Having a little redesign and felt the need to remove the old styles and go naked for a while. Ooh its a bit chilly.

I decided to document my journey to work today in the form of some blurry camera phone shots. None of my trains were late and I had no crazy people talking to me on the tube, so quite uneventful all in all.

I find my self wanting to do things like this since the arrival of little Tom. “Look Tom this is how daddy got to work before he got his rocket turbo boots”. I’d be really interested to see your journey, get out your camera/phone and start clicking, post a link here for all to see.

After lots of nagging from friend and college Mat I’ve decided to add a new section to the site. I’m always drawing and have been for as long as I can remember so now instead of just placing these doodles in a shoe box and forgetting about them I will now scan and post them up under doodles instead.

My first doodle of many I hope.

Another quick post, this time to say how much I’m enjoying reading Jeremy Keith’s DOM Scripting. For designers who find “programming languages” hard to grasp this book is ideal. Clearly written and aimed at designers you’ll find it impossible not to learn something.

Why standards-compliant HTML matters.

Just a quickie to say measure map rocks. I’ve been using this blog stats application for a few days now over at Apple Mad and I’m impressed. It’s so easy to use, delivers all the info a blogger could possibly need and to top it off it’s all wrapped up in a beautiful UI. Excellent job Adaptive Path. Oh and it’s free.

Just for fun I’ve built AppleMad.com an Apple focused news and reviews site. I am opening it’s doors to the public way to early. It’s not tested on a whole heap of browsers and the mark up and CSS are a bit messy (if your geeky enough to look). There is no real content to speak of (I’m on the look out for Apple loving volunteer bloggers for that) and I’m still not completely sure what place it has on the interweb but I’m sure I’ll do my best to make a go of it and give it the time it deserves - more time than I spend here anyway :)

What a truly liberating experience it is to know your target audience and build a site with pixel fonts and min/max-width.

Anyway pop in put the kettle on, have a look around and let me know what you think.
