How to live without paper documents
One of my hates is the amount of ‘paperwork’ that falls through my letterbox. I’m not talking about the junk mail rubbish which simply gets put straight in to the bin, but other stuff such as statements, important letters, bills, the list goes on. Once I’ve processed everything it all gets stored in my filing cabinet. In most cases never to be seen or needed again, but as always the day after you throw it away something will always crop up which requires that very document! This got me thinking wouldn’t it be great if I could somehow reduce the amount of paper documents I receive and instead store them electronically? Well this is exactly what I’ve done and it is working so well that I thought it would be great to share my solution to the problem with you.

I colleague introduced me to this music video he found on YouTube, and I thought I would share it with you. I just love how they have integrated video chat from many different people who sort of interact with each other in the video. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. Read More...
Project Pedal
Episode One: From the beginning from mike ambs ☂ on Vimeo.
Anyone who knows me knows that 2 of my greatest passions have been for cycling and movie making, I just wish that I had more time to do both. About 2 or so years ago I stumbled across this great site, http://projectpedal.com , which documented the making of a documentary movie telling the story of a cyclist who cycled across the USA starting at the Pacific and finishing at the Atlantic Ocean. The title of the film is For Thousands of Miles.
I’ve been following the progress of the movie since I found the site and have helped support the project, and hope to continue doing so into the future. I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this previously and it recently dawned on me to mention it on my blog so that I can help promote the project further and hopefully help Mike generate some more much need financial support so that he is able to complete this amazing project.
Please visit Mike’s site to find out more about the work he is doing. He provides regular updates on his production blog including some great behind the scenes videos he titles ’64 days’ and awesome teasers for the final movie. If you like what you see please subscribe to the updates, follow Mikes updates on Twitter at either @Pedal or @FToM and if you can please help the project financially by donating what ever you can. Most importantly join the Project Pedal community and help spread the word.
Oh, and don’t forget you can also follow me @brentvardy on Twitter.
