Mix-Tape Madness (The Maestro)

Like many individuals, the ritual of a coffee in the morning is borderline necessity for me and it is also one that i look forward to each and every day. Now there are many reasons for this, the foremost being that the coffee is excellent and the others largely relating to the attractiveness of the waitresses. The occasional hot customer comes in as well which is yet another perk and this is where the origin of this mix-tape lies.

Seven Sides Of A Sister (The Maestro)

Sisters. Love them or loathe them, chances are you have one. And if you are unlucky (or lucky) enough not to have one then i feel for you because they really do make life much more fun. Or is that painful? Entertaining? Awkward? Embarrassing? Humorous? All of the above? I can say with confidence that it is all of the above and many more adjectives that would take too long to mention.

Steve Jobs – The Unofficial Biography

This is an extract from wikipedia: “Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is an American business magnate, and the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple and known turtle neck wearing tool that produces closed off electronics that have more faults then a tennis match, but inexplicitly still has a rabid fan base that rival star wars fans (or possibly the fans are one and the same) and hails him, and his products as some sort of enlightened entity, worthy of spending freezing nights in the cold to get the first copy of what will most likely be a faulty product”.

Leave Facebook Alone!!!

I was going to wear a wig, and post something on youtube but as per usual my lethargy has stopped my creative juices from flowing. So instead I am going to post my social observations here where about 2 people will actually read it, but in my mind the whole world will see it. It is in relation to the latest social networking scandal about a paedophile “grooming” children for sex. Now not even I am going to make jokes about paedophilia, I wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole (and no that’s not some sort of sly pun, you sick individual).

An Open Letter to my Anonymous Spammer

Thankyou for sending the same comment on everysingle one of my posts. I can only assume that you really like my work and every post on the site particularly because you mention you like my writing style every time. However when I went to reciprocate the favour your site featured pictures of naked women. Were you aware of this? Some of the pictures even have women and men trying to make babies. I was horrified and after searching through every page on your site for a contact page or exit button, I finally managed to close down the site after running out of moisteriser and tissues.

Just before Christmas I was doing a blog design for a client. The client was a difficult one who seemingly hated to divulge any information. Anyway my fiance went into early labor (6 weeks early) and my son was in intensive care for an indefinite period (turned out to be 2 weeks). As a result of the news I simply couldn’t deal with the client or the project, even if I chose to delay the project I just did not want to think about work at that time. I set up another designer to take over the job and then explained to the client why I couldn’t deliver. When I did this it got me thinking about all the excuses I have been told by designers, programmers and freelancers over the years. Whilst I will concede every now and then
