So its been a year since I started this blog and I’ve never thought of it as a place where more than a few friends and family visit and leave comments on…

However, there is a function that lets me see the analytics for the site by month/day etc and I always find it a pretty weird read…the country list in particular never fails to surprise me.

The first two countries are pretty likely but who do I know in Spain? Is it all just bots and spammers, or are there really over hundred visits from the Chinese? Anyone actually from France out there? “European country?” Russia? Egypt??

Feel free to say hello!?

I guess the internet is a pretty random place…

Came across this Aussie guys work – 7D footage and then 3ds Max and After Effects produces some interesting visuals…

These Go Pro Cameras are pretty tough little things…80,000ft up in 2 hours and back down in 30 minutes…

Around the world and back again…

Skype is so normal now but seems like decent quality video wasnt really possible even a few years back…

Miss ya sis…

Brain Farm are producing some of the best HD films I’ve seen.

Some of their toys are amazing and the added ability of having effectively an endless dolly (using heli, truck, buggy, sled) gives all their work such a unique feel…

It took me a little while to work it out but I think Shaun White has made my site stats go mad…

Normally I get anything from 50-100 hits a day.

A few days ago things started spiking a bit…

Google seems to like my photos as this has happened a few times before but my Shaun White double cork images from the NZ Open feature really high in any search…

I know I’m a little late on this as it is now the highest grossing film of all time by a long way, but finally got round to seeing Avatar.

I took Flo to the Imax in Sydney to see it in 3D (biggest Imax screen in the world) and we were both pretty blown away by it.

The size of the screen plus the slightly ridiculous 3D glasses left us a bit spun out at times, but after hearing all the hype from people I was preparing to be disappointed. I wasnt.

If you havent seen this film you need to, partly because its a David Vs Goliath film and we all love the underdog, and partly because it has now set a pretty significant bench mark for the future of cinema… There is also gonna be a sequel apparently.

On the way through Darling Harbour to the IMAX we passed a pretty odd sight: An English man with a strapped on microphone on a BMX suspended 20ft up in the air telling everyone how he was going to juggle with fire…random.

We also stopped by to see the Year of the Tiger exhibit at Customs house.

Brighton Beach (the Sydney version)

Here is the trailer, just in case you need a reason to go see the movie.

Interesting concept… Anyone in the US? I’d like to know what this is like when you actually play around with it…
