to share it). So, I thought about what I would say instead. (In the end, it's all ...

Hmm, well, I'm glad you asked that question... I have three essays at the moment and that's the title for one of them (er, without the desperate student bit, obviously). I was sitting here stressing about the fact that I have essays and site updates to do. Then I thought, 'Maybe I can combine the two!' I can't, because my ideas are too unclear at this stage. (Yes, even at ...

In this entry, I'm exploring why I'm sad, how to be happy and my thoughts about what I want to do in my life, where I want to go and how I want to get there. I hope you find it informative too. To that end, I've included some links to sites I've found useful, with brief summaries and/or reviews. Career, life plans, aspirations, hopes & dreams Aside from the ...

In the disaster that was my hosting falling over, all my sites disappeared, including Ethical Beads. I'm working on bringing it back. Ethical Beads is a social enterprise very dear to my heart, so I'm working on getting it up as soon as possible. As you're my highly-valued readers, I'm giving you a special preview of the new copy for Ethical Beads. Please let me know what you think; ...

I'm ill at the moment, so I'm taking the day off from posting. My sincerest apologies. In the confusion of hosting failure I neglected to update on Monday, and for this, too, I apologise. I will be writing offline though. Consequently, I'll be resuming updating on Friday, 17th November 2006. See you then.

In essence, my hosts experienced a series of hardware problems, so all my sites disappeared and my email addresses stopped working. On Thursday, 9th November, the hosting came back, sans content. Ian & I contacted our hosts who restored as much as they could. On Friday, 10th November, I had the exciting task of restoring the vast majority of my content from scratch: My database (for entries, comments etc), my ...

UPDATE: All Things Bright went offline on Monday (6 Nov), but it's back for good now. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience, I've returned to my usual scheduling of every other day now, starting today. Thanks for being so patient. 11 Nov 2006 NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a creative writing project originating in the United States in which each participant attempts to write a fifty-thousand-word novel in ...

I recently nominated myself for the KCL Enterprise committee (position of Webmaster) and one of the things I mentioned in my personal statement is how much I love helping people. Currently, my main areas of interest are in entrepreneurship & related, so that's what I'm focusing on. With that in mind, here are some excellent resources I've found online; with highlights. (This entry is similar, in type, to my ...

I've been thinking about feminism. I remember getting back from a feminism meeting, where I met some fascinating women (as I always do). Met one such woman with the most unusual theories - truly original, reminded me of the film, 'A Beautiful Mind' actually. Anyway, I went away with some book recommendations and my head buzzing with ideas. The only negative things are I seem to be surrounded by a ...
