Not much here yet, except news on the right, photos, and everything I’m doing on Twitter:

Computers Again

I wrote a post a while ago about how it can be a tad annoying being asked to fix people’s computers. I recently found this on digg that illustrates it:

Nice Blog

I randomly came across this blog the other day. Kind of the antithesis of my blog, mine being minimalist (apple inspired) white, compared to the explosion of colour that presents itself at bealivebelievebeyou.com, and if I scanned in my handwritten journal entries for you to read, all that would be on my blog is a big mess. Still I like the style of that blog a lot.

Life Matters

When I quit my full time job so that I could do livewire, I wrote a post outlining some goals now that I had more time to do things. As it turns out 2007 was one of the best years of my life, and I learnt far more about life and about myself than I ever would have imagined. I highly recommend a year out for any of you, and that you don’t have to believe the lie that you need a career or conventional job to be happy. Still here’s a quick review of last years goals:

  • Read the bible more - definitely, not through more discipline, but seeing new things about God and wanting too.
  • Pray more - ditto
  • Get REAL good at guitar - I got better, but never got lessons
  • Practice trumpet - deferred (see below)
  • Get singing lessons - hmmm, might not do
  • Run twice a week - YES! and more
  • Pushups/Situps everyday - a bit inconsistent, but yes

    • I’m still wondering where my life is heading, and it looks like for at least another year I’ll be limited to doing one thing full time. While I don’t want a repeat of the last 6 months of trying to do EVERYTHING I possibly can, and feeling very exhausted and under appreciated in the process, there are a few things I want to make sure I do do:

  • Practice trumpet
  • See a councillor
  • Be cash positive
  • Program Zest
  • Spread certain church responsibilites
  • Love people (ok I’m going to fail, but we’ve all got to try)

    Love the iPhone

    I know I’m obsessed with Apple products but the iPhone is seriously cool. So far I’m loving having email where ever I am and the facebook app is cool too.

    I’ve just installed the new wordpress app, and I’m blogging to you from my iPhone. The picture is taken with it as well. It’s us gate crashing a dance reversal at Sha Tin town hall. Very random!

    I’ve also started to use twitterific to update my facebook and adium status using http://apps.facebook.com/twitter and http://adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=3484
