Well it was like a dolphin conference at our local wave - Wategos in Byron Bay  this morning. We had over 50 dolphins swimming and surfing with us which was just truly awesome.

On almost any given day there are wild dolphins swimming in the waters that surround Cape Byron where you can encounter them closely in their natural habitat.

I use the Cape Byron walking track to get an great look at the waters below the cliffs where the dolphins can be found usually in small pods of 10-20 animals

Here is Tim Ferris talking about the “Low-Information Diet” at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Other keynoters included Eric Schmidt of Google and Jeff Bezos of Amazon. He was invited to speak after winning an audience vote at the “Ignite” competition a few nights earlier. The rules? The presentation had to be 5 minutes long, and you needed to have exactly 20 slides, which advanced automatically every 15 seconds. That explains why he’s speaking so quickly. Ferris is the author of the 4 hour work week.

Well several years on from the launch of the Philippines 1st Telecentre (GLOW) by our non profit OrphanIT.com we’re now ready to launch the first jobs platform for small businesses wanting to outsource to telecentres (like computer schools) in developing nations.

Had a few shark attacks here in Byron Bay over the last month.

My probability of being attacked is low even though the longfin Mako’s speed has been recorded at over 60 mph in short bursts, its full-grown length is over 4 m (13 ft) and they can jump up to 6 m (20 ft) in the air. On my end I have a very sharp spare car key in my leggy and can move pretty quickly when motivated.

Easy for me to say as I have 150 staff with my own outsourcing company. That wasn’t always the case though…

For starters its fun to be somewhere else in the world, traveling and working. Look at Tim Ferriss and his number 1 bestseller - the 4 hour work week - this guy is living the dream. I’m talking scuba diving, rock climbing, cage fighting, mountain bike riding or best of all surfing in somewhere like Cloud 9 (Siargao or ‘Sugars’) in The Southern Philippines where I’ll be in late November 2007 (2 weeks to be exact;)
