I’ve been playing around with a bunch of designs, t-shirt slogans, and all sorts of random things lately. Both Zazzle and CafePress inspire me, along with a bunch of different websites and designers. So I’ve started putting together some of my own things, maybe they’re t-shirts, maybe they’re desktops, maybe they’re for... (more...)
Music is a passion of mine. I can’t write or play a note, and believe me when I say I really really can’t sing, however there is music playing around me all day every day. When I’m at work I have iTunes open and playing on shuffle, when I’m at home it’s the same, and when I’m in the car their is either a CD... (more...)
I’ve been busting my butt the last couple of days and nights to get the new Cool and Stuff website up and running. So far, so good, with the site. The traffic is building up nicely, there’s been loads of content to publish and I’m pretty damn happy with the layout of the site so far. In other news related to Cool and Stuff I will... (more...)

Obviously it’s a bit difficult to give an answer to that in an email, unless of course the band is Silverchair, so I asked a few... (more...)
Well today was officially my last day of holidays. I’ve pretty well had 3 weeks off now for the wedding and honeymoon, and I must admit I really really don’t want to go back. If only there was some way for me to get / win a few million dollars overnight…..hrmmm This weekend has been pretty flat out, apart from having a load of... (more...)
