Every Thursday this month, Craig Hammond and James Fitzgerald, two workmates from Destination Rotorua Tourism Marketing and I are playing bowls at a local Rotorua bowling club taking being part of Mates in Bowls.
The first week there was a local photographer down there snapping away and took our names and phone numbers. I was surprised [...]]]></description>

Well, I&#8217;m certainly moving up in world, not up the corporate ladder, but physically up in our office, to the third floor.
My new office is the highest room in our entire building, right underneath the clock. So all day long I hear the ticking of the clock.

Made a special trip away from the office today, I hoped on an Intercity bus in Rotorua at 8:30am and headed to Auckland. I did this to pick up a Suzuki GSX-R1000 K7 (2007) motorcycle from Haldane&#8217;s motorcycles in Penrose, Auckland.
My first impressions were damn!, this thing looks mean as and sounds ever better!

Today I had the chance to take out a demo 2009 Suzuki SFV650 Gladius from Boyd Motorcycles in Hamilton.
First impressions were not too bad, some similar styling and performance to my brother in law&#8217;s Triumph Street Triple.

Today marks an important day. I&#8217;m finally getting an iPhone
Just over 4 hours ago I sold my 32GB 1st Gen iPod Touch.
When it was purchased on March 14, 2008, I paid $759.
492 days later I sold it for $431 on TradeMe
The difference for the 492 days use? Only $328.
That&#8217;s only $0.67 per day.
Less the cost [...]]]></description>

This time tomorrow, we&#8217;ll have another child.
Kim is going into hospital tomorrow morning for an elective cesarean (c-section) operation in the afternoon.
I&#8217;m not sure who&#8217;s more nervous, last time I nearly passed out. But with the help of our Midwife Midhusband Graham, I&#8217;m hoping to stand up and watch the baby being removed from my [...]]]></description>

If there was any time to embrace technology and social networking, now is that time.
I logged into Twitter at work today at the start of my lunch break (of course), and checked my saved search for Rotorua. I quickly discovered some new promotion Vodafone was doing around the country, Find the 3G guy and win [...]]]></description>

We got a txt from Croydon yesterday afternoon saying that Fiona&#8217;s water had broke the day before and that they were heading to Nelson to get induced at 4:30pm.

Then at 2:21am this morning, I got the following [...]]]></description>
