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 →

Will You Be Worm’d on April 1st?
Reposting Richard Pascoe's article. It's good information for those who rely on Windows to run their lives, oops, I mean computers! Are you about to be infected on April 1st 2009? In the New York Times they discuss the Conficker Worm which will activate itself on April 1st. Should you be concerned? Well, Only if... Continue Reading →
Caught on Film
Last weekend whilst searching the house for my misplaced macro lens, I stumbled upon my old film-camera that shot 800+ photographs of New Zealand back in 2001. That's around 40 x 36f rolls of film! The Canon EOS 500 [Image] was quite a formidable camera for its time. But with the advent of the digital... Continue Reading →
