I got PokΓ©mon Red the same weekend my brother got the Mambo No 5 single. He played it non stop whilst I was playing PokΓ©mon Red and now I will forever associate that song with PokΓ©mon on the original Gameboy.

Happy 30th birthday, PokΓ©mon!

MEXICO! I am sorry I didn't spend much time mingling last week at #MSAITour as I was poorly with altitude sickness but I have recovered and will now eat all the al pastor tacos.

And have you seen the coolness that is A365 like in my #MSAITour demo? Security people, get yourself on the A365 train.

Jumping on the AI caricature bandwagon. If you're in Sao Paulo or Mexico City for the #MSAITour this week, see you there: please grab me and say hi if you see me!

I've never been to Mexico before so any suggestions for things to do or see if I get some spare time are very welcome.

I'm going to RSAC for the first time in 6 years next month. Tell me what I should do/where I should go?

I'll see you at all the MS things (register below); looking to recruit Aussies to sing a particular song with me at karaoke...

My mum lent me her manual car that is on the opposite side of the road to what I'm used to driving on. This will be interesting.

Back in the motherland! Some observations:

- Victorian train stations are beautiful
- Why are Freddos now 50p?
- Why are meal deals an extra pound?
- This time of year should be cold with short days.

Just Antarctica left to visit as a continent now I have finally made it to Africa! Advice: if you are fortunate enough to travel for work, try and spend a day before/after doing something touristy, especially if you've come a long way.

Minding my own business in Sydney and a guy stops me and says he likes the colour on my toes. Cool.

Proceeds to ask me if he can smell my feet. FML.
