Finally, the eagerly anticipated Adobe Creative Suite 5 has been launched.
Computer Arts has compiled a list of 40 new features in CS5 that {I must admit} has whetted my appetite and got me thinking about upgrading. It’s well worth a read if you’re looking for a comprehensive overview of key features across the whole suite.

Here’s a little treat that came through on email today. I have no idea where the images originate from, but I thought they were funny creative enough to make it out of the temp folder, and on to the blog. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
My brother works as a 3D Visualisation Artist for architects Wilkinson Eyre. His “fancy graphics” have made it on to the news in Canada as they canvas local support for a proposed $63million traffic bridge.
People on the street don’t seem sure about the modern design – but that’s irrelevant to my brother’s role, which is creating the visualisation of the architect’s concept. It’s certainly quite funny how locals talk about the “video game” pictures as if they be the work of witchcraft!
OK, I know I need to stop posting Boggins related content. It’s childish, and probably quite boring to anyone who doesn’t know, or care, about The Adam and Joe Show.
The reason I am posting this however, is because once again, I have been impressed by the creativity of listeners to the show.
In response to the ongoing Boggins question {save or kill}, Olly Moss has created these two posters for downloading.

I have been using the Spotify music streaming service more or less since it launched a year ago. Not only is it a great tool for discovering new music and getting reacquainted with old favourites, it has also been interesting to follow Spotify’s progress from a business point of view.

Well, I made it to the end of The Apprentice “Design for Life” {BBC2 14/09/09 – 12/10/09}.
I’m not sure why I stuck with it – I found it hugely annoying. I guess there was just enough of the promised ‘design’ content to keep my finger hovering over the remote, without quite committing to a channel change.
If you missed it, here’s the BBC’s overview… Read the rest of this entry »
I really enjoyed the excellent “Electric Dreams” season that aired recently on BBC4.
As well as reminding me of long forgotten games and gadgets from the 1970s, ’80s & ’90s, the condensing of three decades into three hours made my head spin with the speed of technological development.
It seems like we have had home computers, microwaves, the internet, mp3 players, satellite TV, etc… for soooo much longer than we actually have.
