DeviantArt Better and Worse than you think
22 Apr 2007
I’ve been on DA for around 2 1/2 years. It is a great source for inspiration and one of the few web communities I have really stuck at. There is a lot to like, but an awful lot of really dodgy work. Hence why it has such a reputation. If you are new to it, you might think everyone is a sexually perverted 14 year old. There are however an awful lot of very talented people and here are a few you should visit: Belldandies Great vector artwork with a retro twist.

The Awesomeness of Flickr
22 Apr 2007
I recently shifted to Flickr, my gallery can be accessed either from the topbar or the recent photo on the right hand side.
Flickr I find is a very useful reasource if you want to see what product looks like in real life, get insipiration from others using the same camera or just finding cool stuff.
LTNB - Long Time No Blog
4 Apr 2007
Hay folks, as you may have noticed I’ve been kinda quiet on here and DA. Well work has been kinda busy. I’ve managed to upgrade to the latest wordpress and tinker about with bits, but really my creative thirst was being full quenched with work so I didn’t have the inclination to blog or fart around with graphics. Things are getting back to a bit more normal as Easter is slowing things down some what.

Return of The Polygon!
9 Feb 2007
As you may or may not know I really like the G-Shock Polygon. Well guess what I just received one through the post. I think I just prefer the black one a bit more than this, but I like this one very much and considering I got it for a quarter of the UK street price I am a happy man.
It’s all very tech and comes with a thick multi-language manual.

Please stop double-spacing after full stops!
2 Feb 2007
Urgh, I have to remove by hand so many second spaces from word documents, in order for the hidden extra space to not be encoded into a junk character in HTML. So many people are taught when learning to type that you should use a double space after a sentence. This was correct in the past when text was manually typeset and typewriters were the standard. Even latter when DOS based Word Processors were the norm this was correct.

I guess I still like the Demo Scene
17 Jan 2007
I grew up with my Amiga and I still have fond memories. I always loved watching Demos, not game demos, but Demo Scene demos. Classics like State of the Art by Spaceballs and 242 by Fairlight gave me insight into computer art. They used to a way of seeing cutting edge realtime effects, in all reality that is no longer the case and in a way I like that even more.

Want an alternative to IE that isn't Firefox?
12 Jan 2007
I use Opera I have done for some time, I just like the have it your way interface. It does crash now and then, but mostly due to the Netscape plugin interface (meh). I tried Firefox when it was Firebird and Pheonix, but the whole thing felt clunky and like a big botch together. I’m not saying don’t try it, but there are alternatives.
Opera my browser of choice is great and used on many strange and wonderful devices such as the Wii.

Shiny and Virtuous
10 Jan 2007
As you may or may not know I like to recycle, but I’m also rather lazy. My kitchen is often overflowing with paper, plastic, metal and glass waiting for me to take it to the local recycle bins. I like to do it all in a one’r now and then to save on shifting backwards and forwards with small amounts.
The BMW designed Ecopod E1 seems like the answer, unfortunately it is only available in the states.

New Year New Avatar
7 Jan 2007
The last time I created an avatar theme for myself I was interested photography and fractals. So I wanted an avatar that would scale and reflect my current interests. So the the Avatar shown to the left was born. It features the white border of a Polaroid photo, the HUD of camera and my personal favorite little fluffy clouds. 😀
Well its a new year and time for a new avatar.
