I’ve been a fan of Banksy the stencil artist from Bristol, for a few years now, and I can only applaud him on his work everytime I come across something new he has done.
I may be a bit out of the loop with this, but his recent adaptation of Paris Hilton’s album, images, cd and all (I hear it was 500 in total) which were found in Birmingham’s HMV earlier this month was very amusing.
When the media goes on and on about these self obsessed celebrities, its great to see something come about which counteracts this obsession and hits the nail right on the head.
Pure class!

Been very busy recently with projects and all that stuff, but having combed the web recently for decent blogs to read, and coming across events that have taken part as of late…its suddenly dawned on me…where the bloody hell are all the females in this world of css, web standards, development.
I’ve worked in a variety of companies and it has to be said that females seem to be near to nowt in the techy field, the few that I have worked with have been a right laugh, but they are few and far between.
So for all you geek girls out there…gimme a wave!!!

I’m actually quite chuffed. When I signed up to do the 5km run, one of the questions they asked is how much they thought I could raise. I said £200…and honestly, that’s how much I thought I’d be able to get, and looky here, I have now reached £190…just a tenner away!
Needless to say I have since increased the target sum for this run.
According to Christian Aid, £190 is 2 teacher’s annual salaries in Bangladesh, plus basic essentials for an Angolian family. Quite a lot for what has been donated so far.
Its funny how there was so much fight for change last year with the G8 summit, but yet the politicians and governments have so far fallen short of meeting targets.
I wasn’t around to campaign for making poverty history, but it is something that I strongly believe in, and hope others follow too. So for those that have donated so far, THANK YOU, and to those that have still to donate…what are you waiting for?!?!?

Only a few days until I fly out to New York for a well deserved break!!!
Can’t wait, as this will be the first time I’ll actually get time to roam around the city properly. My previous trips have always been for a few days, whereas this trip will be for a week, and we’ll get to experience July 4th there too!!!

After much inspiration from ye olde Conway, I’ve been combing the web for decent themes, and came across this one provided by Bluemountain.
There are a few glitches in firefox at present as I seem to have an overlap of categories, but otherwise I is quite content with this for now.
God bless the peeps out there that have the time to create these things for us lazy good for nothing wordpress bloggers. Without you, we’d be stuck with a very very dull looking set of blogs indeed!!!!!
