Have you ever had a tune on your hard drive for ages and not known what it was or where it came from? Well, I have (actually I have far too many of them) and today thanks to Ben (via Simon’s new music delivery from a visit to Ben’s) I gained the insight into at least one of my ‘what the bleep is that it’s good’ tracks. I am going to bed much happier in the knowledge it’s ‘The White Hare’ by Seth Lakeman and wow ‘Freedom Fields’ is one heck of an album.

Expression Engine and more specifically EllisLab has redesigned. This is a well thought out redesign which keep consistency but allows the 4 sites in the network to have their own identity. I really like the way it’s the form and style that is kept but really the colours and smaller parts that changes to create this consistency. Great job and really shows how flexible Expression Engine really is. It’s not something I’ve played much with but seeing this is certainly tempting. I’m thinking of ways to show the many sides of my own business this year and this is a great example to show how well you can do it.

I’m tired of testing out shitty betas of stuff I don’t need. I’m done with being a freaky geek.

I’m snotty, grumpy and other not named dwarfs - what else is there to do but watch some muppets.

I was doing the weekly shopping and noticed my trolley contents. I was struck by the look of it as for some reason I had managed to co-ordinate my trolley contents. It was 8am in the morning so maybe I needed more coffee, but it stuck me how as a consumer I am a sucker for good package design. It’s one thing that I seem to have fallen right into judging by my trolley. I also noted how on the shelves the design of packages seemed really interesting. I love it how a mundane experience can be made well just be seeing some good design. I now have another place for inspiration and if you see some mad woman wandering about the isles gazing you know it’s just me getting design inspiration.

Just to let you all know I’ve removed one feature being the forum from this site. It was something I’ve been thinking about for a while and with the advent of the new 9rules and take off over at the notes I think that it’s best to remove the forum on my site. I’d like to thank everyone that did register though and sorry for removing if that upsets anyone.
