Moving Sale
Rob has moved to live spaces:

I'm moving the personal blog over to live spaces because it gives me more freedom and it's slightly easier to administer.
Please read/post at that location
Please help sponsor Men's health
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growin' a moustache. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about changing the state of men’s health.
Please consider sponsoring myself or others in my Readify team to grow moustaches during 'Movember'. All proceeds go to help research into Men's health (cancer and depression).

Those who sponsor me will (besides...

Back from Hong Kong/Hunter Valley
Hi All,
So Toni and I had a blast in Hong Kong. It was quite a trip, we packed a lot into the time we had (as usual), and it was all very interesting.
We went on a couple of tours – one lasted over 17 hours – and generally got to see much more than the usual shopping precincts. The weather was 50/50, it rained about half the time, but we still managed to see a lot.
Finally, if anyone is going to Hong Kong – please email, because we have two valid Octopus cards (used for public transport, vending machines etc) which we’d be glad to give along with some travel books (Lonely Planet...
