Saving Lives: There’s an app for that

Friday, March 18th, 2011

If anyone doubts the value of technology consider two uses of the iPhone in Japan.

The Medical Encyclopedia for home use is being distributed for free after the tragic events of the earthquake and tsunami. It offers basic first aid advice for help in treating minor injuries and dealing with symptoms of shock.

And, if you are trying to contact friends or family in Japan the iPhone app ChatTime is offering free calls to Japan until the end of March.

No-one wants to see these tragic events but it’s great to see my favourite technology being put to good use.

In the Good Books

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

My Valentines Day present to Pam was a back of house tour of the Panda’s at Adelaide Zoo.

What a great way to spend a couple of hours. First we learned about the Panda’s and their habits (especially their eating habits), then we fed them and learned to “take blood” (with a fake syringe), followed by laying out their food and naturally getting some great photos.

The Adelaide Zoo should be highly commended for the Panda program. If you get the chance – do the tour.

Business could learn plenty from the preparation and training involved in taking care of these guys.
