This Weekend. Update 2.

Well, I didn’t get much work done today, looks like I will be doing it tomorrow instead. I did manage to get emails out to cell leaders and got some updating of the CU site in, although that is no where near finished and will have to wait til I have a bit more [...]


This Weekend. Update.

Well Friday came off pretty well. Jess came over and we managed to sort out all the cells. I asked Dad about the quiz, albeit not over the phone, but I asked. The only thing that didn’t happen was coffee with Kate. My fault though, apparnatly I said I would text [...]


This Weekend.

Ok, so this weekend I need a plan. I have lots of stuff to do, so I need a plan to make sure I get it done!
Starting with today. Lecture, Kate is coming for a coffee, I need to organise the cells for CU, I have to ring Dad and ask him to [...]


Small bedrooms.

Who ever invented the little rooms in houses often coined as a “bedroom” was clearly having a laugh. They blatently knew that when it comes to doing a graphic design project in the smallest room in the house would not be funny. I mean come on. I have paper all over the [...]


Another week, another birthday.

In a frantic few weeks it now looks like time to sit and reflect on the events. The 3rd and final birthday for a while has just passed, so it could be a bit more peaceful and slightly less stressful, although celebrating is fun, the planning and aftermath isn’t.
After living in the house for [...]


Vault 49

Vault 49 are a bunch of Graphic Designers who I think are absolutely superb. They have done some wonderful works of art for a wide variety of clients.
My favourite piece of their work is the front covers of a Renaissance Mix CD. I even managed to find an advert for it in a [...]


New one

OK, I have a new Blog, or at least the beginnings of one. It’s wordpress based and not yet ready for announcement, should I use, but I thought I would let people know. Its a free wordpress blog based on WordpressMU(multi-user) and is hosted by them as well.
I will see if I can [...]


ooooooooo pretty!!

Presenting…

The all new iPod, with video playback and everything. It’s nice!! However unlike the iPodnano I don’t want one quite so much. Probably due to the fact I don’t want to watch video on the go.
It is nice though. I like how it has picked up on the styling of the [...]


Plug

The humble plug. A means of powering electrical equipment. One of the most useful inventions ever. Its ability to keep equipment powered is rivaled by nothing, it’s even helping me write this post. Whilst on the surface it is friendly and helpful, it has a much more sinister side. To [...]


deviantART

Earlier in the year I started using a website called deviantART. Its a brilliant site containing the largest community of creative people on the net. Many of the works caused me to consider setting up my own account. So, guess what, I did.
Here’s the link, as yet I have only created 3 [...]


James Blunt

Bit of a proper post this one.
I’ve been listening to his album lots, and its struck how good it is. It gets better with every play. I’ve even been given his music book. Well the tab of his music book, got it for my birthday and I’ve actually been playing it a [...]


Another one!!

Wow, blimey 2 in a week!!
Ok, I’ve made a few changes, the title is now Glow. I’m not really sure why, maybe because its quite a dynamic name. Its also got conotations with my christian faith, spreading the word, letting it shine out, making me “glow”. a bit contrived I know but [...]
