BUSINESS STYLE: I still don’t have my ABN because the government couldn’t even call me
Back on the 14th of August I blogged about losing my ABN (aus business number) and that I rang them within ten minutes of getting the letter concerning my cancellation. I told I would receive a phone call within 28 days to rectify the situation. 29 days later I rang again on the 10th of […]

Well the whole trademark controversy has come to an end. Not because they dragged me into court and wasted my time, no, it was never up to them to live my life. I stopped the whole process because I had outgrown my logo. For those that remember, my name was either side of a three […]
LEGAL ISSUES: My trademark’s opposition is still going.
Well, my trademark opposition has been dragged out for another month. It would seem that the company opposing me just loves doing it for the hell of seeing who shuts down first. It isn’t going to be me. For those that don’t know, I was trademarking my name and logo, in the header above, and […]
