The mugshot on the right belongs to a guy called Julien Macdonald. Now, i must confess, until the other day i really hadn’t heard of him. He is a well known fashion designer. I’m not really sure whether I have seen any of his work before or not, but from what i have seen in […]
Recently I had my eyes tested and found out that I need glasses. So i chose two nice neat pairs and shelled out for the privilidge. I was sent away from the store without a single instruction on glasses / lens care or use and although it’s not too hard to guess where to put […]
It seems that everything in Tube Stations around London has protection, even the Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV)!
After spending an extra long weekend away from the office, I have returned to become utterly bemused and bewildered. During my dilly-dally away from the office my group within the company moved rooms. Now it’s only one room along and it’s a nice change from the room before, and although i have a window seat […]
Books come in all shapes and sizes. Pretty much anyone in the world knows what one is, and most people know where to get one. Libraries around the world house vast amounts of books and although the Nazi’s burned a fair few, plenty more have been published since then. In fact, 300,000 new books are […]
Is the child like mind the one which could be considered better at certain areas of creativity? The notion of children constantly asking “why?” could be regarded as their intrigue in the world around them. Likewise, a designer is always asking questions and seeking answers to those things which he/she does not know. Looking for […]
I thought that it might be a good exercise for me to list the order of importance of items on the Car Dashboard.
First off, I have to start by identifying the various pieces of kit one might usually find on a Car Dashboard and then start to put them into some kind of order. There […]
As a freak accident, i found myself in a Barklays bank recently. Now, i’m not one for usually straying from the two banks i generally frequent, and how i got there isn’t really important. What I found there struck me as a little odd.
Barclays will take your old mobile phone off of you and then […]
The UK government has been rolling out the Chip and Pin system over the past few years, after it seems much of the rest of Europe has been using it for decades. There is a lot riding on the new Chip and Pin system, and within the first few months of the introduction of the […]
The need to relieve myself has compelled me to visit the little boy’s room whilst at work within the past few weeks on a number of occasions. This isn’t usually a problem (except for the on-going maintainence at work which forces me to circum-navigate Bath to get there), but today as i walked into the […]
This is my bus ticket.
I get the bus to and from work every morning. This is an image of the ticket i purchase and slide into a machine which registers the ticket and then proceeds to add the date and time which i used it. It also registers my journey and takes one away from […]
Starting to learn about such a broad ranged subject like psychology, you need a book which can convey the basics of an idea as well as going into a little detail at times when it is required. A book which takes some of the basics and explains them enough for you to understand them and […]
The simplicity of the remote control means you can control something from a remote distance. The technology behind the little devices is genius, but how well do the controls convey an easy approach to operation?
The first remote intended to control a television was developed by Zenith Radio Corporation in the early 1950s. The remote — […]
So, Macworld Expo 2006 has been on for the whole of this week, and Apple have released information on their new Macbook Pro. But what’s so special about it.
A number of things which they are focusing on include the magnetic power cable, Intel Core Duo, improved speed and the vast increase in sheer ability from […]
It’s not very often that I am captured by a book that I would actually class myself as addicted to it. I believe that it takes great content, a great writer, an interesting sway of dialogue and it also takes an interest in the subject. For me, all of these virtual boxes have been ticket […]
