Honeymoon Destination Guessing Competition - Prizes!

In 3 months Katrina and I will be going on a holiday :)

Can you guess where that might be? I'm going to avoid giving clues, as much as I can, in case I give too much away. So feel free to exert you powers of educated guessing. What is likely? What is realistic? What is appropriate? What isn't? It's a big world...

And if you guess correctly, or at least most correctly, you will get a prize. Yes, you read right - there will be a winner and the winner will get a prize. This is likely to be something from where ever we end up to prove that we were there.

So, start putting your thoughts in the comments. If this works I'll probably post updates on the main page.

Post TWZ activity

I seemed to have passed through the Three Week Zone (thanks James) relatively unscathed. In fact it has now been four weeks since I proposed and although there will always be doubts at the back of my mind they seem to be staying there. In the week since emerging from the TWZ a fair bit has been organised...

It seems that a lot of people think that three or so months is not enough time to organise a wedding. That makes sense if you are trying to find the right reception venue and the places you want are booked out. Well, we had already settled on a date because it fitted in with uni holidays and a few other things. Then last weekend Katrina's parents went to look at a few places. On Monday we were taken to their first choice which is perfect for a range of reasons. We loved it. Anyway, a couple of days later it was booked :)

We also had to think about booking some sort of holiday to have after the wedding. It's such a big world - what should we do? Well, several things came together and key things have been booked. We'll be starting a Honeymoon Destination Guessing Competition soon...

Closer to hand, we have also sorted out plans for the engagement party. (Just need to sort out invitations. We have connections for the printing of them which makes that part easy. The harder part is working out the list...)

Three points for the moment but these are fairly key things so we think we're doing well.

Any married people reading this? If you would like to give any advice of what else to keep in mind that would be good too :)

Easter

Good article on what Easter is about and why it's offensive.

What's wrong with this picture?

This should give you a few seconds of... interest.

Hmm... I seem to just be putting up the odd thing that I find interesting or amusing. And since I often couldn't be bothered coming here I often don't share good interesting things that I find. I don't want this to just turn into a totally superficial blog. (Feel free to offer encouragement.)

For the Mac nerds...



You know those "I'm a Mac" ads? I've only seen one other take off to compare (the one with Linux) but this is the funniest I've seen. I especially like the reference to Ultimate... (For those of you who couldn't be bothered the gist is that Mac users are young, hip, video making, Ultimate playing hippies.)

Several notes:
- Yes, I know there won't be many people who are reading this who fall into this category
- Yes, I found got this link from Daring Fireball and I know that those who are reading this blog and are interested probably already saw this, for that reason (hi Nic)
- Yes, I am going to bed...

More on that later.

Google takes over the world…

I intend for there to be a bit more activity on this blog from now on. There are certainly plenty things happening in my life to talk about. The catch is that these things are going to take up a lot of my time so I'm not going to have so much time to be wasting on writing this sort of stuff. But we'll see how I go.

And what's this about Google. Well, you'll see them often enough in the news to think that maybe they are expanding their... interests to be heading towards world dominations. Actually, my point is that I seem to be using a few Google products. Blogger, of course. I have a Gmail account (of course). The point about that is that my Gmail address is the one I use for both GTalk and MSN. So, if you use either of those, please feel free to add me to your list. (It doesn't matter which, I use a program that lets me check both at the same time.)

And, the other thing to annouce is that I'm starting up an photo gallery over at Google's Picassa... Check it out.

Old?

Today is such a momentous occasion, I've been given an extra hour to celebrate...
