Millionise your lashes. These were the words staring me in the face late one Friday evening. I literally started crying, sobbing like a little baby. Admittedly, I may have been more than a little bit intoxicated; but still, those words affected me. Millionise your lashes.

5 Things I Learnt at Internet World 2010
Today marks the beginning of Internet World, one of Europe’s largest expos dedicated to internet technology and business in all its many forms. I went there in order to pick up a few pointers about social media and how to implement a business strategy surrounding all this new hoopla; but I ended the day figuring out more about people and the way the industry will operate in the future more than anything else.
Secular Spirituality: Sacred acts, profane thoughts
With today’s post I want to embark a bit more upon this new direction that I spoke about last week, a direction that was going to be infused with more of a spiritual understanding and voice in an attempt to move away from the purely neutral ‘Wikipedia’ tone that some of my news posts were guilty of.

These sectors will be at the forefront of what will be seen as progress, and will more than likely change our lives so drastically that we will have difficulty reconciling the new existence with the one that we are currently living within.
Site of the Week: Scientific American
This week, the site in question definitely comes with more mainstream awareness – so I do expect pretty much all of you to have heard of it – but I’m presuming that many of you don’t visit it on a regular basis, which is a shame. This week’s Site of the Week is a fantastic resource, so I present to you the Scientific American website.
Quarter of global population now Muslim
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has just released a report that indicates that the global Muslim population is now very close to a quarter of the estimated total population of humankind. About 60% of this population resides in Asia, with Indonesia having the highest proportion with 12.9% of the overall Muslim population worldwide.

Today marked the beginning of the Handheld Learning 2009 conference, which focuses on the use of handheld and mobile technology in the education sphere. Liz and I attended the first day of the conference, which was open to the general public.

What I want to focus on now is DataMasher – a fascinating programme that allows users to combine different sets of government statistical data to examine geographical correlations between them.
