Nelson Mandela and the late Sir Edmund Hillary define lifelong humility despite their towering achievements. Dinner with JG Ballard, William Gibson and Iaian Banks would be humbling. Clive Owen and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Malcolm Gladwell. Helen Mirren. The Free Hugs guy. Jonah Lomu and Tana Umaga and who wouldn't want to meet Dan Carter? The people who started The Onion. My ex-colleague Cathy and all of my friends around the planet, together for a big weekend of talking and laughing.People in communications and technology, internet publishing/media & online communications, social media & online marketing, thinking outside the box -this evolving world.

I started out as a newspaper reporter handed the music and entertainment reviewing gig. I was 20 years old and paid OVERTIME to attend and review concerts I wouldn't have been able to afford. Thank you, thank you, thank you... I have everything from hip-hop to opera. The only thing that doesn't make my heart sing is jazz, which is a shame, but that's the way it is.

I still like the evening news. The Chaser's War on Everything. Good TV dramas that suck you in for a season. Documentaries about things I hadn't thought about until I saw it on the screen.
Don deLillo's The Falling Man, The Time Travellers Wife, currently reading Iain Bank's latest two books. Just finished latest Murakami novel, having lived in Tokyo I loved it. I read a lot online for work and play - blogs, news, more news, commentary, black humour and satire, magazines and online publications.
Nelson Mandela is a towering figure. My parents are still happily married after 54 years. Most of the Mitford sisters.
