I’ve been following an interesting path in the last few weeks. As well as starting on a couple of new website commissions and fulfilling my regular client content management obligations, I’ve been working on what amounts to a spate of newsletters recently. There are aspects to this kind of work that generate some heat. There […]
Another site I designed and built went live tonight. Juniper Films are documentary film makers who specialise in capturing stories and images of the South Pacific. Their 30+ year history is also marked by a pretty handy sideline in chronicling lives and events in the Australian arts industry. A highly enjoyable project, this one. Just
It’s probably time I owned up to this one. That might sound like an odd way to add another site to my portfolio, but the Tooling Australia project is a bit different to the others. It’s been built for Internet Explorer, for a start. Yes, that is the browser that is used by – as
My fourth site launch in the last three weeks – will the madness never end? Still and all, I’d rather have too much work than not enough. I’m still not quite convinced that this web design / development bubble won’t suddenly burst. This website is for a book called This Way to the Sea, a

Another site I designed and built was launched on to the web today. This one is for AB Communicates, a Sydney-based consultancy that draws on the immense skills and experience of Andrew Buchanan. Andrew has a very interesting history and a very interesting line of work. I first met him when he was (I think)
I had the pleasure of attending Search Summit 2007 this week, which bills itself as “THE Australian Search Marketing Conference”. That would be a big call for any conference, let alone one that focuses on what is now called ‘the search industry’, but it lived up to the billing. The speaker who was probably most
I’ve recently dipped my virtual toes into the waters surrounding web standards and accessibility. This has involved absorbing current and past opinions offered by members of the Web Standards Project and participating in the mail list maintained by the Web Standards Group. WSP provides lot of food for thought about the big picture – why

In 1977 I bought my first guitar. I’d been playing for a few years by then, originally pulled in by my older brother’s need to have someone play the bass line of Spicks and Specks while he sang and soloed. By the age of 18, however, I’d outgrown Andy’s hand-me-down nylon string classical and even
