Oct 10: Over the past few months, we have been heads down working on a brand new shinny Bragster. We will unveil it very shortly. You certainly have seen the blog (http://blog.bragster.com/) already with the main changes. When looking at it now all coming together, it looks awesome, and I actually realize that we have gone bongo mad! I hope you will love it as much as we do.

Oh, and by the way, we have moved to a brand new Bragster Garage. Way bigger, even with a kitchen and all that. I'll have to post some pics shortly, now that I have something to brag about.

July 8: I'm very proud that a Bragster is 3rd in the entire World at Mountainbike Bog Snorkelling. That's something to brag about. Billzy, that's it, you are officially a media star now. I love those Olympians

June 20: I'm very proud of the Bragster Olympiad that effectively started last weekend. Six weeks of crazyness ahead of us. If you haven't checked it yet, here it is, brand new for you to enjoy: http://www.bragster.com/oly.... Tomorrow is event #2: nettle eating. Then, speed dating. A classic! On a personal note, that's it, I have eventually decided on a new target for my next marathon: 3h10. Back me up (or not): http://www.bragster.com/bet...

Apr 29: April was a big month, especially with running the London marathon (I'm still recovering). I'm completely into it now. In true Bragging style, the next step it to break the 3 hours barrier, and then London 2012 :) More modestly, here is the max of me in the meantime:

Regarding Bragster, a lot of exciting stuff are in the making. I have a sense you will love what is coming. Thanks to all for making it such a fantastic community.

Mar 27: I have been pied by the French Team! I still cannot believe this (http://www.bragster.com/dar...). We actually used that idea for a startup pitch we did last week in Brussels (Plugg.eu), and ended up as 2nd European Startup. Not bad. Pies lead everywhere ;)

On a personal level, training hard for the London marathon, less than 3 weeks to go (http://www.bragster.com/bet...). All going well, I cannot wait to be on race day now.

+++
Feb 8: It's Friday, my marathon training day off. I felt so good last week about my training, and eating miles after miles. But it's getting tougher now (http://www.bragster.com/bet...). Sort of a stomach bug. Will be interesting for my long runs over the weekend. Anyway, I don't know what you think about it, but personally, I'm having more and more fun by the day on the site. I think it's the community that makes it a special place. And get daring y'all out there. Now!

Jan 23: I'm so excited since we have the Dare a Friend live. It's so fun. Anarane was the very first one to shave an eyebrow (great video, I could hardly believe it). I can't wait to see JohnnyBravo doing a Kilt act. And so many more. I just saw that MikeRowave got dared. That's also going to be fun. Oh, and I still need to get my hairs in blue. Crazy!

Dec 26: Happy end 2007 to every one of you, Bragsters!!

+++
DEC 7 2007: An update is long overdue. Especially since we are live and kicking as "Bragster". It's growing and growing, and getting more and more fun everyday. I also wanted to share a little review that we recently go in BusinessWeek after we went to present the site at the European Tech Tour in Geneva. Enjoy. (some of you are mentioned in there).

AUG 14 2007: Oops, long time since I have posted an update here. Things have been crazy, from moving offices to new partnerships. The big news today is that we are launching The Feeds. Check your "MyGottabet" section. I hope you will enjoy it. More to come shortly.

Oh, and I am now officially married to Isabel and a happy man!

+++
MAY 23 2007: Oh, and check our new million dollar thing. You might all have one or two great ideas to raise a few dollars by having fun (or what about doing it for a charity?). www.gottabet.com/onemillion. I love the horror movie one!

+++
MAY 22 2007: We have left our garage for a real office. Darshan and Brittney have recently joined us. Great to be able to do more things now that they are on board. Watch out for some stunts. Things are going to become mad in here. Love it. In the meantime, the Tech gurus are adding more and more new features (some good surprises coming soon, hopefully - thanks a ton to all of you for your feedback!!). PS: Marathon was bloody hard! What was I thinking?

APRIL 13 2007: training hard for the London Marathon, and trying to honour my bet to complete the race. 9 days before D-day.

MARCH 2007: quick update to say that we are proudly sponsoring Matt Allison for the British Touring Car Championship. Here are some pics of the media day. Was a fun event. 10 races to go.

OLDER:
Well, not really about me, but at least about our new "baby"... Here as some great pics about our first Gottabet.com party ever. It took place on Thursday December 14th, at the Mulberrybush in London. Hardly 2 hours after having opened the site, an entire pub was betting on literally everything, from donuts lip-eating to ladies arm wresting or even dreadlocks counting. What a night!
