4 easy steps towards socially responsible design
There’s been a lot of talk recently — and by recently, I mean in the last few years — about social responsibility, and how it relates to a slew of different industries. With some industries (big auto, big oil, big pharma, mining, defence; need I go on?) the respective implications and implementations are obvious. And [...]

Identify this face #1
I saw these specimens on a mop bucket in my brother’s laundry, and my interest was piqued.

From whence my muse cometh, Pt. 1 – Typography
Oh no. Dilemma. It’s 2am. It’s two days past my post-per-week deadline, and I still don’t know what I’m going to write about! I know. I’ll have a look at my Google Reader account, and maybe I’ll be able to draw some inspiration therein.
Two hours of reading, viewing, laughing and ooh-ahhing follow.
Ok, so still no [...]

A flame about flames…
This last week in my adopted home-state of Victoria has seen vicious fires rip through the areas to the north, northeast and northwest of Melbourne. Entire towns (such as Marysville and Kinglake) have been all but destroyed, leaving little more than a hotel and several houses – and even those are certainly not unscathed. Thousands [...]

holiday snaps pt 1 – War Memorial
Ok, so it says part one, but don’t be fooled: there will be future posts that happened before this. Basically I’m just uploading and posting as I get around to editing the photos and cutting out the dodgier ones. I should probably try to cut them down even more, but there’s just so many I [...]
