Predictions for 2006

I'll be away from Dec 23 and back to work part time Jan 3. Full time Jan 9. While I'm at it, I'd like to say thanks to everyone - clients and fellow freelancers alike - I've worked with in 2005. It's been a great year, and 2006 is looking even better! Hope you all have a great holiday!

Predictions for next year? Here's a few on the topics of blogging, online video, RSS feeds, e-marketing, web development, interactive design, new media, more new media, and a bunch of silly things.

My prediction is that many people will be glad they didn't put too much money on the predictions they made in December 2005.

Spare a thought

... for Debbie and Angela at Honey Body Salon. Their business burned down in the middle of the night earlier this week. They're two girls my age who have worked really hard to grow a thriving small business. They employ 8 people and now, in their busiest time of year, this happens. Hope to see the salon open again soon.

Booty Camp

I've just finished this little website for the latest thing in fitness - Booty Camp. Classes are held right here at Manly Beach and although it sounds pretty grueling I hear it's loads of fun.

Day spa menu

- Indian pressure point massage
- Custom blended aromatherapy massage
- Avocado & shea butter deep moisturising treatment
- Warm patchouli infused oil wrap
- Anti stress marine treatment with seaweed wrap
- Organic herbal body wrap
- Detoxifying mineral body mud masque
- Tangerine blossom exfoliation
- Aromatic salt glow
- Paw massage, soak and polish
- Mango and melon sore paws rehydration
- Nail grooming
- Hair cutting and styling

No this menu isn’t from the spa at the W Hotel – it’s from a new ‘dog spa’ opening in Sydney soon.

I know what Bug would do if someone tried to give him an “anti stress marine treatment with seaweed wrap”. It involves teeth.

Totally insane. Even for me.
