- Don’t spend a cent week
The first 3 days of my don’t spend a cent week have gone very well. No complaints. Have not spent a dime, not even for food. Chris Nolan would be proud! Now I thought it would be quite easy to do this but… I have a challenge: what to do about food this weekend? I mean this week was pretty ok. We usually have a weekly lunch in the office and I had a couple of business lunches/dinner which kind of took care of feeding me. But the weekend is coming up. Perhaps I am taking this "don’t spent a cent" too far. Chris, was it supposed to include not spending money on food as well?
Oh la la.
Now the worst part: I am dying for a coffee from Mercury Organic. I mean litteraly dying for it – understandable, they make the best espresso or americano in this town. This is nuts! This is what happens when you can’t have something. Perhaps someone will buy me a coffee? But that’s not right because they will be spending money. I should simply do without until next week. Voila.
See what you have done Chris!

- Ingenious
Ingenious, fantastic and awesome mouse trap via Eli. This is really for Clare in our office who has it in for our office mouse (a cute little grey city mouse who loves chocolate).
- Tech TV
I recorded a Visual Seach episode with the Tech-TV crew,
namely Leo Laporte and his team. I am not used to TV, lights, cameras and
honestly if it was not for the wonderful welcome of Amber and Leo I would have
never made it. Believe me I love – and I mean I love – talking about our
technology but there is something eerie about TV. I hope the episode works out.
I am looking forward to it. Leo was so incredibly welcoming, whaouh! And Amber
– oh a geek girl close to my heart! Need I say more? Awesome Amber.I will let you know when the episode airs on TV.
