I am always trying improve this site, hence the lastest addition to the site. You can now get access to this blog on the move via the handy RSS Feed that I have now set up.
With this New Year addition to the site, you can read all the entries featured on the homepage via the RSS Feed and its available now.
While playing the new Call of Duty game (World at War), I was very impressed how the game introduced the user to each game stage. The design used a lot of kinetic movement with images and the typography.
So I have been doing a little bit of research into kinetic typography and how it has been used in design. The video above is what I consider one of the best examples I have seen on the net so far, and when I get a chance I will be giving it ago myself.
If you have seen any other work which is similar please drop me a comment as I would love to see more examples.
It's a simple question, Coca Cola or Pepsi? Which do you think is the best?
Okay so I thought it was about timethat I spent some of my Christmas gift money and invest in some new boots. I suppose it was time to get rid of the old boots (which only have 3 studs left in them!) still might rip out those studs and use them for firm ground instead.
These new boots cost me only £22 from JJB, so it seems that there are positives to the credit crunch after all.
So as many of my mates know, I am a defender of the Xbox 360. I always believed that it was the better console out of the two heavy weights, that and the PS3.
Well based on looking into the game MAG (Massive Action Game) over the past couple of nights my mind is swaying! Thanks to Frog for linking me to this video, I am now seeking what can the Xbox offer up to counter this massive (forgive the pun) game! You can have upto 256 people fighting it out on one server! Anyway check out the video and you will see what I mean, maybe Microsoft and Bungie will answer back with a huge 512 player Halo game...(it could happen!)
So it’s been a little while since my last trip to Newquay, next summer it will be 3 years! Although next summer I am going to attempt to organise a long weekend, surfing down around the coast. If you fancy coming along let me know in Jan/Feb 09 so we have an idea on numbers (This post is aimed at actual people I know, rather than the whole internet community!)
Finally I have completed the new version of Pixel Artists; it took longer than expected fitting it around other projects I was working on. I have been my own worst critic
when it comes to the design and layout of this website and this is either the 4th or 5th incarnation of the site that you see before you, I’m just hoping the users find it has
high usability and informative.
The purpose of this new site is to be a place that I can write tutorials not only for you guys but also for myself to reference to from
time to time…oh and to promote myself a little bit to the web community out there.
So feel free to browse around and comment on anything, but observe that I do have
certain rules about offensive language, this is suppose to be a resource after all for all age groups.
Thanks, Tim
Yes it’s true! Red Dwarf is coming back. After seeing the news article posted on the official Red Dwarf website (www.reddwarf.co.uk), it looks all set now to see the return of the show in the form of 4 special episodes in 2009.
The Sci-Fi show’s last appearance was back in
1999 (9 years ago!) with Series VIII. Many people I have since spoken to say that the last series was the worst out of the eight. I suppose I tend I agree with that, as most of
the older episodes are absolute classics, but still series VII has some shining moments. For instance ‘Krytie TV’ has to be in my top 5 Red Dwarf episodes.
Since finding
out about the return of Red Dwarf I have been…well overly excited with the thought of more Dwarf and since finding out, I have been spreading the word to as many people as
possible!
The break away in Whitby was just right to relax. Beautiful views and good clean air! I have added a couple of the photos I took on my Flickr account. There will be more to follow soon.
