Long time, no love!! How did it get to Sept?!

Wow, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since my last post..I can't believe it's almost SEPTEMBER!! We have been OUT OF CONTROL busy these last 9 weeks.. Turned out, as per my post below, that we made it on to the reality show (yay!), and are still filming for another 2 weeks.

It has been nuts.. Our learning curve has been straight up, vertical even, and we've been privileged to meet with some real big names in marketing, business development and all sorts of other things we hadn't thought a business needed :o) hehe.


The show will air in New Zealand on TVNZ in October. We're in the final few weeks of the show now and have some serious challenges on our plate to wind up the comp. We have to increase the BUZZ around our product and get traffic soaring, so it's a huge ask.. But then the other 3 companies have equally hard things to accomplish.

Oh oh - in other exciting news we will finally move out of the home office and in to our own office space!! I say 'we' but really I still work full time for the Blind. Just do nights & wknds on our stuff. While Rich works full time on our software, and does nights & wknds doing contract work for Whistler Blackcomb! busybusy.. We have a new junior developer on board and our old partner Dan has upped and quit his job in London and jumps on a plane next week to come back & work with us too - YIPPPEE!

Anyhoo - enough business chit chat. Rich and I, shockingly, seem capable of nothing else these days - BORING!!


Here's a few photos of last weekend in Sydney, we managed a fleeting visit on the back of a conference I was attending for my real job at RNZFB ;o)
