Swimming Etiquette

It's just about time for me to get back into swimming as the local pool will be opening up after the Winter break in a couple of weeks. If you are thinking of getting into swimming be sure to check out this page on swimming pool etiquette.

Working on a new web design project for Sunshine Coast Racing Lodge at the moment. It's a racehorse spelling facility which is where you send your racehorse for a break in their training.

Coffee Geek

As those who know me well could tell you, I love my coffee almost to the point of being what you could call a Coffee Geek. Well it seems I'm not alone as the people over at Coffeegeek.com will confirm. I can trace my obsession with coffee back to when I worked as a barista at a couple of Starbucks-style coffee shops in London. Making a great cup requires careful preparation and correct storage of your coffee beans as this recent post at Boing Boing illustrates.

QUT Alumni Award Winner from Google

I was just reading my regular Alumni Newsletter from my old university QUT when I read the announcement that Dr. Stephen had just been announced the winner of The Chancellor's Outstanding Alumnus and Faculty of Information Technology Award. Apparantly he works for a little search company called Google (!) and has had a hand in some very interesting and influential projects. It's very nice to see other graduates of QUT making an impact on the world.
