Sorry, no pony for you.

I didn't end riding down to Bondi nor did it rain, not riding turned out to be a safe idea, there were a lot of nutbags and trashbags encountered on the drive there.

Now I understand why the people behind the Bioshock2 marketing stunt held it at the frigid break of dawn. It's not so it would provide an eerie environment for

a Big Daddy to appear on the beach or the morning mist to reveal an approaching boat, upon which the faithful fans and dedicated jurnos would be showered with photo ops or information.

Who ever had done this (ninjas) had used the cover of dawn to plant plastic bottles on the beach (bottles and contents pictured below). They then ran to cover to watch the people gather together in shivering clumps of fooled penguins, pick up the bottles, wait and then look wistfully towards the ocean. Pff... I don't know, how about having someone dispensing some of those bottles with actual merlot inside for the oldies and energy drink for the sprites? It's not that hard to do.

Still, it was all a bit of an adventure, I gained some plastic propaganda to junk my place with (docs could look kind of cool framed), made some new friends and the beach at dawn was pretty special. RT @aussie_kozy Sunrise at Bondi http://twitpic.com/d2tva

Well played ninjas, well played.

Thank you @RoboticButtocks for taking pics while I was bbq'n.

Big Daddy Mania

In Sydney the poly world seems to be leaching into the real, yesterday and today it was the Halo Warthog appearance at Cockatoo Island.

In hindsight I should have jumped an unsuspecting journalist and attended in his place. mmmmm James Kozanecki skin suit.

Tomorrow dawn will be the Bioshock2 marketing dooby wacky at Bondi Beach. Had a hard time convincing RoboticButtocks to go,

but good god man, it is cutting into to his sleeping time. It'll be an adventurous bike ride especially so since it is forecast to

rain tomorrow (ssssssh don't tell Buttocks).

Still have to find out where exactly on Bondi Beach it will be.... but dammit I'll ride a Big Daddy yet or get a photo with one.

Until then I'll make do with moaning and stomping around the house.

So here is my gaming pain; we have 2 x 360 in our household, one (Robotic's) is hooked up to a projector and the other (mine) to a sony crt monster

and the monster carked it last week. On occasion, I get to play a Half Life2 game I had started on Robotic's console before I got my own.

A chip was from the US and a friend is going to come around on Sunday to fix it. I'm praying to the maker he can do it. We are taking him to

the Roosters v Tigers game on Sunday to say thank you, if he fails, I get to keep his girlfriend
