Parkway Drive
I went and covered the Parkway Drive gig at Newcastle Panther’s on Thursday night for I’m With The Band.
For those of out there who aren’t into hardcore and / or dont know who Parkway Drive are,
The secrets of my success!
I get a few emails from time to time from friends who are starting out in the blogging world asking me how I’ve gone with setting up my blog and bringing in traffic and all that sort of stuff, so I figured I would actually write an article about what I’ve done and that way I can direct people to it and hopefully they’ll find it a useful resource.
Lite n Easy, week 1 is over
Well it’s been a week of Lite n Easy and so far so good. At the start of the week I weight pretty well 100kg on the dot, at the end of the week I’ve managed to knock that down to 95kg. I’m pretty happy with that seeing as it’s 5kg, and particularly because I did next to no exercise. Does hitting golf balls at the driving range count as no exercise, as that’s pretty well all I did.
This week was week D in Lite n Easy’s food rotation, my highlight would’ve been the Canton Dim Sims that were for lunch on day 2. Very tasty indeed, cant wait till it comes around in another 3 weeks time. Dinner wise I’m always into Lite n Easy’s Satay Chicken, I also tried their Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai for the first time and I have to say I probably wouldn’t get that again, however I did enjoy the Chinese Pork which was also another new dish.
Anyway, this was just a quick update seeing as I’ve had a few people checking out my progress, and not to mention that I’m on the front page for Google when you search Lite n Easy.
Aperture 2, just released
After a ton of speculation of when it would be released and what exactly the new version would actually have in it, Apple have finally released Aperture 2. There’s over 100 new features in Aperture 2, you can view the full list here.
Amathyst at The Cambridge Hotel
I photographed the Amathyst, Skura gig at The Cambirdge Hotel the other night for I’m With The Band. I’ve been good friends with the girls for a year or two now and have photographed plenty of their shows so it was a pretty easy gig to shoot from that point of view as you don’t have a band getting a little nervous, or annoyed, when someone is sticking a camera right up in their face.
Dieting is so Lite n Easy!
Over the last 18 months or so I’ve put on a few kilos, pounds for you Americans, about 25kgs (55lbs) to be precise. When you’re 168cm (5′6″) tall putting on 25kg is like over 25% of you’re ideal weight so we’re talking a big increase!
I’ve made a blog, now what?
One thing that I had discovered is that it’s quite easy to get a blog up and running, it’s quite easy to bring in regular traffic, it’s quite easy to write content and keep things fresh, BUT it’s not that easy to make money out of it.
Back to Work!
Today is my first day back at my 9-5 job since early December, I took a longer holiday than normal as I was able to access my long service leave from being employed here for the last 10 years.
Income Report - January 2008
Well January 2008 has officially come and gone, it really baffles me where the time goes these days. Our lifestyles are just so fast and furious that days, weeks, months just fly by us in the blink of an eye.
