Long Weekend ahead, and other news
Well this weekend is a long weekend, apparently it’s for the Queens Birthday but that’s a whole other debate, and I’m really looking forward to having the time off. I’ve got so much to do around the house, around my blog, and well just around every where. It’s one of the advantages of having a broad range of interests,... (more...)
June Long Weekend 2007
Almost 12 months ago it started raining, it rained and rained and rained. Then the wind started, and it blew and blew. It rained so much and blew so hard that the streets filled with water because all the drains were blocked. Then a dirty great big ship landed on one of the city beaches and good times were had by all. (note the sarcasm) Well yesterday... (more...)
CPR / AED Awareness Week
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Each year, about 310,000 coronary heart disease deaths occur out-of-hospital or in emergency departments in the United States. Of those deaths, about 166,200 are due to sudden cardiac arrest – nearly 450 per day. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. Many victims appear healthy with no known heart...

Writing a good ‘About’ page
To really capture your audience and to get them to relate to you more I believe it is crucial to have a few key things on your blog / website. One of the most crucial ones is the ‘About‘ page. Apart from letting your readers know a bit more about your blog, you can also tell them a little more about yourself so that your readers have a better... (more...)
MPM Records - coming very soon!
Those who read my blog here on a daily basis will have seen the teaser image I posted last week when I had a head ache, well it wouldn’t have taken a brain surgeon to work out what it was all about but I figured I would fill you in on all the details anyway. Recently I was catching up with a mate and he was telling me how hard a time he was having... (more...)
2nd Anniversary, aka ‘Cath-iversary’
Today is our 2nd anniversary, well mine and my fiance’ Cath’s to be precise. We met on myspace (via mutual friends), we then met again at a BBQ I had at my house (I put some ice down the back of her shirt), we then met again at the Cambridge Hotel on a Wednesday night and I gave her a lift home and put my ‘moves’ on her…..and...

Redbubble
I’ve been a member of RedBubble for a little over a year and even though I’ve not had a large number of images up on my account for sale I’ve still actually managed to sell a couple of prints. I’ve done zero pr work, and hadn’t even blogged about it, but someone somewhere found a few images to their liking and have probably... (more...)
Canon 8800f Scanner
Over the weekend I bought a new film scanner, the Canon 8800f. It’s pretty awesome so far and to give it a test I dug through the cupboards at home and into my ‘archive’ of film negatives, slides, and medium format positives and negatives, and started scanning a bunch of stuff into Aperture. I was pretty happy with the quality of the... (more...)
Mathew Packer Photography update
Over the weekend, between scanning film, I also managed to get a load of updates done on my Mathew Packer Photography website. About a month or so ago I scrapped the Wordpress installation in favour of Pixel Post which I found a lot easier to use just as a photography website, I didn’t want to blog with it or anything else like that. So finally... (more...)
