Today, the launch of the My School website occurred. It was heavily promoted, and given how controversial the scoring system and the way schools can be compared has been, it was always going to be a pretty obvious heavy first day of usage. It was very disappointing (albeit a little expected) to see that the site has [...]
It happened again this week. I was discussing online strategies with a business, only to discover that they do not have even a basic listening program in place for electronic chatter about themselves. I realise that before online media came along it was extremely easy to stick your head in the sand. As long as sales [...]
Yesterday I was embarrassed. As part of #irace (our staff activity for Xmas) one of our staff teams wore ‘hot pink’ t-shirts. This was an all male (heterosexual) team and the pink colour was one of three bright colours. The event was all in good fun, and no one was supposed to get hurt. Thankfully no one [...]
Last night a person (yes a real human) made several mistakes. They made an error and then the attempts to manage it weren’t so great and things didn’t exactly resolve themselves as they could have. Ever happened to you? In your working life, have you ever made one of those mistakes that sent chills down your [...]
Due to some changes made to the printed version and a desire to make sure the book gets spread as far and wide as possible to help young men / men of all ages, The Perfect Gift for a Man ebook is now available free. Read the update. You can download it here, or from the [...]
Who is Darryl?
The owner and founder of Ireckon….
an internet old hand, a father and husband, a marketer, salesman, public speaker, fanatical rugby and AFL supporter and a student of many things…
When he eats dog food, he looks like this: Darryl as a dog.
My life story is probably as interesting as yours, so let’s not get into it in that much depth here. What is more interesting are my passions and what I do day to day that offers me the chance to meet fantastic people and play in the webisphere 365 days a year.
Since the first chance i got to play online using Lynx and scouring a local university file system, through the launch of browsers and all the way to the wonderous world of web 2.0 i have loved the way technology can provide a communication platform to break down flat world thought and open up the universe to a totality of possibilities.
I get to work with people every day and help them to use the web for their profit (and mine too), but more than that I love to get immersed in how they do business and what technology can do to help. In many cases I spend time talking business not web, but having a passion for what I do and a few dollops of salesman in my bloodstream means I can’t but ask hundreds of questions to understand what people do.
The learning goes on every day. At ireckon – ireckon (yes we use our brand like this every day in every possibly way) I learn 1-100 things every day: about the web, technology, people, staff, me, law, design, me, humanity, love, me, grey hair, books, friends … where should I stop.
As I have been heard to say… I will stop learning when I am dead (although for some that is when it begins), and I will sleep when I am dead.
The web and sleep just don’t seem to go together.
Keep an eye out for my new book!
