The Inflatable House started life as a micro blog on Tumblr, hosting YouTube videos of music I’d come across and wanted to share. The along came This Is My Jam, which pretty much did the exact same thing – only a little more socially. I didn’t just want to abandon my Tumblr blog, so set about integrating my This Is My Jam updates in amongst the YouTube videos I was still adding.

Self Centered Censorship
January 27th, 2012 in Social NetworkingAt no other point in history have we been so comfortable sharing our lives with complete strangers. Being comfortable is basically akin to being at home – and when you’re at home, you let your guard down and do whatever you want.
Cloud Boxes
January 3rd, 2012 in ToolsA few months ago I signed up to Box.net — now just called Box — during their iOS 50gb promotion, I and many others received 50gb of free storage, forever, in exchange for signing up using their iPhone app. I was really impressed with the promotion – if you compare it to Dropbox’s free 2gb account or SugarSync’s 5gb then it’s miles out in front.
Plans for Twenty Twelve
January 2nd, 2012 in ObservationsLast year was the first time I had written a list of new years resolutions for myself, mainly aimed at my goals for work, but also taking in family and personal goals. Last week a wrote a review of that list, I did OK, but not brilliant. I definitely over reached, wanting to do too much – taking on both more client work and more personal projects. So this year will be a little different.
That was 2011
December 28th, 2011 in ObservationsI’ve just had a read through my 2011 New Years Resolution blog post, to see what I was thinking this time last year and to see if I achieved some of the things I set out for this year. The post is more of a vague wish list rather than a point by point resolution and todo list — something I will do within the next week for 2012 — so it’s hard to put a score on how I did.
Trying To Do Too Much
November 26th, 2011 in Design, ObservationsIf you’re a freelancer who’s taking on too much work, then I highly recommend you read this book: “So Few Of Me” by Peter H. Reynolds.
Before the end of the year…
November 10th, 2011 in ObservationsThere are 53 days list of 2011, this is a list of all the projects and big tasks I need and want to get done by the end of the year – the majority of which will be done over the Christmas holidays.
Speed Freaks
November 7th, 2011 in Design, ToolsI couple of weeks ago I was contacted on Twitter by Dan Fast from Shift Scape, he commented that my website was loading a little slow, that he was starting a service offering performance work on websites and would I mind being a test subject for the service.
Mini Me
November 7th, 2011 in ToolsNo, this is not another post about my avatar, but a post about my new short URL I’ll be using to share links and images with and the service that’s doing all the work – CloudApp. I’ve had CloudApp installed on my Mac for ages, but only used it once or twice in the space of a couple of years. I knew how clever it was, but I just couldn’t work out how I could use it… until recently.
