Barry is our first foray back into the realm of 'premium' TV in a little while. I've been excited to watch it, as I've long been a fan of Bill Hader and appreciating his acting range post-SNL.
Home Fires
We had a great time visiting the art exhibition of a few friends (who are both ridiculously talented.
Children of Men
I've been wanting to watch Children of Men for quite a while. I studied the book in school, and quite enjoyed it.
Should all Church Websites look the same?
Oh look - BigAwesome Church has just launched a brand new website. It looks awesome - really modern and engaging, lots of personality. Let's take a look at the homepage... A nice black or white panel at the top with the logo in it? Check. BIG full width image at the top? Check. How about [...]
KCC Basecamp
Basecamp is a men's conference run by Katoomba Christian Conventions each year. In 2015 they upped the ante - including a Sydney-based one-day event and coming up with a great brand for the theme.

Recapping Hackagong 2013

I teamed up once again with Rhys Powell (a super slick young web/iOS dev) and we managed to pump out a really polished final product by the end of the weekend. We created Whispr: a web app that allows private disposable chat without accounts, and without the need for a native app.
