This is more than your average group of people. At this stage we have about 30 people turning up, ranging from Amateurs to full-professionals,... Continue Reading →

New Idea, Fresh Direction
Around 2am this morning I had a moment of brilliance. It's taken 3 hours of work to ensure the idea works properly in both IE8 and Mozilla Firefox. And now it does! It's not easily noticeable, unless you've lifted the hood on the HTML and CSS on my personal web site previously ... but the... Continue Reading →
Portraits at the Adelaide Zoo
Last Sunday I visited the Adelaide Zoo with a group of Redbubble photographers. I've written article about the fun and frivolity, plus uploaded a dozen photographs of the zoo animals we shot during our seven hour trek around the Zoo. But the day was not all about animals. I took the opportunity to photograph humans,... Continue Reading →
Communicate with Skype
Why would anyone use a landline phone to call friends around Australia when SKYPE provides two amazing options: 1. Skype to Skype = FREE Phone calls. The most amazing offer on the planet.

Twelve Hours to Change Your Ways
Prelude This article was originally published on my original blogspot in 2003 and closed down in mid 2006 before moving across the WordPress.

He Jumps, He Shoots, He Scores!
I've been tagged to complete five main projects before the end of January 2009. Almost scares me to think that I would complete a project or two within the next few weeks, but I feel sure it is possible. 1. Create new logo for a new web friend. A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
I Started A Meme!
I made the suggestion upon plurk for photographers to choose the best twelve photographs of 2008 (either one from each month or simply the favourite twelve) from their Flickr photo-gallery. Within an hour, I had chosen and published my favourite photographs of 2008. Over the last few days, three of my plurk/flickr friends also took... Continue Reading →
Facing the Facts
Previously I have mentioned to many people, both at work and online, that I am anti-Facebook. I take it all back, and apologise for anything I've ever said about Facebook! Why? ... Well, I succumbed. When both family and new friends asked me to join up to see how much it has changed and how... Continue Reading →
