Horizontal Lines


I feel the need to share this link to Smashing Magazine's post on Horizontal Lines. Noting the fall in the use of horizontal lines in web design (and maybe in print as well?), Smashing Magazine asked their readers to come up with some creative horizontal lines to be downloaded and used by everyone. You can now get a free zip file of hundreds of the entries for use as a vector (.ai) or photoshop file (.psd). Go to!

What colour are you?


Thankyou kristy - according to this pantone colour matching birthday profiley thingemy, I'm a Cameo Green - compassionate, giving, able to do many things on an emotional and intellectual level and with a rare understanding of the human condition. I agree.

Cheap Wares in Oz.

Fathers day brunch brings Fathers net connection. My sister just put me on to Matt Blatt, an online retailer hailing from Sydney and with showrooms in Melbourne and Brisbane. I think most of their furnishings are replicas of original designs and stem from production houses in China. I'd be really interested to see the details compared to the originals but at first glance they look pretty good. You can pick up this replica Jens Risom Sitting Stool for a lowly $185.00 (Aus), along with gems by Eames, Starck, Jacobsen and many more.

Still Operating.

I'm still alive but unfortunatley have no home net connection so the possibilities and the joys of blogging are seriously defined right now. But I'll be back up soon. p
