I just wanted to publicly announce some serious kudos to a good mate of mine, Matt Tamsett. Matt’s a bloke I met while working in the games industry in the UK a couple of years back, who now lives in Brisbane too. He’s a bit of a fitness freak, and last year decided to [...]

My Boy
I’m sure that most of you don’t give a hoot about how often I post. But those of you who do, and who have noticed that I haven’t posted for a little while may want to know why. The answer is: I have become a Father!
Do your bit for the Earth
First post in a while, I guess I must have been busy with something More on that later.
