Visiting Key West

Posted by Kristian Golding on December 13, 2009

My parents have arrived back safely in Oz after their trip over here for the wedding (I’ll post another update about that later tonight), but before they left we took them to see Key West. Although we didn’t get to see the ideal sunset at Mallory Square because it was too cloudy, we did get to see some awesomely massive bubbles, and a nice gimmick where the dog would go around collecting tip money. The next night at Bahia Honda state park we watched the sun set in a completely cloudless sky. Here are some photos, the whole set is here.

Iâ€™m on a boat!

Well, I *was* on a boat. A few days before the wedding we had the opportunity to go on a boat around the bay of Miami with my family, courtesy of friends of Adriana’s parents. It was awesome.

The full set (including a few photos from Wet Willie’s beforehand) is here.

Here are some sample photos from the ride:

Ideas and thoughts

Posted by Kristian Golding on October 22, 2009

I haven’t been able to be much of a couch potato lately, what with all the wedding organising going on and due dates for work deliverables shouting out “you’ve forgotten about me!”

I haven’t, dear deliverables.

So some part of my brain, the part that likes to be a couch potato, came upon an idea at lunch time. How about creating a device that replaced your dreams with your Netflix queue, or the contents of your DVR while you slept? Then, your dreams wouldn’t be dreams anymore but rather what you wanted to be watching while sitting on the couch, but of course you don’t have the time to do that anymore… but you do while you sleep!

But then I decided that would be a silly idea. You’d forget what happened in the movie half an hour after you woke up.

I like watching Glee. I like watching musicals. I liked being a part of one in high school. I think I’ve watched “Grease” too many times to admit. I think I’ve admitted too much.

Have I mentioned that I really like Inca Kola? I really like it. There. Thank you to Adriana for locating the diet version today, and for buying two six-packs. The diet is really quite difficult to find. The great thing is that the diet and normal versions taste exactly the same, so I can drink a six pack of diet in one night and not have the Wii balance board scold me in the morning.

I think that’s the end of my ideas and thoughts for today. I think I’ll drink another Inca Kola.

Being shagged by a parrot

I found this gem earlier today on my BBC youtube feed, and I just cannot stop watching it. The ‘look’ on the bird’s face, the awesome Englishman commentary… it’s just fantastic.
