Secret project almost underway


I have been busy getting ready for a special interweb / real world project. It's going to be a challenge, it's going to be fun, and I hope it will be interactive. It will also take a whole year! Should be underway before the end of the week.

In the meantime, here are some photos from Rose's 21st a couple of weekends ago. My lil sis is all growed. Apparently.

Recently at work we've had a competition to guess who has chosen the gigs and albums they would take with them if stranded on a desert island forever.

Lazor robotor


Ash, Zander and I went to a warehouse party in Sydnenham put on my HaHa Industries. It was no mid-90s Vibe Tribe rave, but it was fun.

I took my camera and hopefully the laser didn't fry it catching these interesting shots.

Durrty mo


I was making space on my laptop and came across this rude pic from the end of the summer holiday this year. If only it was still the 1970's, I would RUN THIS TOWN. And people would respect my authorataaae.
