Oh dear, just one day late, but I like to announce that one of my posts has been selected for a Blog Carnival called, "The Carnival of the Mobilists". My first ever and not only that, I have been awarded a "Posting of the...
Astute readers may remember a while back I was looking at creating my own personal industrial design project titled something like "Creating the iPod beater, oh really?" You can read the back ground info here: Industrial Design 101, Industrial Design 102, and Industrial Design 103. Well the...
We take a short break from design blogging today to dive into some extreme geek blogging. Apparently you can buy a Windows Vista upgrade for your Windows XP, COOL! But in typical Microsoft manner they actually literally put the upgrade OVER your existing...
I have recently been talking about how there are many blogs all over the world and naturally some are good and some are, well, not so good. Invariably the quality of the blogs apparently falls into a few categories. Just like actors you...
Well the only way you can get that many people from around the world together in one place is on the internet! Warning slow loading after the you click for the "Jump" Accordingly to Tino Buntic there are 55 Million Blogs on the internet and he would...
Following on from my last post on this amazing viral blog meme, I felt that such great piece of work by Purple Wren needs to be somehow immortalized. As most of these blogs are pretty good, I like to somehow turn this Z-List into...
Here is the official press release of the Nissan Design Forum that I mentioned that I was invited to be a moderator off. A little late, but found it actually by googling my name. Oh the vanity! Check out my ugly mug towards the...

Yesterday I got out of my National Service commitments just in time to attend the prize giving ceremony of the Red-Dot Award: design concept 2006. This award is the industrial design industry's equivalent of the Oscars and it was held at the red-dot design...
