Matthew Oliphant has started a great idea of sites going pink for October as it’s the breast cancer awareness month. So, get the pink schemes out and show your pinker side this October.
Blogging is an art form
In the past I did study writing and I ended up doing performance poetry for a while. At some point I stopped writing and I always said I’d stopped doing it. Thing is that recently I have realised this was wrong. I for some reason thought of blogging as not writing. I don’t mean it wasn’t valid. When your writing has always been under the label creative in the sense of poetry and to a lesser extent stories, you see blogging as maybe not under that banner. Well, this was what happened to me.
Fitting your skin
When you are young you always feel like you don’t fit your skin in some way. Nothing fits, it all feels too big to comprehend, the emotions that surge are the real growing pains that we all grow through. I was looking at Dillon (our puppy) today and the way he doesn’t fit his skin reminded me a lot of how I was when I was young. That big white eye expression he does which is almost fear awe at everything I can see in him when he looks at me.
Serial mad world
I have already said one of my favourite anime of all time is Serial Experiments Lain. I found this great montage with Mad World by Gary Jules from one of my favourite films Donnie Darko. Double favourite shot from Mad World – Serial Experiments Lain AMV it is then.

Skill-set rinse and repeat and add Ruby
As a web designer my skill-set is constantly having to be reviewed and updated. If I drop the web development side of me into the picture this gets even more of a priority. Lately, I have been reviewing what skills I use to create websites and one thing has become clear to me. it is all to easy to get carried on from one project to another without refreshing your skill-set. Your basic skills are of course always being added to with every day that passes. I am really talking about the things you learn from new not the ones you build on here.
