Up, up and away

I have been tagged by my blog buddy so I am posting five things I would like to be when I grow up:

  • I would love to run a Technology Camp for kids. It would be in the school holidays and it would be the perfect combination of outdoor activities and over-the-top use of technology. We would use GPS systems to navigate and play treasure hunting, we would use digital cameras to record video and still pictures of our adventures in the bush, we would publish our progress in a newsletter, we would set up a webcam for the parents and prepare a huge audio/visual presentation for the final day. They would have to use a computer they had built themselves (well mostly…). Yes…even in my other lives I am still a geek…
  • I would be a singer like Norah Jones or Katie Melua. I would be sultry and mysterious.
  • I would teach computer skills to people who needed them to get jobs but couldn’t afford to go to school.
  • My friend Josh and I spent many late evening hours dreaming of the island we were going to buy. We were going to run it as a new civilization and we would have our own wacky laws and customs. There would be lots of communal nude dancing. There would be no money. A man could take many wives (erm… that was from Josh).
  • I would be a witch.

I need to tag someone… but who? Maybe Yardboy can think of a blog where he can post five things he would like to be when he grows up. Maybe Hagfish has a secret blog he doesn’t share?

On that note I would like to say how cool my workmaties are… not cos they might read this but because a huge part of my day is spent with these people and they are very important in life. I have been really lucky to end up with three amazing people who make my working day very much how I thought school should have been but never was. I wish I had known them sooner in life.
