I’ve just spent 2 really awesome days at the Future of Web Design conference.
The talks were awesome, in particular I got a lot out of the sessions on Emotional Design and User Testing; and the jQuery for Designers information will also be really useful. It was great having the design clinics and hearing Mike Kus’ [...]

New website June 29, 2009

I’m happy with the design – it’s very suitable [...]
FOWD April 30, 2009

3 year anniversary of my blog November 21, 2008
Crazy… my blog is 3 years old! YAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEBSITE!!!
Given my tendency to avoid everything computer-ish after work I do think I’ve done pretty well to post something every month over that time… I guess it goes to show that something can take shape over time.
There has also been a redesign for every year, [...]

I love Meomi! January 23, 2008
Okay Meomi Cloud House has to be like my favourite site ever! Cause not only does it have really cute graphics and awesome desktops for download, but it also has a really nice combination of static and interactive features. A lot of sites are either Flash for HTML – or if they [...]

Like Steve, I applied for both the HTML/CSS role and the design role, and am a wee bit nervous about designing [...]
Sneak peek – new website design July 3, 2007

When the weekend comes around I am sick of [...]
