For the last few years I have been constantly hassled by a couple of my best mates about coming to visit them in the UK.
I was planning on going about 4 years ago but then I started my web hosting business. This resulted in being on-call 7 days a week and often working 12+ hour [...]
As some of you may know, a while ago I stumbled across a Brisbane guy named Peter Laurent who was trying to rank for the keywords ‘Best Looking Man In Brisbane’.
I thought that this was pretty funny and thought it would be fun to take the piss and rank for the term myself.
After weaving some [...]
In the old Batman movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, the Joker makes a comment about Batman’s gadgets and gizmos, saying “Where does he get those wonderful toys…”
And to be honest, I’m feeling a bit like Bruce Wayne / Batman at the moment myself. Before you jump to conclusions - no I haven’t [...]
The last 8 weeks have been the busiest, most stressful, most eventful and most fulfilling 8 weeks I think I’ve ever been through.
In this time, Kristy and I have booked an overseas holiday to go and visit Con, Gerard and Chris in the UK (as well as spending some time sight-seeing in France and Italy).
We [...]
I can’t believe that I always get the “i” and the “e” back-to-front whenever I type the word believe - I know how to spell the word properly, but obviously my typing sucks.

A few weeks ago I went to the last networking function for 2007 organised by the business networking group I attend - Networx Marketing.
The evening was held at a backpackers bar called Birdee Num Num’s and had a social media theme. There was a notice-board with people’s names you could ‘poke’ as you would [...]
It’s been a busy couple of weeks…
Nearly two weeks ago was one of my favourite days - International Talk Like A Pirate Day! For the uneducated, Talk Like A Pirate Day is a day where it is socially acceptable to talk like a pirate.
As Talk Like A Pirate Day was coming to a close [...]
A couple of weeks ago I attended another business networking night. The topic was on ways to interact with the media and it wasn’t something that was incredibly beneficial for me or my business but it was still a bit of fun.
One thing I observed at this event was that there were a lot [...]
Last Wednesday night I went along to a networking function that had some guest speakers discussing Social Media and Web 2.0 stuff… it was an interesting night because for once I actually knew about the topic.
In all honesty I was surprised about the knowledge of the main speaker. I checked-out his website prior to [...]
You could argue that I’ve been shamelessly promoting myself via social media (this blog) for over a year… which is true… but I’ve never particularly done anything special to promote the blog itself. If people found it through searching the net, that’s great… but I didn’t ask anyone to check me out - they did [...]
