Just popped on the PC for a few minutes - it's my son's birthday tomorrow and I've spent the evening blowing up balloons, wrapping presents and the like ready for the morning.
My partner and I also went to a training course run by the Speech & Language Therapy Service within Humber NHS this evening to help us in developing the little ones speech, it was really good and I'm looking forward to the next session.
Well, Dreamhack, basically the worlds biggest LAN party, in Sweden, has just ended.
And in a handful of days, the latest i-series, i47, the biggest LAN party in the UK, will be beginning.
I am not going to either.
I'm not bitter.
Honest.
Anyway, the ace thing I wanted to point out today is this website - http://www.ridiculo.us/
They do ridiculous things (surprise surprise) and currently what they're doing is faking a marathon.
Basically the way it works is this:
You donate some money to them via their Kickstarter page (Kickstarter is another fantastic thing by the way for people to raise money for their project, whatever it is), you get a pack of stuff like a sticker to put on your t-shirt with a number on it, you then post on your Facebook all about the race - that you're gearing up for the race, etc - get a photo of yourself running by a road somewhere, and get that on Facebook - and when the race ends, you'll also go up on their website with a finishing time and everything.
It's just like taking part in a marathon. Except for the getting tired bit.
Ace!
