Indian Adventures!
November 28, 2010For the last week I have been at an customer engagement in Bangalore. This is my second trip to India and I always love experiencing the Indian culture.

Tarantula!
November 14, 2010Got a bit carried away with some magic purchases and trying to master this at the moment. I tend to get better at these things after a few beers so will wait and see if I can ever polish the act as good as the legendary Yigal Mesika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qdVbgJ40ds

Edinburgh Rat Race 2010
July 25, 2010My favourite adventure race. Orienteering round Edinburgh on foot and on bike with a complete mixture of activities for bonus points from karaoke to abseiling.
