ToodleDo is a powerful task list management system. It can be used in a desktop web browser, smart phone web browser or using the iOS or Android app.
I have been using ToodleDo on my iPhone, home computer and office computer for the last three years. ToodleDo is my trusted system for capturing tasks, planning my projects and getting things done.
In this article I will show how I capture an item to do, review the action list for today (the Hot-list) and marking a task as completed.
Here is an essay I wrote in May 1996 about my interest in photography. Photographs back then were taken on film and developed and printed in photo laboratories or in my darkroom.
I trace my interest in being creative to the time I started photography. At school when I was 16 years old, I borrowed some darkroom equipment (enlarger, developing tank and trays) so I could process my own black and white films. At school I was very much a Maths and Science person, and detested studying English. However, Photography is an activity I have enjoyed since I was ten years old.
Monday the 26th January 2015 is Australia Day – the official national day of Australia. This year we are enjoying a long weekend – with warm summer weather.
Australia Day also marks the end of the summer holidays for school students as they return to a new school year in the coming few days. No more public holidays until Easter at the end of March.
In late December 2014 I saw the movie Interstellar on the big screen in the Event Cinema, George Street, Sydney. I sat in the third row so I could get the maximum effect of the big picture and sound.
I enjoyed the film very much and there were so many aspects that gave me deep satisfaction – sending my imagination into outer space, exploring the universe, thinking about human survival and what it means to be human.
Happy New Year! This is my first blog post for 2015. I am planning to write more frequently with a goal of one post each week.
The Japanese have a tradition of sending nengajo – New Year cards (年賀状) to family and friends. These cards include a brief update of what has been happening in the previous 12 months and may include a family picture.
My wife and I spent New Year in Japan at the end of 1999 and I enjoyed the many traditions of that time of the year : the special meal on New Years Day and visiting a shrine at Dazaifu.
The Japanese used to follow the lunar year, similar to Chinese with the 12 year zodiac cycle.
2015 is the Year of the Sheep, sometimes known as the Year of the Ram or Year of the Goat.

This is the video I submitted as my project for the Digital Storytelling online course from the University of Houston.
This story shows how technology has affected the way I have watched and enjoyed movies. This includes cinema, television, VCR, DVD, computers, internet and now iPad. As technology develops how will the experience of watching movies change and affect the relationship with film?
Watch the video and see for yourself. The duration is 5’33” and you can read the transcript later i n the article.
