You don’t believe we’re on the eve of directions?

I love the smell of a conference in the morning. Not really, more of the pre-conference coffee. It’s taken me pretty much all day to get to a stage where I think I can have a 1 hour rush tomorrow and be completely packed and ready to go. I’m watching a live Dio DVD and [...]

See Al strum. Strum Al, strum.

For whatever reason, a while ago, I decided I wanted to learn to play flamenco guitar. So far I haven’t exactly done well, but I decided to record a little clip now and then of my playing. I recorded a clip after playing for about 4 hours just to get a base that I can [...]

Say it isn’t Snow

I don’t know why, but everything seems to remind me of an episode of the Simpsons in some way:

Is it just me?

Web Directions South 2008

Having just finalised my accommodation at a pub and Web Directions Workshop, I can sit back and tilt my chair. Last year I went to Web Directions in Sydney, as a guy whose skill set is somewhat limited I was stunned by the amount of awesome presentations and the passion of the attendees.

I don’t really bother trying [...]

Cubescape - Pew Pew

Every now and then something makes me tilt my chair backwards and clap my hands in childish glee. Well, okay, it’s pretty damn often, but today I was shown (via Twitter) a Man in Blue experiment called Cubescape. Its an amazing experiment and the animation looks very cool. Not only is it an epic [...]

Is it cold in here or is it just me?

Okay, I don’t really have a reason for posting this other than to whinge and have an excuse to use my new camera(the scan is a pic I took of it…). Any Perthians may have noticed its getting a little cold these last few days. I don’t usually complain about cold weather, I actually kinda [...]

Al’s Wordpress Adventures

Okay, pretty much everyone knows I have a gamey-site. I also designed it myself. Even when I hadn’t broken the layout it still looked crappy, but I have been on a bit of a gaming rampage lately and have been blogging on it more. The next step is to give it a new image, I [...]
