Okay, the truth needs to come out before I forget...
Sometime ago I posted some images of a bottle of Penfolds Grange ($350-$400 bottle of wine), claiming that I had got it for my birthday; the trap was layed. I had infact used my graphic design powers for evil and created the Grange label with my incredible skills. So hey, I guess the moral of this story is: if you need a certificate to help boost your CV or a doctors note you know I got the skills. word.

Spent Chinese New Year Eve at Aaron's place - finally got a chance to play around with his coffee machine. Thought I did a decent job; until Ruth upstaged me with her own design.

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

I was playing around with iPhoto, testing out what it could do, and came up with this. I am tempted to do this to all my photos - and start an inner monologue, narrating my life in third person, and have the theme music 'With A Little Help From My Friends'. That would be grand.

My tickets to Dave Matthews Band arrived today. Hooray! Except, I have tickets to The Roots concert, on the same day. WHY! I really don't know... meh

I've realised that crapper stains on a toilet aren't so bad. They give you something to aim for when you're peeing. And when they've been there for a while and are well stuck, they become a mission. You've got to push extra hard and focus your stream into a yellow laser, to cut away at the alien space craft that has attached itself, and has come to take over the earth... that is the toilet bowl.

Here are a couple of things nik got me for my birth celebratory day. First is a bottle of wine... pretty good huh...




Really happy with these - the first is Solid Gold a special publication by the Society of Publication Designers (SPD) and the other is the 41st Publication Design Annual by the SPD.

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves.
