flash talk

well well well, who thought id be talking at the london flash platform user group.

ok, in all fairness i wasnt demonstrating code, but talking about republic life and the way we work and want to work. sounds like it could have been quite boring, but so far ive had nothing but positive feedback from people.

crazy nice car

just a quick thing i found quite funny.  after finishing work on friday evening, turned the corner near the office to realise that some lucky posh bugger can afford to buy a bugatti veyron, and they live near me.  those cars are pretty special and managed to make the maclaren infront of it look boring and ordinary. the world i live in eh...

thank you

i just wanted to say a big thank you, to all the people who have been sending me messages about my photography. theres been some really nice and encouraging comments from quite a few people. i take photos that i like, but its always nice to know that there are some people that are excited by your work too.

it means a lot to me.

a lot.

its fun to...

new little side project ive just started doing. this blog is just a constantly updated list of simple, fun things to do that generally don't cost much. Its primarily for use at work as im setting little competitions and prizes to give the creative department some fun stuff to think about that isnt necessarily related to computers, but while also using it in future as a bit of a forum for showing what collegues are doing in the spare time, like "its fun to... make pictures from numbers" will talk a bit about processing and coding and how to get into it, and then show some of the wonderful mr oli laruelles work, and another "its fun to... make creatures out of felt" will talk about and give links to different art and craft sites but also featuring the lovely little monsters that one of our designers - bert - makes in his spare time.

take a look and sometime in future, the competitions may be extended to everyone on the wibbly wobbly web.

its fun to... do something new.
