Thomas Allen & his Amazing Art.
















Wow! Check this guy out. He partly cuts out images from old pulp books etc and does wonderous things with them. Check his art here.

Copyright Law explained by Disney Characters!



An amusing short film made up of ye old 'cut and paste' routine using Disney film characters to explain Copyright Law and related concepts such as 'fair use' and 'public domain'.
It's a great little film even though it's a little hard to catch what they're saying at times but it's all worth the viewing.

Enjoy!

Misbehaving Badly




Is it just me or am I detecting some outstanding bad behaviour involving the Safari browser?

The damned thing seems to be getting very out of date very, very quickly. I've noticed too many sites that are not behaving as they should be in Safari, including my website. Indeed, if I want to upload this blog I have to use Firefox instead of Safari as Safari just doesn't know what to do.
Let's hope they upgrade it soon or just get rid of it.

This Woman Saved My Bacon!



Janine Warner is my hero!
She's really saved my bacon as far as missing important classes involving the construction of web design in Dreamweaver 8.
This DVD tutorial from Total Training is very informative and she is the sweetest thing too. Easy to follow, easy to understand, it makes the art of controlling Dreamweaver 8 simply amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with their projects. I bought my copy from Amazon UK and I think it's a grand investment.

A List Apart

I'm absolutely freaking about my work schedule.
I really haven't grasped the idea of CSS at all. However, I've found this site A List Apart which is a rather fantastic site dedicated to web designers. Hopefully it will help me with my super fast learning I need to do.

My Easter Ancestory



Well, seeing as it's Easter time I thought I'd do a little research into my namesake. St Andrew was a dude! Not only was he one of the first disciples but he traveled a lot and healed the sick, started religions and built cathedrals. Those who resisted his teachings became possessed and gnawed at their bodies until Andrew healed them.

He was then crucified onto an X shaped cross (he was tied, not nailed) and left to die upside down looking at the heavens. Cool!

Other findings, the X shaped cross is used in both the Scottish and British flags and he is the patron Saint of Scotland.

How very cool!
