Apress Tech Editor 
Can you beleive Apress has picked me up as a tech editor for a book? Now I know it isn’t that big a deal (not like I’m authoring a book or anything). More like I’m a bottomfeeder but to me it is really cool. I get paid to read a tech book, hopefully learn and comment on it to help those who will use it later. Not bad.
Though I must admit that some of the turn over dates can be kinda tight… especially since I still have my normal day job and a life (or at least I pretend I have a life).
The extra money will come in handy in Australia.
