New year, New look

Coffee, Costa Coffee Newquay
I took this picture in September when on our holidays in Cornwall. It was taken in the new Costa Coffee store in Newquay during a much earned break ;). Anyways I was tidying up some photo folders on my iMac and came across this picture the other day and thought that's just what I need to finish off my new website's look. I've been working on the new site for sometime now and well here it is.

quarterlife

Picture 1

I came across this site a few weeks ago and have now managed to watch the first 22 episodes. The show was developed for web distribution but it also appears that it will be aired on NBC starting in February. Each show runs for an average 9 minutes and follows a group of friends in their 20s and a social networking website. Starring actors from hit shows such as Dawson's Creek and Desperate Housewives and directors like Eric Stoltz it's definitely worth a watch. Check it out at http://quarterlife.com

Reunion Concert Pictures

Reunion Concert 2007 Photos

As promised in an earlier post last month I've posted some photographs taken at the 2007 Reunion Concert held in benefit for the John Eastwood Hospice. Only half of the pictures have been posted here, the rest can be viewed on my flickr account.

Pictures of Madrid

Madrid Photo's 2007

Back in June last year I spent time working away in Madrid, Spain. I managed to find a few hours to walk around the centre of Madrid visiting the famous landmarks such as the Santiago Football Stadium (Estadio Santiago). I've sorted through the pictures and picked out 30 for a photo album on my site for you to view. Don't forget if you have any comments please feel free to leave them using the comments link below. To view the Madrid 2007 album click on the image above or on the link below:

Fruit Bat


This short film was taken during our holiday on the Island of Meerufenfushi in December 2007. The video shows one of the island's Fruit Bats collecting food from a palm tree. For more information about the movie click here.

Tesla Roadster

Tesla Roadster

For those of you who know me I've been looking to change my Chrysler Neon for something more environmentally friendly and with cheaper running costs now for some time but have yet to make up my mind. I so wish I could get my hands on the new 100% electric, 0-60MPH in under 4 seconds Tesla Roadster. This car looks awesome, has a 220 miles range and a 135 mpg equivalent, it also comes with a top speed of 125mph. This car definitely marks the return of the electric car. The only problem for me is it's only available in the US for now and comes with a $98,000 price tag. Oh well! Check out the Tesla Roadster at http://www.teslamotors.com

DVD Sale

Since getting back from our recent trip to the Maldives (photos and video coming soon...) we have been de-cluttering our house and having a good clear out of 'stuff' we don't want or need any more. Since I am a member of Lovefilm I've decided that I no longer need to keep copies of DVD's, if I want to watch them again I simple add them to my list and rent using my Lovefilm subscription service. Therefore I'm in the process of going through all my DVD's, both movies and TV box sets and listing them up on ebay to sell. So if you are looking for a cheap bargain DVD check out my eBay listings here.
