It’s been a rather hectic couple of weeks in Brisbane.  I’d like to say its due to some sort of active social life but mostly, I think me and Jen have been eating out at restaurants a lot.  We’ve become so involved with wining and dining around Brisbane that we’re thinking of making a hobby out of it and keeping ...

Here’s the other half of the vodcast from last week. Next week, I should hopefully be able to update the site a lot more.  Jen’s off to a three-day conference down at the Gold Coast so I’ll have a lot of time on my hands. Have a good weekend! The Vodcast: Part Two The FAT Website crew discuss their favourite ...

Duncan Jones’ debut film Moon is one of the best surprises of the year.  The aesthetic of the film reminds me a lot of classic Seventies and Eighties sci-fi films where there was a greater sense of physicality and there isn’t the feeling of hollowness you can sometimes get when a production gets overreliant on computer effects.  Sam Rockwell is ...

While Mike and Matt were in Brisbane we had a go at recording a video podcast, or a ‘vodcast’.  Unfortunately, it didn’t really work.  We had six people, two video cameras (one which ran out of memory half way through recording), five regular cameras and no organisation for what we were going to talking about.  It took a little while ...

I was very pleased to hear a couple of days ago that Rod and Annie got engaged.  That guy sure took his sweet time about it.  They’ve been together a decade now!  I hear the wedding is in Brunei so, invites permitting, it sounds like it could be quite a nice opportunity for a Brunei Reunion…in Brunei. The last time ...

An unexpected pleasure in the past six weeks was the opportunity to meet Mike’s OCD music-obsessive Egyptian friend Adham who also travelled from Dubai to visit Australia.  During Mike and Matt’s return leg to Brisbane, Adham came along and hung out with us for a few days.  He was a lovely guy.  He seemed very earnest and happy to absorb ...

Today our office got word that we’re being closed down and the main onshore office will be established in Tasmania.  Fortunately, there’s plenty of forewarning:  It won’t be until around this time next year.  It was still very sad to hear though.  I’ve worked at the same company now for five years and have many close friends in the office.  ...

Its Aliens meets Die Hard meets Percy Montgomery.

With Mike and Matt leaving this morning, that was the last of the 30+ overseas visitors we had for our wedding returning home.  It was nice to see them all.  I’m looking forward to the group photo from the wedding taken by the photographer as a nice keepsake of the past six weeks. This rather eventful year continues this week ...

Hey Everyone, Just a quick update to introduce you all to The FAT Website Youtube Channel.  Previously, I had uploaded all the videos for the site under my personal account but since Youtube went widescreen and started taking down videos that had any music owned by Warner, most of the old content has been lost or has a weird screen ...
