A small update

To be honest, since my last Christmas updates I haven’t really been up to much. I’ve been working quite a bit and frisbee just getting back to full steam but things have been quiet over the last few weeks. For me this has meant a lot of time spent on the internet. It’s been the usual stuff mostly (a lot of Cracked.com) but I thought I’d share a few of my new internet places:

I’ve been writing on a friend’s blog a bit. I’ve been writing some game reviews with the catch being that they cannot be longer than 100 words. It’s good fun to do and keeps me thinking and writing. Check out all my reviews here.
After shooting to (relative) fame after his trick shot videos, Brodie Smith of Doublewide has been doing daily vlogs on YouTube. His vlogs mostly revolve around ultimate and him trying to earn a living from a sport that has no professional players (until the AUDL starts this year). It’s really interesting to track his progress in this uncharted territory as well as to get some insight on training techniques and things that can help make me a better ultimate player.
I’m really keen on getting into making some music so have been looking at the various digital audio workstations (DAW; e.g. Logic Pro, Pro Tools, ect.) that are available and seeing where to start. Partly inspired by Ben’s foray into DJing and also something that I have wanted to have a stab at for a while. I haven’t really got started with that yet as I am waiting until the new iMac is released but I’ve been doing a bit of reading and seeing what I can do to get a running start
Various flight websites. I’ve spent so much time on all of the various flight comparison sites that I’m just getting annoyed with them. I’m planning a bit of travelling this year so I need a bunch of flights. So far I’d like to go back to the UK around April time, volunteer at WFDF World Championships at Osaka, Japan in June and I’m meeting my family in Florida, USA for a nice relaxing family holiday (and some theme parks). Obviously, all of this travelling is going to be expensive!
Kirsty’s Germany blog. Kirsty (Matt Plant’s girlfriend if you’re missing the connection) is flying to Germany this Saturday to work for 3 months. I’ve been reading what little she has already written and both interesting and funny. Hopefully there will be more to read when she gets out there but so far so good!

Also, my stuff form the UK finally arrived! I know, it’s only been 3 months! It was all going swimmingly until I tried to boot my PC. Blue screen after blue screen. Crap. I’m sending some details of my problems off to the insurance company but the PC isn’t worth a great deal anyway. I just hope my data is OK!

My stuff arriving also meant that I now have a lot more clothes. This many in fact:
