Electric Weekend is the blog and link collection of Phil Bowell. Phil is a Christian graphic designer based in the UK.
Well, it’s been a while. In fact it’s been the longest gap between posts there’s ever been on Electric Weekend. I’m not going to apologise, the simple fact is that in the last 2/3 months a lot of stuff has happened, a mixture of ends of chapters, beginnings of new ones and a good bye.
The [...]
These days, I’m sure like many, my primary source of reading material is via the internet, or more specifically my feed reader. There’s a lot of great content out on the web and filtering out the cruft to get to it can be a bit of a mission. We are bombarded with information clamouring for [...]
Micaheal Mistretta has been at it again. Another excellent post this time about The Myth of Talent which brought to mind a lesson I learned back when I was 16 doing my GCSE’s.
I have a talent, you have a talent, everyone has a talent. A lot of people don’t believe they have one, or simply [...]
Hi guys. I just wanted to post a little explanation for the lack of posts here the last couple of weeks. Last weekend I moved house (post to come) and consequently I’m limited to internet access. We don’t have a connection yet, but hopefully we will get one setup in the next [...]
It’s my birthday today!! As a result there won’t be any links or posts other than this one done today.
I’ve been on a work placement this week which is why there has been no activity here at Electric Weekend. I have been collecting links and what not though, so they will be filtering through in the next few days. I also hope to role out a few updates tot he site next [...]
So I’ve just finished “sync’ing” my iMac and my iBook so my iBook now mirrors my iMac as closely as possible (really made me want .Mac!). Why am I telling you this? Well tomorrow morning I’m heading to a town called Criccieth in north Wales for a two week beach mission.
This is something [...]
Nick of TCRA has tagged me for a meme. From what I gather I have to tell you eight things about me, that you might not know. So here goes:
1 – I’m going grey. Yes you did read the right. I’m 22 and I’m already going grey, starting in the temples [...]
Yesterday marked the end of an era for me. I moved out of my Uni house back home. Yup, I finished University. It was quite a weird feeling. I’ve lived there for the last three years and been blessed to meet and make friends with many incredible people. Not only [...]
The other day I received an interesting email asking how I found a particular site. Now, I’m guessing the author didn’t mean what link I found it from, or how I came across it, but instead what my experience of the site was and why did I read it.
It was an interesting question, and [...]
Well, I have a bit of good news first. My neck is getting better, it’s still a bit sore but I have gone all day without having a painkiller. The bad news, is that last night my car was smashed up. It was parked down a side street with many other cars [...]
Well, simply put on Thursday night I somehow managed to sprain my neck! Stop laughing! It really hurts! I didn’t actually know it was possible to do such a thing, but I’ve done it and it flipping hurts. Anyway, as a result I’m not able to do as much work as [...]
Woo!
I just handed in my dissertation, and as you can tell I’m a little bit happy!!! Feels so good to have it gone now!
Been feeling very rough for the last couple of days, particularly today. Now, I’m not one for stopping when I feel rough or giving in to it, so I’ve been trying to continue my work today, and will do so tomorrow. But I’m finding it very hard to concentrate on stuff, having a [...]
On Monday or Tuesday, I start a new module at Uni. It’s an independant study module that requires me to come with 5 or more ideas for possible design projects. Now, open briefs are hard, briefs this open are the hardest. Basically I’m looking for ideas. If you have an idea [...]
I think the last couple of weeks trying to write my dissertation have really given me an insight as to how I work as a person. I’ve come to one conclusion. I can’t just sit and write all day! My mind explodes! I need to do something creative as well.
I started [...]
So last night I had the pleasure of playing on a Wii. Man they are so fun! And I mean REALLY fun! It successfully put something back into playing computer games that I have felt has been missing for a while now. Yep you guessed it that 3 letter word, fun.
At [...]
I’ve been enjoying more old school films over the last couple of days. Mainly the Back To The Future (BTTF) films. Today was part two, part three comes tomorrow, these films are superb its almost like they were made as one and then divided into three as it was too long to show [...]
I thought I would follow up on my first point of 5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me. In it I stated that I was born on the same day as my three times Great Grandfather. Really it’s not surprising that people don’t know this about me as I only recently discovered [...]
I have been tagged by Nick at TCRA to do this 5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me.
1. I was born on the same day as my Great Great Great (I think its 3!) Grandfather. He was born in 1838 146 years before me.
2. When I was born, or shortly after, [...]
