Mo Kargas (@mokargas)

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Follow these people

I’ve never met Mo. You might think I’m afraid of him because he’s scary lookin’ or because he’s a “400ft tall doomsday megabot” but I’m not. I just haven’t had the opportunity yet. He isn’t scary online though — in fact he’s quite the opposite. His avatar shoots laser beams from his eyes, but I’m sure they’re laser beams of joy.

I’ve followed Mo soon after I joined Twitter. He’s one of the more active Adelaide Twitterers, despite the fact that he’s unapologetically a Friendfeed fanboy. He’s just as active on both services though, and happily pops in and out of both to carry on cheerful conversations with his many followers. He’s helpful and talented, and an inspiration with his (rassafrassin) custom workouts. He tweeted the beginning of his plan to get fit, and has reported huge successes since, showing tremendous determination.

His ReactionDynamics site showcases his photography and 3D design work, as well as his impressive resume. It also contains a picture of Mo with his sweet Abraham Lincoln beard.

If you wanna follow someone who’s well known to both Twitterers and Friendfeeders alike, who sometimes talks like a robot, has a wicked wit, and is and all-around overachiever, follow @mokargas. And on Friendfeed too, if that’s your thang.

Beau Giles (@BeauGiles)

This entry is part 3 of 6 in the series Follow these people

Beau is one of my few core Twitterers who I haven’t actually ever met in person. But he’s the epitome of what the internet means for relationships for me. Though we’ve never met I’ve known him for about a year now, and I respect his knowledge of technology, I appreciate his perspective as a high school student, and I love his enthusiasm and sense of humour on Twitter.

He was one of the first people to follow me on Twitter (out of the blue), and then a few days later emailed me for access to a locked website I administer. I’m pretty certain it was completely coincidental but if he hadn’t added me to Twitter I would have given him access, as it was only through Twitter I knew he was a high school student and not a teacher as I would have assumed — HA!

I’ve followed his websites in their various incarnations over the last year. Unfortunately I’ve only realised in writing this that his entire site has moved AGAIN, and I need to re-subscribe to his blog. It’s packed with tips and tech news and obviously updated a lot more often than I’ve been thinking for the last month or so!

If you want to follow someone who’s full of energy and enthusiasm, is a little quirky, has a passion for geekery, and I suspect may have a little of the drama queen in him you can find him on Twitter @beaugiles.

Lord Folland (@lordfolland)

Lord Folland of Albion (or David as he was known before he took the throne of Albion in a bloody muddy coup) has been a mate of mine for years. We used to attend the same church, and had enormous fun making videos together and editing them on his eMac(?) iMac.

And the addition of Beau Giles brings me to 16.

Thank you Beau — your subscription brings me to 16 subscribers in Feedburner!

Feedburner stats for March 2008 Pitiful… Absolutely pitiful

And if that was you that actually clicked on one of my feed items, you’ve given me a feedburner “reach” of one! Hooray! I’m popular! I can use exclamation marks! See?!

On another more serious note, Hittail.com suggests that I should be writing about “bible comic strips” and “allinurl blog”…

I suspect that Hittail might be getting confused.

Introducing… Peanut

Today is the day. Most of you already know, but today I get to write about it.

I’m gonna be a daddy. My wife of five years is pregnant and we couldn’t be happier. Our little Peanut (as we’re calling him ) is 12 weeks old already and due late July.

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.

Oranges. Big Oranges.

During my last holidays, Mil and I went to Canberra to see some family we haven’t seen in ages. It was very relaxing.

Before we left, Anna and Andrew gave us strict instructions to take a photo in front of something big (Australia is renowned for our big things). So on the way back we stopped in Berri at the Big Orange. We took a couple of photos, but this was the coolest.

So there you have it. Proof that we can’t not do exactly what our friends tell us to.
