I just woke up to the sad news that Steve Jobs has passed away. Rest in Peace 

Local comedy podcast duo Tim and Simon announced a pretty cool project today; on the 27th of September they will be recording and releasing 24 podcasts in 24 hours all in the name of charity. Continue reading »

After what has been a pretty terrible week, today Paul Annett posted the following on his Twitter Continue reading »

Last week I attended New Adventures in Web Design 2011, and I wanted to write a few thoughts about the day. Instead of a blow-by-blow account I’m going to share what I thought made this conference so special, and why I will be attending again. 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. It’s not all great though, as it turns out there is no way to transfer an app purchase to the new app store, meaning you miss out on auto updates and other benefits unless you repurchase the license. 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!

While doing my best to avoid redesigning this site (it’s harder than I thought) I have been working with Dan on a minisite for my Anchorman themed stag night here. Take a look and tell me what you think. Don’t forget to have a click around as there are a couple of easter eggs.

This site has been up for just under a year, and I’ve learnt a lot  so I’ve decided to take a break from freelance work to rethink and redesign. What does this mean? The general look and feel has come to feel quite clunky and over simple, I’d like to make it a bit more delicate and thought out, but still retain the same general feel I’m not counting on using my site to find freelance work via cold enquiries, so less of a ‘salesy’ tone to the copy I’m not posting to my blog as often as I could be, due to some decisions made in the last design. I’d like to go much more down the Tumblr route … Continue reading »
