Far out, could the console wars get any crazier? And they havn’t even started! Now Microsoft has upped the ante with their E3 “Interactive Xbox booth map”…
see it for yourself.

I would have to say I have had the best day yet in my new job. Every now and again a team fires on all cylinders and creates something truly spectacular. I know it was just a HTML email… but we pulled off a ripper. The design worked, the mailout worked, (using a combination of ColdFusion and SQL server) and everyone involved (including outsiders) were very pleased to see such a fantastic result. There was one problem (there’s always something right?) that otherwise would have made it perfect but, all in all happy days are here to stay at the end of the day!
Thanks Robbie, Grant and Dave for pulling off a ripper!
Here’s the email, in all it’s beauty…

Didn’t have the nicest day today. I won’t go into too many gory details but I’m just trying to deal with a few dissapointments, everything seems to be crashing around me. I seem to be loosing my fire, I need to stoke it up a bit. I did go to the art gallery today and experinced Renior, Piccaso, Cessane and Monet. I really liked Cessane and Reniour, I was particularly impressed with Renior’s brush work. Also there was only one of Picasso’s examples of qubism, which was quite dissapointing. Anyhow, I’ll be back on my feet soon.

I wish everyone would leave me alone. I just need space. Do you ever feel like that? Like the world is pressing in and your shell is being invaded? I am a people person, but ironically I’m an introvert, one who needs space from time to time, time alone. Other times I need to be with people, to share in their experince, to take and recieve, and I hope, to nurture, encourage and mentor. this is not one of those times. I just need space, I give and give, is it time to take? Is there a place for selfness after a time of selflessness?

Web builder is one of my favourite places. It’s jammed with news about the world of web development.

Good friends are for life.
I guess you find a friend in the person you least expect. Only one person who noticed my absence from church last night made contact with me today (via email) wondering how I was going. Who it was was a bit of a shock… I was suprised, even more suprised when he invited me around for dinner with he and his wife. We had a great time just talking and enjoying a fantastic Indian curry. It’s funny how God places just the right person in your path when you most need it, cus’ this guy also happens to be a pastors son as well. He understood my need to find my own identity and not my identity in my father.

Well… I broke up with my girlfriend. What a blow, we really gave it a go to make it work. Sometimes you just can’t “make” things happen though.
