For all the things in life which make me glad I'm not dead yet.

Monster Madness
Apr 19th
While I was contemplating “where is my career going?” yesterday I decided to start building a CV on Monster.co.uk to see if perhaps I’d be better served looking at a new role in another company. What I certainly didn’t expect was for my phone to be ringing every 20 minutes with agencies offering me various More ...
The Flight Back
Apr 13th
Well, this is it — the end of our holiday. Mercifully the return flight was a lot less painful than the flight out there. Having the shorter trip first made a big difference I think; after 10 hours on a plane the last thing you want to do is step right onto another one, but More ...
The Grand Canyon
Apr 12th
Probably the most depressing part of the Holiday was seeing how even the native tribe fo the hala-whatever-tutu are abuing the Grand Canyon. We went to the SkyWalk, which I have to say was a huge disappointment. I had infinitely more fun larking about on the rocks and near the edge of the canyon itself More ...
The Wedding
Apr 11th
The big day; the reason for our trip in the first place. The “Little chaple of the West” certainly was little. The ceremony lasted a marathon 5 minutes 50 seconds, give or take, and the certificate of marriage came complete with an annulment form I understand More ...
Arcade Heaven
Apr 9th
We went to SEGA GameWorks; 5 hours playing in the Arcade for $15 — Absolute bargain. Right next door to which is, of all, things, M&M’s World! More ...
Penn & Teller
Apr 8th
We decided to wander over to the Rio to pick up tickets for Penn & Teller, unfortunately we didn’t realise quite how far off the strip it was — it was probably an hour walk in the end, right along the highway! I haven’t seen Penn & Teller perform since sometime back in the early More ...
Blue Man Group
Apr 7th
Our first proper day in Vegas; we walked down the strip stopping off at various places along the way; we took a trip up the Eiffel Tower in Paris to get a view of the Strip. We went to see the Blue Man Group in the evening; the tickets were pretty pricey, but the show More ...
Viva Las Vegas!
Apr 6th
Up at the crack of dawn to head to the airport. God knows how many hours in the air/waiting at airports, but I finally made it to Vegas (via Dallas — my God that’s one huge airport). We’ve done little else other than travel all day! More ...
Lost Planet Target Mark Guides Completed
Apr 3rd
I completed the Lost Planet target mark guides this morning, adding in the marks for Hard mode. At the same time I decided to completely overhaul the design of the guides with using some Javascript I found at A List Apart. As for my personal progress towards Master Pioneer; I’ve obtained all Target marks on More ...
