I just found out that I made the finalists for the Full Code Press NZ team.
Its very rewarding to be finalists along side Shift's Romain Perin, and Heliocell's Rachel May, both whom I have a lot of respect for.
The next step is randomly picking one of us for the team, and at those odds, I wouldn't put money on it. I was actually hoping to land a spot as the HTML/CSS dev, as the creative pressure would be somewhat less. I'm quietly dreading making the team out of fear that I'll have total creative constipation on the day. Probably best not to think about it...
