Most people know what graphic design is–Or, more accurately, most people think they know what graphic design is in about the same way that someone who goes to a fast food chain thinks they know what they are consuming. So, with that in mind, how many businesses actually understand the vital importance of graphic design when constructing a blog or web-site? You don’t have to search far and wide to find out that answer. A lot of web-sites look OK, Read the rest of this entry »

The Spice Girls were rubbish, really, weren’t they? I mean, even if you used to love them and you collected all their merchandize, you have to admit that the name alone is bad enough (I tend to think of Old Spice, the popular established deodorant-making brand whenever I see someone who looks like Mel B) but come on, the music was pants too. But one of their songs was actually quite good I thought–Not because of the musical quality, of Read the rest of this entry »

There are a lot of promises in the world, aren’t there? There are promises of love, promises of good weather in the UK (you get used to this, and the UK is Barbados compared to Scotland…) and promises from companies: usually things like, “at our website you can learn everything you need to know–”
But come on. How many times do these promises actually translate into meaningful, proper action? In my experience rarely; even worse, sometimes it’s just a good Read the rest of this entry »

In 2002 I had a terrible experience. I was employed as a web-designer at a company I’d wanted to work for for a long time, and they asked me to do a weekly blog. “Whatever you see fit to put on there that benefits our business is fine by us”, said my boss. So I took it to heart: right, I thought, I’ll make an impression! Indeed, inspiration struck me–And even better I’d had an idea which would use Read the rest of this entry »

Lovely day with brilliant sunshine today, so met up with a guy Pete who resembles Ricky Gervais and the group he had met yesterday. An English brother and sister Tom and Rachel. Tom talks just like Harry Potter, so I had Ricky Gervais on one side and Harry Potter on the other, Scottish Rory who sounded like Dylan Moran, even though he’s a Scot! And Dan from London. They were all early 20’s, and fantastic people. Pete’s mid 30’s. We Read the rest of this entry »

Years ago the nerd would, in extreme situations, be hunted down and killed for his not being manly enough; that was in the age of the cave-man nerd—the nerd who, instead of going out hunting with the rest of the men, stayed back at camp and tried to work out what was interesting about a stone shaped like a disc–.
Then came more freakish nerd incantations, and, after great evolution, a race of glasses wearing skinny misfits—their only purpose in Read the rest of this entry »

There are so many great gadgets out there already, and great ones that are coming out soon. Some help us navigate, plan our days, book our holidays and make living life that little bit easier. However, no gadget has impressed me, or made such a big difference in my life as my Intuos 3 Wacom Tablet.
I love this thing, it is simply fantastic. As a budding artist, and a digital one at that, I had to find a tablet Read the rest of this entry »

Citizen Smith, what an absolute classic that show was! And, as such, you can’t help but wonder what Robert Lindsay, star of the show, might be up to these days (I know, he’s in My Family, but I mean, what’s he up to in his life).
(At least I hope that’s what this person meant; he’s not been forgotten yet! We still love you mate!)
I wonder what Robert Lindsay Read the rest of this entry »

Saturday 4th April 2009 - the shark dive day!!! Was not feeling nervous at all. I’ve thrown myself off tall ledges into canyons, out of planes and this was not scaring me at all, I was just way too excited. We got the boat when it was still dark at 6.30am, and there were 15 passengers including us. It was a 2 hour ride out to Neptune Island which is where they anchor, as its a seal colony on the Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday 2nd June 2009 - went on a snorkelling with the Whale Sharks trip. The crew were lovely, and we went on a boat in Ningaloo Reef, and first off started with some snorkelling over the reef. I didn’t really get to see much of the Great Barrier Reef due to bad weather, but most people say the GBR has had its day now, its dying due to all the tourists and Ningaloo Reef is much better. Well I was Read the rest of this entry »
