I got me a new car

After driving James’ Toyota Hilux around for weeks (it seriously feels like driving a truck), I finally got myself the car I want again. I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Toyota Corolla Hatch with only 19,000km on the clock. Big thanks to the best mechanic on the Central Coast who gave me some great advice on different brands and models of cars. Thanks Chris!

If you’re up the north end of the Central Coast and you need a good mechanic, give Headway Auto Repairs at Charmhaven a call. Yes, they’re a client, but seriously, we went through 3 mechanics before we met Chris. He’s one of those rare mechanics that doesn’t have grease from one end of the workshop and reception to the other and your car doesn’t smell like crap when you get it back. He also specialises in Vintage Car Repairs and Restoration if you’re that way inclined.

Will It Blend

This post is just a quickie to test how the YouTube plugin I just installed works. One of my favourites on YouTube (and there’s tonnes of them) is the ‘WILL IT BLEND’ videos, where the manufacturers of a particular blender like to show how robust they are by blending things like hockey pucks and iPods. Here’s the blending of 6 Bic Lighters. Enjoy.

Completed Web Design Project – Feet First Dive Nelson Bay

Feet First Dive Nelson Bay recently hired Net Perceptions to redesign their website. Our brief was to give the web site a clean professional image make-over and boost the search engine rankings. With a great logo and a set of fantastic photos to work with, the artwork was a breeze.

Much of the copywriting on the existing website was condensed and re-written for ultimate search engine optimisation along with a few other key factors that were absent in the old website. Over coming weeks, time will tell how successful we have been. With little competition in the online market, I can see this client rocketing up the Google rankings in no time.

Shane from Feet First Dive was a pure delight to work with. If you live in Newcastle, Port Stephens, or heading to the bay for a holiday and you want to go diving with someone who knows his stuff and will make your experience enjoyable, Shane’s the man. You can take ‘full on’ diving courses like James has done in the past, or if you’re ‘chicken shit’ like me, go snorkelling! Even if you’re nowhere near Nelson Bay and love the ocean, go check out the website, there’s a great photo gallery on there.
