So today I'm 21... yay!

Am I supposed to feel a whole new maturity about myself? Not sure... I am pretty mature as it is so surely its enough :).

Another quick post...

So on Monday I picked up my new car, a 2007 Suzuki SX4 Sedan.
I don't know what else to say other than its awesome. Took a day to get used to it as i'm too used to driving my old '86 Holden Commodore VL Wagon.
As this is more of a quick post so I don't completely forget what to go more in depth with at a later stage - probably at a quiet time while at work - i'm not going into huge detail and will move straight onto the photo gallery... here.

The past few days I've been involved with the Melbourne Machinima Festival at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image at Federation Square.
I represented This Spartan Life along with my buddy Chris Burke who was flown in from New York for the event by ACMI.

We presented a live interview with Paul Marino using Halo 3 in campaign mode over Xbox Live. I won't go into who he is and what he does as its a bit much, you can check it out on WikiPedia if you wish.

I got to meet some really nice and interesting people, Frank Dellario from the Ill Clan, a professional Machinima production company; Armando Troisi from BioWare who was the lead cinematic designer for Mass Effect; Burnie Burns the creator/writer of Red vs. Blue; Ezra Fergusen the producer at Rufus Cubed who do World of Warcraft machinima, Rod Mayer the CEO of Beepa known most for their creation of Fraps - a tool used to capture video on a PC.
For info on what each person presented/talked about you can check out ACMI or Kotaku as I don't want to be regurgitating what everyone else has already said.

More to come...

So lately i've been putting alot of thought into my 21st Birthday Party, and haven't really made much progress at all.
Who to invite, who not to invite, where to have it, should I be generous with a tab or free drinks, what to do for music/entertainment, should it be themed... all things running across my mind.

Hopefully i'll make up my mind soon before it gets a bit late...

So this weekend I finally got around to making a .AU domain, only because they're worth the price now.  I remember them being $120 a pop, but now you can get one for about $25 for 2 years.
Ofcourse I had to jump through the government hoop of the ABN to get one but that was a simple 15min online process.

As you can see I haven't been writing here for quite some time... 6 months. Guess it shows I had other things on my mind, quite a few things have happened as usual but most wont be plastered here for all to see :).

I'm moving house yet again, this time back to the suburbs to be closer to my friends. Here in St Kilda is nice, close to the city, close to work, cheap cab rides home - but that only happenes every couple of weeks. I find I'm constantly doing a 50Km round trip to my mates places a couple of times a week and figure swapping around  would ease the travel a tad. True i'll still be doing about 200Km just to get to work and back every week it'll just be easier.
Moving house brings around the fun times of changing addresses (which i've already done for the most part even though I haven't actually moved yet... more down a bit in the page), organising ADSL and then actually moving all my crap.

So last week I went and got a car... yep... car. Brand-spanking-ex-demo-new.
Got a nice Suzuki SX4 Sedan with some nice factory accessories, should be able to pick it up by Wednesday and when I do ofcourse there will be many pics to show :).
Cost me a bit, and got a nice interest rate on the finance so thats  good... insurance was a bastard being the reason I had to change addresses early just to save money on the postcode.

What else is going on you may (or not...) ask?
I'm doing a live This Spartan Life (website | videos)show at the ACMI next Saturday (14th June)... pics and video to come for that too.
Then two weeks later i'll be headin out to Transmission (10pm - 7am Fri 27th June), followed by moving house at 10am on the 28th of June... then the following Monday i'm off to Cairns yet again. So yay busy busy busy!

More soon....
