Well, I'm back from summer holidays, and the keynote in Australia was a particular bit of fun. Sydney is a dazzling modern and efficient city -- some of its' infrastructure put other global cities to shame.

After Sydney, my family and I went up the east coast of Australia, to several locations. It was at Mission Beach -- sugar cane and banana tree country -- where we found local sugar cane farmers visiting the beach on Sunday, their day off.

I thought their approach and methodology to be particularly innovative! After all, you might as well use the same vehicle for leisure activities as you do for the work week.

I'm back in action, and have a heavy month of high profile keynotes coming up, on which I will post later.
