at last the bunniman in iTunes

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

I really had given up hope, i signed up on day 1 of the iTunes Music Store launch and registered the bunniman, which i suppose what at least a month ago. Since then, I’d heard nothing, no “no you can’t be in out catalogue”, no “yes, the bunniman RULES and he’s in”, nothing!.

I was talking to a mate about it today and showing him how if you search for “bunniman” in iTunes, you get nothing! and low and behold i got “something”.

So now you can subscribe to the bunnicast via iTunes, now i’ll just have to get some more bunnicasts done. I think i really need a new iPod Video though. With the high quality recording in that, the bunniman would absolutely rule.

this year’s contribution to Movember

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Movember is getting a little old now. It was totally hip last year, but i think it’s losing it’s niche.

Still, a token effort was made.

Cheers to prostate cancer…maybe “cheers” isn’t quite the right word.

Kitten Kong

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

We’ve been working on a viral ad for HBA, its a bit of an homage of The Goodies Kitten Kong episode. See if you can spot me (and my dog).

i didn’t know there were any black russians?

Monday, November 7th, 2005

On friday night i experienced a Black Russian for the first time. There had been a lot of talk about them during the evening so i was keen to get my hands on one. I was delicious. I think i prefer their white counterpart (nothing against blacks), but nonetheless it was a delicious beverage.

I had a dancing competition with a girl called Kate too, she did a backflip, but i licked my shoe, so i think that means i won. Anyone can do a backflip. Apparently she sells shoes down the road from my work, I’ll bet she’s never licked one herself, and she works with them all day. She thought Dan, Baz and i were gay, and we were pretty happy to just leave it that way. I suppose Dan does look pretty gay.

That is Dan on the left, he is slightly retarded (and gay). Especially after a few drinks. Earlier that evening i had been in his bed naked (nothing gay though). I rubbed my sweaty balls all over his pillow while he was out of the room getting me a drink (nothing gay, promise). I think he was trying to get me pissed (cause he is gay).

i’m officially a role model for children

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

I got sent a copy of the “Information & Software Technology” the other day. Seems the Crumpler website that i designed was featured on a page describing some fundamentals of website design. It seems that one of the most politically incorrect, disgustingly juvenile and ultimately non-standard designs that i have ever created is fit for our children, and even used as an example in schools.

That chain on the right hand side of the screenshots is to flush away smears of crap that get splattered on the screen when you press the red “nards” button below it. Unfortunately it seems they were a little off track in some of their examples. These pages describe how designers use things like “tables” to help line up elements on the page when laying out a design in html. This site however, is completely put together in flash. If you viewed the source on this page you certainly won’t see a table anywhere.

But hey, it’s the right idea in principle, and it’s my design in a book, i just hope the kids don’t get too confused. It’s all about the kids.
