Google Chrome: Is it as good as people say?

After a decent amount of time spent using the newly released Google Chrome web browser, I have come to a conclusion. I do indeed really like it, it is a hell of a lot dater than any of the other browsers I have used, however, that could be because my Firefox is bogged down with [...]

Why is waking up in the morning so hard?

Every morniing I find it very difficult to break out of my deep sleep. When my alarm goes off, most times I tend to roll over and switch it to snooze without even thinking about it. Then, there are the few rare times that I miss the alarm completely. Alarms are so jarring to me [...]

Blogging from an iPhone

After much faffing about and many crashes, I think that I have finally got the new WordPress iPhone app to behave and actually work. I only got my new iPhone 3g a few days ago and I have already fallen in love with it. The predictive text in combination with the onscreen qwerty keyboard makes [...]

My first wallpaper and Digital Matte

I have been working hard on some new artwork (most of which you can find in the gallery) As well as some slight modifications too the website design. I felt that the site was a bit too dark overall, so I’ve re-done the background and headers. This is an ongoing process and I’ll be making [...]

Why I Hate Pigeons

Walking up my local high street today, I almost got attacked. Not by person, but by Pigeon. Now normally, most “flying rats” have the common sense to steer well clear of people, some, on rare occasion take to flying towards people but ultimately loosing their nerve in enough time to swiftly wing it 90 degrees [...]

No More Smoke: Day 3

Dammit! I completely forgot how hard it is to stop smoking. Over the past couple of days, I’ve feel grumpy, happy, headachey; well pretty much all over the place. My emotions have been going crazy (mainly I’ve been feeling pretty low) but I still push on. I know I can do this. I’m not using [...]

No More Smoke: Day 1

I’ve decided that today will be the day that I stop smoking. I had managed this before, through the help of the NHS stop smoking clinic, and Nicorette Patches. I had quit for 6 whole months, however, one small car accident got me started again. This time, I aim to do it under my own [...]

Warcraft Offline: WoW Phone Charms

Ladykildare has a shop over at Etsy.com where she sells her handcrafted World of/Warcraft related items. I must admit, I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to Warcraft stuff, and especially so, when it’s novel little things such as the Hearthstone Mobile Phone Charm. If you don’t know what a phone charm is, [...]

New art uploaded; Long overdue

It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated my blog, Sorry. I’ve been extremely busy lately, sorting a lot out, drawing and designing. My site also went down for a while due to some hosting gremlins that have now been solved. So I return to you all with my latest digital piece. This is going [...]
