Whoa There

It's possible to slow down technology - in a good way. Phones, computers and (their love child) Blackberries were designed to give us more leisure time. And there are a number of people out there leisurely using theirs to record their days, and sharing the results. Like Jason Evans' Daily Nice and David Horvitz (work pictured) who will, among other things, send you a photo of the sky every day this year.

Make the day-to-day deliberate by setting a task. It could be a daily phone-photo or a train ticket torn (a la Mintie wrapper) into one long unbroken streamer.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
