Thoughts on Wikipedia

17th May 2010

If you didn’t notice Wikipedia is now flaunting a brand new design, well a least a bit of a refresh. A *small* aesthetic update is warranted every now and then. You’d never go and turn McDonald’s green now would you? Oh, yeah, they did that… bad example. I just had a look at McDonald’s UK [...]

Website Design and Development! I started writing a blog about all the cool things being a web designer has to offer, i.e. ever changing technologies (slicker browsers, screens with pixels pushed closer together, HTML5, CSS3 with shadows and rounded corners everywhere etc).

A new project! The other week I was indirectly reminded (via twitter, obviously) about a previous obsession with Origami. To satisfy a sudden resurging demand to fold everything in half I picked up a few sheets of origami paper – and that was that. Well today a package arrived from Hong Kong along with a [...]
