I often read through the various forum-entry's around Redbubble.com and many blogs around the WWW: Sometimes I feel the need to respond, but invariably my comments end up quite lengthy. Thus, I often convert my thoughts to prose or short stories for publication here. Here are three separate yet entwined written pieces that I didn't... Continue Reading →
Advantages of Working Solo
Whilst I know there are tonnes of great advantages to working solo (rather than in a team or corporate environment) I decided to ask people I chat with on Plurk what they believed are the best reason to 'go solo'. So far I have had these interesting and varied responses: Less Meetings (Kay Walker) I... Continue Reading →
Finding Patterns on Calendars
Check out my photographs upon the latest calendar on my Redbubble photo gallery. I like it because it is how I see most of the world. A whole lot of irregular patterns. Patterns are everywhere, some are normal, most are irregular and disjointed. Many cross each other’s path, some without knowing, many in the weirdest... Continue Reading →
Nine Steps to Healthy Photography
This works predominately for any one of the many artists on Redbubble.com, yet it could work anyone who sells their artwork either via retail or through their own website. 1. Upload work. View and review each piece as a Card, Canvas and Poster, and Framed, Mounted and Laminated. ... This helps you to see how... Continue Reading →
Exploring Beyond Evolution
I'm currently reading "SPACE" by Mr James A Michener. Subtitled "The epic novel of man's greatest quest", it is an 815 page epic about the US Space Program. I am about 600 pages along, and its story is still fascinating! It tells the journey's of four family's who each pioneer and contribute to all the... Continue Reading →
Ramblings #1
Herein lies a list of ramblings that started last Monday. Don't begin to think there is a story here. It's just a whole lot of statements that I considered putting on either my Twitter or Plurk account ... and a few did, so will be linked accordingly! Watch out for the personal-quotes, created from incidents... Continue Reading →
Getting into my Groove
One thing I always enjoy doing when I am bored: Designing or redesigning logo's. Because I have good quality programs (now!) and a creative mindset, I like seeing how I would present a logo if it were up to me. Many of them are not publishable because they are businesses that can afford to sue... Continue Reading →
Ready to Surf the NEXT Google Wave?
Personally, I don't think Google Wave is going to revolutionise the world. Sure, Microsoft did manage to manipulate and monopolise the market 30-something years ago, but I don't see Google doing that here. With 100,000 invitations criss-crossing the planet, maybe a further 900,000 humans will find a way to either catch a ride or jump... Continue Reading →
20 Reminders to Live, Love and Do More
In 1993 I bought a little book entitled "Just Do It" that includes a heap of inspirational and quotable gems. I still read it in 2009 because, heck, we all need a little inspiration from time to time. I love quotes that both remind me that I am only human, plus those that give me... Continue Reading →
Architectural Advancement
Adelaide is a'changing. The architecture has progressed from sandstone and gargoyles to concrete and glass. Here is the progression of just one building here in Adelaide. Watch how it changed from a large shed that housed the Trams into a large glass box.
Fanplastic
Earlier tonight I had the good chance to catch the last half hour of this televised program on ABC1 - "Addicted to Plastic". It advertised a few interesting locations around the world that are helping to reduce the landfill of plastic upon this planet. Rather than preaching to you about how important this subject is...
