Firefox

'The Real Firefox'.
From a website about cute animals. I suggest any animal lovers to take a look.

Kept

I looked at this website a while back, courtesy of steph, and I tagged it in my delicious site. I just opened it up there and it's yet another thing that I can relate to about my dissertation. I've been doing a little bit of work on it lately and i'm really enjoying it. I'm actually surprised at how interesting it could be if I continue with it next year.

5 Sites To Get You Inspired

I found this website ages ago and just came across it again. Thought it might be useful to anyone who's struggling for some inspiration. Not properly looked at it but here it is anyway:

My New Blog!

My new blog is up and running!!

The blog which I have made as part of my latest project is almost completed. It's up at the moment so feel free to have a look, and comments will be appreciated. The blog is a make tutorial and this one has been based on bending sheet metal. I've documented the processes which I went through so that anyone else can replicate the process when they are using sheet metal.

Too many bottles

A huge amount of plastic bottles aree beginning to build up on my desk!!
Me and my friend from 'odd things' have started to collect plastic bottles instead of throwing them out once used. And considering we're creatives we want to make something with them. I currently have no idea what to do !!!
So any ideas please let us know, any suggestions are welcome.
This is a little project which we wish to do during our time of in the summer.

Another Day Another Park

It was such a nice day today which meant it was park time again, and this time I had my camera. Here's a few images I took today, the rest will be uploaded to my Flickr account soon!

A walk in the park

I had a walk through Dudhope park today which is just along the road from where I live. It was a nice day in Dundee and a walk in the park felt necessary.
I was just strolling through and then thought how relaxing it was, just to hear the birds singing and then all the visual colours of nature were so inspiring.
If only I had my camera with me!!!
I did have my mobile with me which allowed me to take some pictures but not great ones. This then got me thinking about going along with my digital camera to take some pictures for inspiration. But I think I will take this up as a hobby in the summer (depending on my free time) and experimenting with different images. I'll start off at Dudhope park (there's great views of Dundee from there) and then try some other places around Scotland and then publish them all onto my Flickr account.
You can see some of my photos from last summer in St Andrews already on there.

The One With The Flickr Account



I've updated my Flickr page with uploading some more photos from the semester so far. These include pictures from the research (or Find) stage and also some of my prototyping (Play) stage. There's also some pictures of my last set of cultural probes. Feel free to have a wee look.
