Movember

I don't make a habit of asking for charitable donations, but this is a cause that is very important to me. I am now two weeks into my moustache growing efforts (pictures available at the link below!) and it would be great to see some support for a charity that will make a very positive difference to the lives of many men.

Back after week off 
It seems that the next row of 
desks is closer still 


Pizza work do mail 
Epic fail - hit reply all 
Broadcast my choices 


The day's third coffee 
Starts to have an effect on 
My sleep deprived brain 


I'm going to try 
Reading Siri a haiku 
My goodness - it works! 


Mechwarrior's back 
As free to play MMO 
Big stompy robots!
