What is your reason/motivation for blogging?

I blog to promote my book 'Tech girls are chic, not just geek' www.techgirlsarechic.org - which is a not for profit project aimed at smashing the geek stereotype and encourage school girls to consider a career in Information Technology. The book is distributed free to school girls across Australia, with 8000 distributed in Australia and overseas since March 2008. I use the blog as a way to communicate the various activities that involve the book (such as careers events and expos where it is distributed for free). I dont know how many people read it but at least it is a way for me to keep track of everything that happens.

I have been taking lots of photos lately. Last weekend I took 2,222 photos for Kitty’s Wedding, from which I have uploaded 474 of Kitty’s wedding to my flickr account, and a few of the very best to my RedBubble Account where they can be purchased.

Moreton Bay Regional Homeschoolers Group 1st Annual Art Show.

Yesterday Jethro Management sponsored a homeschoolers Art Show. Along with numerous place prizes we also picked the best in the competition and awarded a $50 gift voucher to one very excited and talented artist, Joel. There was some spectacular art by the children and it was very hard choosing first place. Joels 3 dimensional seascape is shown below. More art competition photos on Flickr.

Last night I went to the 5th Brisbane Girl Geek Dinner – Guitar Hero Night.

Once again I got some awesome shots of the girls playing games. All the Girl Geek Dinner photos are up on Flickr.
