  • Camping Trip to Ulladulla

    Recently the family took an opportunity to explore more of the south coast of New South Wales with a church camping trip to Ulladulla. Now, while I like to camp and wish we did a lot more, I typically find myself cringing when thinking about jamming everything into the Toyota Camry.

    But we did and away we went, all the more special because our good friends Matt and Holly were travelling with their family as well. A few hours drive and a missed turn (because I was told to take the first turn after a certain






    NRL Grand Final 2009 – I won tickets

    Rugby League Grand Final tickets. Not just any tickets mind you. Corporate Box tickets. Corporate Box tickets with rugby league legend Mark Geyer (MG). Corporate Box tickets with cricket legend Stuart MacGill. Corporate Box tickets with radio and TV personality Gus Worland. With that thoroughly deserved gloat out of the way, I’ll shed some light on how it all happened.

    Three weeks ago I started a new job in Sydney. Having worked from home for much of the past three years, this was a step into the normal

    As I wrote in my previous blog entry, my brother and I gathered our two families on the Gold Coast for our first traditional family vacation. The idea being every couple years we meet somewhere for our kids to catch up and play with their cousins; 2,200km separates the two families. This first gathering coincided with my belated 30th Birthday (February 5th) so my brother and I decided to do something special to mark the occasion. We initially decided to go bungee jumping…

    As a somewhat delayed but much appreciated 30th Birthday celebration, mine and my brothers’ families "met in the middle" on the Gold Coast for a Movie World Holiday in May. I say middle loosely – he drove 1,400km compared to my 1,000 but we decided it was close enough and the ideal spot to try and do something similar every few years. The Gold Coast is pretty much the epicentre of theme parks Australia; Dream World, Movie World, Sea World, Wet ‘N Wild and a few others cluster in Australia’s version of Miami, Florida.






    The US Masters

    This year the company I work for had an additional project at the US Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Our software was to be used on the Concessions side of the tournament; they have been using our software for 10 years prior on the Retail side. I was heading up the project alongside Matt (a co-worker) and teaming up with the NCR Retail Division. Now I am not a golf nut by any stretch, but my dad was and much of my family are. I spent many Saturday’s as a boy as my dad’s caddie; I picked up an
