New Zealand Bungy Jumps

Monday, February 20th, 2006

I finally got around to doing something with our Bungy footage from our New Zealand Vacation in February 2005. The largest one is the Nevis Highwire Bungy - a 134M jump from a cablecar. :-)

The file is around 16MB, so if you are on a slow connection I’d recommend hitting play, then pause the file until the bar builds up along the bottom. When it nears the end, press play.

SuperBowl BBQ

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

For some reason the SuperBowl BBQ turned into (what we like to call) a “Canadian BBQ”. This seems to involve ridiculously large flames. See pic below of Mark attempting to burn off his eyebrows :-)

Jules deserves a ton of credit for preparing food, and making a huge pot of Chilli which went down very well with everyone.

Jules Leaving Night

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

My last day at work was pretty strange, it wasnt like I was leaving to go to another job or leaving the Country so it sort of didnt feel like I was leaving. I have however left, I got an excellent bottle of Ralph Lauren Pink perfume and a $100 voucher for the Beneton group of companies (Shannon’s the best :o). The voucher has already been spent.

Anyway, back to the night out. Everyone there got drunk on ACT (thank you to Dave Bart for buying a few rounds) for the first portion of the evening. I had a great time chatting with everyone, getting emotional, it had to happen eventually, and out of all that came one of the best night out photos I’ve seen. Its of Jill and I, neither of us looking that drunk and it shows our best sides………. See for yourself.

After drinks and most people had left I went to the Coconut Rock Sushi Bar with Tosha and Vernal (thanks for treating me, next one is on me). Its the best sushi I’ve had so far and I even liked the Shrimp dishes. Had a good laugh in there, even saw a grown man crying after he ate slighlty too much wasabi.

All in all it was a really good night out.

First Video Post

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Posting a little Music Video I made around our skydive and bungy jumps in Las Vegas. The Video is around 14MB, so it will take forever on dial-up but will be fine on DSL and up.
