One of the things that has been really lacking in WordPress is the ability to easily administer your theme menu(s). Sure, there are quite a few plugins available that made it significantly easier, but there was never any “built in” methods. This has now changed with the release of WordPress 3.0 and in my opinion, it’s one its best new features. Read more…
The Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) quite often produces posters to advertise their various events or conferences they are supporting, which are then sent out to each of their members.

I was among the many thousands of people who got their hands on a new Apple iPad a couple of days ago when they were finally released internationally. I’d pre-ordered mine back at the beginning of May so I received mine by courier on May 28, the day they were released. Read more…
Ever since I was a kid, like most boys, I was fascinated with anything to do with space. The starry kind, not the wide open ones.

A Tilt-Shift effect on your image gives it the impression that the subject is actually a scale model. It does this by dramatically simulating a shallow Depth of Field along with an increase in the color saturation. Read more…
What better way to start off the New Year than with some freebie iPhone Wallpaper.
I love the iTunes Visualiser. I could sit and watch it for hours. It certainly beats the hell out of Windows Media Player’s “Bars & Waves”. These freebie iPhone wallpapers feature the iTunes visualiser in all it’s glory. Read more…
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you would’ve no doubt heard that Microsoft Windows 7 was recently released to the retail market, on October 22. If you know me even the slightest, you’ll know that I’ve been hanging out for the Win7 release purely so that I could finally rid myself of Windows Vista. Read more…
