25th of March, 2007 I’ve just arrived back from our day around Lake Taupo. Funny story, that, actually – when we left the party boat I decided to head straight back to the motel.

Earlier in the week I got a random email from Ticketmaster reminding me I had tickets to a concert on Thursday. I had completely forgotten I’d ever bought them.

I had intended to… Read more

I can distinctly date it back at least as far as high school, to The Game, which Maxim, Damien, myself and assorted others lavished our brief highlight teenage years on dreaming over. Sadly at the time my programming was limited to RealBasic… Read more
