Invisible children update

Just watched a moving 30 minute movie which is a follow up of the invisible children movie released a few years ago. It follows the efforts of people and leaders all over, trying to free thousands of child soldiers in Uganda. Its a genuine project that is gaining momentum and hearts around the world.

Falling at 200km per hour

Yesterday I scored a deal and took to the skies over Taupo in a miniature plane. I did a sky dive from 15000 feet and it was one of the most exhilarating yet peaceful experiences of my life. 60 seconds of freefall that seemed to go so fast yet so slow. It was the most beautiful day with only a few clouds so I could see from Mt Taranaki to Mt Ruapehu to Napier on the East coast... incredible! Lake Taupo was shimmering in all her glory and the skydive instructor I was strapped to gave me the reigns of the parachute for a few twists and turns at around 4000 feet.

I would recommend the jump for any thrill seeker, Taupo gives amazing scenery and the team at Taupo Tandem Skydiving were a good bunch.

Linear

I just bought the new U2 album 'No Line on the Horizon' - Deluxe edition from itunes. It was released worldwide this week. It sure lives up to U2's standards and comes with a 58minute video with their feature 'Linear'. It's a biker's paradise, I haven't even finished watching it all and it has already taken me to another place... speaking of bikes, I just passed my restricted motorcycle licence. Stoked I can now ride on the motorways legally, what a good feeling.
