Footy, Genesis, Imagine Cup, Media, TechEd

Wow, this feels like one of Dominic's aggregate entries...

Footy - My church played its 3rd footy (AFL) match a couple of weeks back. I thought the skills were pretty good for a bunch of people deep in rugby territory (Brisbane). I'm still getting over a decent hit to the ribs, but at least it forced me into full forward where I kicked a couple of goals. Maybe Leigh should have asked me to help out against Geelong on the weekend.

Genesis - Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis spoke at church a couple of weeks back. This is the second AiG presentation I've been to. I still see the first one I went to as being a major influence on getting me thinking seriously about becoming a Christian (I am one now!)

Imagine Cup - Almost time to head off to Brazil for the Imagine Cup. I'm happy to see that Alex Barnett dropped me a line on my last post. It looks like my partially implemented Pingback/Trackback support might have got out to him. (I should finish that sometime)

Media - Imagine Cup has the media flocking to see us (ok. Flocking is maybe an exaggeration). Anyway, The Sunday Mail had us winning $35 million on the weekend! I chatted to Spencer Howson on local ABC radio yesterday. We've also spoken to Doug's local paper (Bayside & Northern Star) and we might be chatting to another Northside paper. We're obviously not good enough for any southside papers. Oh yeah, best of all Nick Wienholt is doing a story in Australian Developer about TVP.

Tech Ed - Imagine Cup is also taking us to Canberra in August for Australian TechEd. We'll hopefully understand more there than at TechEd Brazil which we'll be visiting as part of the Imagine Cup travels.

Anyway... I think this post proves I should do this more often.
