Haven't had time to post properly lately as I've been extra busy. Hopefully the Tweeting makes up for that. The good news is that things are going splendidly on all fronts!

1. I've been doing new *Precinct* animation (well... really a jumped-up animatic with some colour) for the [Sydney Opera House's GRAPHIC animation competition](http://play.sydneyoperahouse.com/index.php/graphic/index.1.html?ref=nakedfella.com), and it's paying off -- *The Precinct* is in the finals! Winning would mean $20,000 of production money coming our way, which is very exciting. If you want to help us win the audience award, voting opens July 26\. [Follow me on Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/nakedfella?ref=nakedfella.com) or [become a fan of *The Precinct* on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Precinct/337043023813) if you'd like updates about this. Or just keep checking this blog, I guess.
2. We did our first sound recording for *John Howard's Knees* this week. It went fantastic. I'd encourage people to [become a fan of this film on Mr Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-Howards-Knees/111306502222282) as well. Do it. You won't regret it.
3. I'll be freelance again in September! Who needs some cartoons, storyboards or animation?
4. I just turned 30, and my wife took me to a salami-making class for my birthday.

So everything is going great.
