Who else color-calibrates their monitor on a regular basis? I use the Spyder3 Express regularly to ensure my monitor is displaying my photography galleries in the right colours. For photographers and videographers, this is a tool you can NOT live without. It's amazing how often I speak to people who tell me their artwork is... Continue Reading →
Looking for Logo Inspiration?
My article is not about teaching you anything new, I'm merely a 'way-cool!'-station between graphic sites. Take your pick, they're all equally informative and interesting... Often I found tutorials are simple ripoffs of other articles. Much like many logo's. But not in this case . The site is easy to navigate, the article is concise... Continue Reading →
How a Canon 50D can Improve your Life
I've had the Canon 50D for about 3 months, and I must say it is a vast improvement on my last camera, the Canon 400D. Whilst the 400D was a great toy, oops, I mean tool, to learn about digital SLR's, it lacked a lot of features that professional photographers love utilizing on the newer... Continue Reading →
Quit Today and Save a Life: Yours.

From there I review and find new books to read. Honestly, I'd not kept this bookshelf up-to-date at all until earlier this evening when I got an email... Continue Reading →
Emails for Job Applications
This article was born after listening to an interesting phone call earlier today. I don't envy anyone whose name is the contact-point for job-applicants who then ring in to get more information. When applying for jobs, have a simple email address. Corporations dislike dealing with obscure email addresses. 1. Be aware that UPPER-case is irrelevant.... Continue Reading →
Making Changes, Slowly and Carefully
Over the last ten years things have changed immensely in my life. In the early days of my internet life I spend many days and nights hacking, stripping and rewriting code - it's how I've learnt. I no longer spend so much time writing code, though it is still a passion. I still enjoy coding... Continue Reading →
City of Blinding Lights (Part 1)
First let me explain the choice of title: Yes, it is U2 song. I started listening to it just as I was putting this article to paper. It is so apt, at least the title. Reason 2 explains how and why. Often the city lights blind us from seeing the right way. But sometimes they... Continue Reading →
