Since Christmas for me is one big roller-coaster ride that starts on Christmas Eve and doesn’t stop until you’re throwing-up a little in your own mouth from all the family get-together’s, work do’s and drinking copious amounts of alcohol in-between just to make the whole experience bearable… I thought it would be soft to let [...]
I was doing so well and managed to get everything up-to-date on the blog… and then failed to post for about 6 weeks and now I’m back to square one. It’s 9:15pm on a Monday night and I’m only just starting to feel human again after a huge weekend of drinking. Sometimes I make references [...]
I probably should be catching-up on some work because our newest staff member – Emily started today. I thought I was brilliantly organised with a long list of tasks for her to complete, but as I began delegating the jobs, I discovered I hadn’t prepared adequate documentation to accompany the tasks which ended-up resulting in [...]
About a month ago I was having a lunch with a few SEO guys and it’s no great surprise that the topic of marketing came-up. In particular, the technique used by many businesses that involves creating a positive brand impression to children so as they grow-up, they will subconsciously prefer one brand to another due [...]
A few weeks back, it was Skye’s 21st which she celebrated by having a vampire party. Now I’m a big fan of vampires (and zombies and pirates and ninjas… and many more things that only young children and geeks should enjoy), so this was a really fun party. Whenever there’s a celebration that requires some [...]
Over the last few weekends, it has been time to P.A.R.T… why? Because we gotta! It all started a few weeks ago with Scotty’s 25th which was a themed James Bond Casino Royale party. There were Russian Spy’s, suits, tuxes, bow ties, cocktail dresses and one very large golden gun (no pun intended – Scotty’s [...]
On Thursday I got a birthday call from Con… we’ve been best mates for 20+ years and over that time, I don’t think he’s managed to successfully work-out what date my birthday is. Well, this isn’t entirely true, he usually narrows it down to a couple of dates (one being my actual birthday and the [...]
Yes, today is my birthday. Nothing particularly incredible about it, other than the fact that I’ve just turned 30 which is somewhat of a milestone… I recall when I was a little kid, I used to think that middle-aged was about 30-35… it’s funny how opinions change as you get older Although not technically for [...]
Over the past couple of weeks, my car has been a little bit like a mobile phone, or more accurately a life-size remote control vehicle – it works for 24 hours, but then you need to recharge it’s battery. A couple of weeks ago my car mysteriously wouldn’t start. Kristy gave me a jump start, [...]
A few days ago was one of my favourite public holidays – Australia Day. This year the holiday fell on a Monday which was a little awkward since the traditional celebrations usually involve drinking copious amounts of alcohol knowing you have a long-weekend to recover. So the celebrations were shuffled back a couple of days [...]
