Video Blog: Part Deux

More from your favourite Northern Irish ex-pat I’ve realised that making a video blog is, in fact, not easier than a written one. Nevertheless, I hope you will all enjoy the latest installment. I should point out that I recorded this last week and didn’t get round to editing it until this Thursday. This weekend...

Video Blog: First Entry

New blog, new format Hello and welcome to my all new home online. It’s now been 3 weeks since departing the wetlands of tiny Northern Ireland for the incomprehensibly huge Canada. I’ve grown lazy with blogging, so I’ve now opted to start a video blog (trying to avoid using the word vlog, since it’s incorrect)....

Book review: Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk

I take a look at Gary Vaynerchuk's new book, Crush It. Was it good, was it a waste of time? What's it all about?

Quick Tip: LittleSnapper library synchronization

I’ve been using LittleSnapper for a while now, it’s a great little app for keeping a library of screenshots and inspiration on the web. I find myself using it everyday as I surf the web, and as a designer it’s become an invaluable resource to me. One of it’s failings (for now, anyway) is that...

South Africa Roundup

Last week I returned home from a 2 week trip to South Africa. It was my first time to Africa, so I was very much looking forward to it. As I wrote earlier, the main purpose of the trip was for a wedding but I made the most of it and did a lot of...

Wedding in South Africa

I’m leaving today for a two-week trip to South Africa to see my sister get married. Very excited! It’s my first time to South Africa, first time in Africa even. Actually, it’s my first time travelling to the Southern Hemisphere. I’ll have to remember to check if the toilet flushes anti-clockwise. I’ll add that to...

My Trip to Paris – Part 1

I’ve just returned from 10 great days in Paris, France. Lots to talk about, so rather than write an exhaustive article on the whole trip in one go I’ve decided to split this into a 3 part mini-series. Three articles, three days. Here’s what to expect: Part One: The first three days in Paris BBQ,...

City Break in Galway

I took a little trip this week to Galway, in the west of Ireland. Myself and a few friends packed up the car and headed off on Tuesday evening from Belfast for the 4 hour drive to the west coast. Getting there was a long drive. I borrowed my Mum’s sat-nav just to try it...
