I can recommend a brilliant photographer

We do quite a few photo shoots as a family, and we've worked with a number of photographers in the past.  And almost every time we walked away with the thought "Won't use that one again".  This was never because of the quality of the photography, but more a clash of personalities and work ethics.

2010 – My goals

My idea for 2009 was to have no new year's resolutions, just a keyword for the year, #create.  That didn't work out too well, I can think of countless excuses, one being the birth of my daughter in Jan, which played havoc with the amount of free time I thought I may have.  But the reality is that without clear goals, you'll never accomplish much.  So for 2010 I 've decided to set clear goals, and make them public, so that I don't have any excuses to back down on any of them.

Another daughter

I have no excuse for publishing this post so late, other than the fact that I've started new employment in November, and have a 10 month old daughter, that demands some attention every now and then. We've been busy, and when I've had the time to post, I've been lazy, but here it is now.

My wife’s blogging

I've managed to get my wife blogging, you can see her writing here. She makes me look like an angel crossed with a god, so don't believe every word she says ;-)

Now, how do I convince her to use Twitter?

Misunderstood keyword

At the beginning of the year, instead of deciding on a stack of new-year’s resolutions, I decided on one keyword for the year. #create. Whether it be more blog posts, some awesome photos, usable applications in the public domain, website that people would actually want to visit/use. That was my motto for the year, to create more and consume less.

But I have to admit, it looks like I misinterpreted my keyword. I went for #procreate instead.

The internet’s impact on gaining knowledge

I have realised in the last few months that the way that I gain knowledge has changed a lot since I started my career.

Who’s your daddy

Today I experienced the second defining experience of my life.  My daughter was born at 12:51 Wednesday 28 January 2009.
Words cannot describe the emotions & feelings, trust me I've been trying to find the words all afternoon, and I now officially stop trying, and just enjoy the feeling.

Belated photos of Abby

Since deciding to move my content from FB to here, I have not had chance to do a lot.  At 22 weeks into the pregnancy we went for the 4D scan (most people try to correct me into saying it is a 3D scan, but you keep on forgetting the time dimension.  The snapshots are 3D, but you get video with Time-lapse, that is why it is called 4D)

Anyway, here are the first photos of our daughter's face, belatedly here, but up on FB for some time.

Hanselman

I had the privilege of meeting Scott Hanselman the other day while he was here in SA.  I have to say he's an absolutely awesome guy, and it is nice to meet someone in the flesh after following their blog and podcast for some time now.
