JJ Abrams And ‘The Mystery Box’

JJ Abrams has created some great mysterious TV shows and movies such as Lost and Cloverfield and in this talk/presentation he made at TED a couple of years ago he explains the importance of mystery and the fact it can be found in things without being that overly obvious (eg. Star Wars).

I think this talk says a lot about him as a person and the importance to create mystery in life and the fact that sometimes it is more important to maintain that mystery rather than have a little bit of knowledge which you’d ultimately be the poorer for.

Take a look at this video of his talk and perhaps re-discover the importance of mystery in your life?

Simon Barker Naked?

Oh yes! When I saw that somebody arrived here on my personal website from searching on Google for the phrase “simon barker naked” – well it kind of gets your attention while checking your website statistics!

You can see from the image below that I’m obivously caring some weight, well when I say weight I’m obviously talking about the google ranking variety and not in the physical sense – I’d like to think I’m not in too bad a shape in that sense neither, but there won’t be any naked pictures of this Simon Barker appearing here anytime soon that’s for sure – sorry to disappoint!

Free 1 Month Gym Membership in North Yorkshire – Hambleton Leisure

Hambleton Leisure are running a promotion around the clocks going going forward – sign up before they do on the 29th March and you’ll get a month’s free membership once they go back again in the autumn – obviously you need to stay signed up in the meantime, but given it’s so easy for people to stop going and lose motivation, I think this offer is a great incentive to people to get in shape in 2009!

Online Shoe Shops

However, I recently thought I’d try out buying some shoes from an online shoe shop and I have to that I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience!
