I’m at a stage where I’ve got loads of new work to add to my portfolio but I don’t want to add them to this site, so I’m planning a rebuild from the ground up. In the four years since I’ve had this site the web has changed a lot and so have I. I’m working out what I want from a new site at the moment. Continue reading »

The Mac App Store launched today to much fanfare, bringing with it the first apps available for purchase and download. There is fair amount of launch day content (although Espresso is currently absent, which will be my first purchase) including Twitter for Mac.

So the iLife 11 upgrade I bought in October will have to stay in application limbo until the next paid-for upgrade. As has become the usual from Apple, bittersweet.

Holy crap where has the time gone? I got married, moved house and we are about to go to Australia for three weeks. I haven’t done anything since relaunching my site and probably won’t until the new year – but fear not. In 2011 I will return and I will be taking on some more freelance jobs, I’m pumped about web design at the moment having just read through Andy Clarke‘s book, Hardboiled web design and am getting excited already. Here’s to next year!
