Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
For a few years I have been reading posts by Chris Pearson over at Pearsonified. His site-design is less cluttered than many, thus making his articles easy to follow and read. Chris posts are always informative and teach old-tricks in new ways and in a different light. This may sound like what every one is... Continue Reading →
By now you would have heard that the Indonesian Pulp&Paper mills have resumed logging the rainforest in which endangered orangutan's have their habitat. I encourage you to sign this online petition so that we can present to them how many people of the world are totally opposed to this activity. Please. Let's all show how... Continue Reading →
A friend on flickr recently used these settings to capture an amazing photograph of the moon: Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200) Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 300 mm ISO Speed: 400 Exposure Bias: +1/3 EV Flash: Off Exposure Mode: Auto White Balance: Manual Proof that these settings will work.

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 →
I read articles of varying topics on a daily basis. Thanks to my Bloglines collection of over 200, I daily get inundated with your articles. But I still find myself returning to the same few people who are also upon my Plurk-timeline for interesting stories that either help or amuse me. Below is a sampling... Continue Reading →
I asked, they said yes, they had fun whilst I shot these funny and amazing photographs. I told them I would tag the photographs with 'kingscotekids' and would be on flickr.com. Girl: "Flickr? What's that?" Me: "A website. F L I C K R, no e, dot com. Looks for kingscotekids." Them: "Cool \ Rad... Continue Reading →
Tonight I found some cool CSS at StopDesign. See that navigation at the top of screen? I just love how the words "recent stuff", "design work", "background info" and "of interest" are brought in via the CSS. I've chopped from the full CSS how this achieved. I won't explain too much, as I'm unsure of... Continue Reading →
