Blog Standard Stuff

You know, I wouldn’t say that I am. I don’t go out of my way to get myself seen, but I always seem to ‘do stuff’ rather than let it happen (I wish that were true of my activities on the web, too, in which I’ve been distinctly passive of late – if you excuse the book writing and tech editing that I’ve been doing, that is). But this week I seem to have got myself in print in a few places:

• First there is the book Campervan Crazy, which has the wife on the front cover (and my bus), a piece that I wrote for them inside and, something that I’d forgotten about, a whole-page picture I took back in the mid 90s at a VW show.
• There’s the Vanfest programme cover, something I knocked together in the hope of getting a free entry to the show (which I was not able to take advantage of in the end!) – it won, so my bus made it on to the cover for Europe’s biggest VW van-owner’s get-together.
• There was a piece I wrote in the company magazine (Nationwide’s staff publication) about my book-writing (the Sitepoint book) which featured a picture of me posing in front of the bus with a laptop at the ready (this pic here)
• And the latest is that I’ve just discovered that our wedding photos are going to appear in the next issue of Wedding Ideas magazine (submitting them was Manda’s idea, I should add!)

So, what should I do next week to better that? I have a few days free, might as well make the most of it ;-)
