Webcam of wonder
Are you creepy? Do you want to see what I do all day?
Then you'll enjoy the recently-insigated webcam; there's a link over
there on the right.
The krazy kids at Dennis are obviously enjoying it. Here, accompanied by the note "Future Publishing forced to ban Tippex after staff bullying incident" is Barry's effort.
Nik wasn't to be outdone.
And then came this from Ross. "Ooooh. You should really nail that page furniture down more securely. Imagine if that had been an ACME anvil, for example."
It's not like they have magazines to publish or anything.

Season of mists and bloody cold mornings

Autumn rocks a phat one. This morning's combination
of low sun and frosty crispness made for some rather
pretty macro cameraphone photography. Apologies for
constantly bombarding y'all with my photographic
braindribble, but these were just too bucolic to pass
up. They haven't been touched in Photoshop except to
add my standard border. They're all up on Flickr or you can download
a zip with all the full-res pics here under a 
licence; they make quite lovely desktops.

The Designer's Desktop Manual
They say that every man has a book in him. By that
measure, I only have two thirds of book left in me,
having contributed heavily to Jason Simmons' tome for
designers. A copy arrived on my desk the other day,
and very swish it is too. It covers everything from
theory to practice, and, though I say it myself, it's
a damned fine resource.
There are some sample chapters up for browsing at the publisher's site, and if you want a copy – it's only £15 – you can buy it from Amazon; click here or on the graphic in the sidebar, and I'll get a little slice of commission from Amazon.
In other news, I tottered through to London on Thursday for a press briefing which was held at the O2. I now more than ever regret not making it down to Greenwich when 'the O2' actually was the Millennium Dome. It's a phenomenal building, and I'm really looking forward to next weekend's trip to see the Foo Fighters performing there.
