Those of you that know me will be aware of my love of “Top Gun“.

It appears that the US Navy is decommisioning their fleet of F-14 Tomcats in preparation for the transition to Super Hornets. The final active duty carrier landing occured on February 8th.

Now, time to start scouring eBay :)

Tully has an interesting coupon you can redeem when buying a new computer from his company, Nintek.

Here’s an interesting bunch of photos that give a good insight into what life is like at Google. I didn’t see half of this stuff, but it doesn’t surprise me at all.

I had a pretty good weekend.

For the second week in a row I ran home from the city drunk. It’s a good way to get exercise, burning off the carbs (beer) I hope.

I went to Daniel’s buck’s party at Sandgate and had a few brews while enjoying conversation with some nude women. Time to think about planning Dij’s buck’s I think…

Here’s a cool snap from my pool party last month. I’m really attached to Lennon.

He’s the coolest :)

We had breakfast with Luke, Nic, Cindy and Shannon on Saturday at Embers in Gooseberry Hill. It was a great start to the weekend and a refreshing change. Yesterday we had breakfast with Mark and Emma at their place. Today was breakfast at Farrell’s. Three from three.

I built some more Lego robots over the weekend. I find it’s quite relaxing. They’re currently standing on my desk and look quite menacing. In a cool idea, you can download building instructions for two other robots which are made by combining two of the four sets with each other. As I have all four now I could build both of the other robots, but I’ll leave that for another time. I just thought it was a good idea on Lego’s part. If I didn’t work for TFG I’d want to work for Lego.

Speaking of Lego, my shirt came in the mail today. It combines two of my favourite things: Lego and technology. The character is Steve Wozniak, the creator of the first Apple computer.

The shirt’s huge - maybe XL was a bit on the excessive side!

I should point out that it’s a genuine 6500 chip (as used in the Apple I and Atari 2600) attached to the shirt with a magnet. It needs to be removed for each wash. The washing instructions indicate that there was three suppliers of the chips, and that they can’t guarantee what device each chip came out of, like people only want a 6500 that was in an Apple, or something.

Geeky to the max!

When we got our new shirts made up for work I had a patch for my gi made also.

Personalization of your gi is promoted in Brazilian Jii Jitsu. I think it looks cool :)
