Welcome to my first blog!

Hi and thanks for visiting my new blog.


Technology is amazing! Forming a website, contacting and communicating with people from all around the world is so easy now days. Check out these tools for faster, cheaper and better communication:

  • I use voipstunt.com to speak free to my Mum's landline in Australia, or via peterzahlt.de
  • Most of you have heard of skype, but do you know you can use it to have a business number in most countries, so that people call to your computer or landline
  • Even this blogger.com - instant website! Pretty cool to speak your mind and communicate with people
  • You can even make a video and have it sent out all over the web with youtube.com

I know this may seem a stretch from health and fitness, but it's not really. Because communication with friends and family is such a vital ingredient to health, and the easier and more accesible it is the better in my opinion. But again it comes down to moderation (like a lot of things in life) and not overindulging, as to not become completely dependent on the internet or our mobiles, just appreciating it. I remember seeing the Dalai Lama in Melbourne talk on technology. I thought he might talk about its perils, but instead he loved it - even raved about his new watch! Seeing this "enlightened" monk get excited about his new watch was pretty funny.

Yours in health

Craig
