Right-oh !

London-village is letting me roll with the punches, and im still here much to my own surprise..

Ive had a bit of work to do (!) recently, but have also been tinkering with converging all of my online service points... and so...

My Youtube account - YouTube

My Flickr account - Flickr

My Last.fm account - Last.fm

My Del.icio.us account - Del.icio.us

join me in my world...

:)

*Ive just got my N73 plugged-into Flickr and YouTube, so keep an eye out if you know me and don't want to be immediately broadcast onto the web... :)

Well, to all those who are yet to hear... Im now living in London.

I took a contract job three weeks ago working for BDPMedia, and im now a Senior Developer heading up a bunch of developers to produce some high-end elearning courseware.

Along with me, my good friend Pete Otaqui is also working in the same team, as is Ana Viegas, who we hired as our head designer.

London, its the place i loved to visit, but never really thought i would live in.
How things change.

Im really enjoying the work and the people, but i miss the countryside and the coast.

all good though, im lining-up a few weeks in Indonesia mid-summer, and then a couple of months in British Columbia sometime next winter.

Rock and Roll....

:)

peace.

I love france ...

Well, here we are.
Deep inside the Consumer Cathederal known as Christmas.

Its been a long couple of months, ive work - alot.
Not really been doing any riding of standards, apart from a couple of stormy, but nice, head-high days at Lynmouth.

But christmas is here.. again.. and im off to the hills for a short break before the onslaught of another year. Looking forward to going back to Les Arcs, staying with the guys at http://seventy3chalets.com/ , and eating the wonderful food... MMmmmm.

And the snow of course - though that is a bit thin on the ground at this point.

What else ?

Well, a short edit i made for Numusic has become quiet a hit in youtube ... 12000 hits in three days... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwfoCaLQ2cM

i think getting it on the front page of http://woostercollective.com/ might have helped, but props to Martyn - http://numusic.no/ - for the timely kick of my arse...

another edit is in the works featuring D*Face and Word to Mother.. eyes peeled..


Im also working with Alan to get the Les Arcs footage together into the film we've been planning mentally for 8 months.. its a bit rough, but we do have a quick teaser edit online here for those interested : http://www.mediumart.co.uk/ben/rendezvous/Rendezvous-spoiler.mov

Probably a bit big .. but hey-ho...

So, i better go and get my arse into gear and buy some pressies... tree.. food.. booze .. cards .. January Sales .. oh bugger.

More when im organised...

peace.

So... this is good. Im getting round to adding soem stuff here.

Its nearly November.. Jeezz... I can still see June clearly.. the whole summer in front of me.

So, Ive been busy, up in Landan, and Hemel, mostly, working on websites.
I did manage a few weeks in Les Arcs in August, big down-hills. MMmmm

I made it to the Big Chill this year, played the Castle stage with Longrange, top weekend.

The Rip Curl Boardmasters at Newquay was a typical zoo, as ever. some good conditions and some decent photos from it though.

and lastly, i made it out to Stavanger, Norway, for NuMusic, best festival ive been to in 5 years i reckon, word out to all the peeps out there and those in other places, Dface, Word to Mother, The fellas form the Grafitti Research Lab, Martin, Daniella, AK, the whole C6 crew, Spark, and all... and Ewan Pearson, for the bottle of vodka that might just have changed my life.

So, must be nearly christmas ?
time to head for the hills, board0riding time again.

Makes me want to o back to NZ.

Shit now im depressed.
more later,

b

and now, the time has come, we had a ball.. and whats more, much more than this, we did it my way.


whatever. each day is a gift.
