I've accomplished the seemingly impossible: I've cloned myself!. After many phone calls around Australia, all four of us met in my backyard for this photo shoot. Below are my four clone brothers wearing two of my Redbubble shirts and two t-shirts purchased from other Redbubble artists, and me wearing an un-official Apple iPhone shirt! Yes,...

Getting Respect From Your Boss
When your boss hails your name from across the room, what is your normal reaction? The premise for this question is from an incident I had the good fortune to resolve. It happened in a TANDY store about three years ago, though I do not recollect what my original purpose nor purchase was meant to... 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 →
Canon EOS 7D
Have you seen this very new Canon camera? It looks impressive! The Canon EOS 7D. With a 18megapixel CMOS sensor, up to 12800 ISO and a 19-focal-point sensor, this camera looks mighty impressive. The only flaw? Well, just for the body alone you'll pay around AU$2,500. With the kit lens (EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS), you'll... Continue Reading →
One Step to Improve Your Health
I fail to understand some humans: For some strange reason many feel a need to inhale nicotine-laced fumes through cylindrical paper. Yeah, I have mentioned this before, yet it continues to be a subject that intrigues me. Whilst I have managed to get myself quite sick through no fault of my own, smokers continue to...

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 →
Revamp, Redesign, Redirection
Have you noticed that I have added a new category into my articles? Yes, logo design, graphic creation and small-business branding will now be featured within my journal. Why? Most recently a new friend ask me to assist with revamping the logo for a small-business with which he is involved. He said he believed I... 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 →
