Sailing west Coast of Italy...

Me and my sister have flown out to Lamezia Terme yesterday morning, after a somewhat sleepless night... Purchasing a ticket from the train station to vibo marina proved to be an amusing experience. Someone in the queue in front of us seemed to be having an argument with the woman in the booth... all of a sudden the ticket woman and all the people in her office proceeded to get up, leave the office and then go for a coffee at the cafe opposite... The queue full of customers waited till the staff had finished their coffee and got back to work before being able to buy a ticket...

Yesterday was a day to get over jetlag/Ryan air's flight times and to relax on the beach, and swim... my parents have been of sailing around the med for a while now...below you can see a screen grab of software, max sea...pinpointing our GPS position (red boat shape) and showing where my parents have been over the last few weeks and months (greenline).



This is out current position, and am connected via gprs...Anyway, its beautifully warm and sunny out side, so i must leave you for now, and get back to chilling out on the deck.

T shirt design...

I have designed the t shirts for this year in adventure and expedition club.....


After much deliberation in the pub, we finally came up with a slogan... very true!

catch up...

i havent posted anything for a short while... i have a job now working for Plymouth university, which im pretty chuffed with- working in the planetarium creating immersive media -media that is displayed on the inside of the dome via a 180 degree projector alowing the viewer to see media content all around them- hense the word "immersive".

Summers over, although i hate to admit it, theres been no jumping in the sea or bbq in a little while, i need my bbq and sea fix pretty soon i think!

This year ive joined the saling club, and will hopefully be out next saturday sailing, this year i want to get away at the weekends as much as possible with adventure and expo and maybe a few random trips to europe etc...

Collaborative project...

Back home in Essex i agreed to do a collaborative project with a friend Jon, where by he could learn a bit of flash and I could extend my portfolio with experimental art work.

We decided (eventually) on a game of hangman, taking the traditional game and making it an online experience that would allow the user to play against the computer or set words themselves. The keys on the keyboard would be pressed and the user would see a response on screen...this follows on from the negotiated project idea.

We spent a while taking photos in the woods, and making a basic version of the hangman game in flash using action script...

Although the game could easily be finished in an hour as it stands, we are making it a highly visual piece...with much more emphasis on the graphic design and illustration...below are a few ideas so far that we will hopefully work into some more:

Moving Out and the last week

It seemed to take several days to completley empty my house in greenbank of everything in it; this involved a large amount of stress and hard work...Being as my things are stored at two friends houses, the landlord more or less a resident at the end of the week (what with turning up at random first thing in the morning and seeing him every day), and not knowing quite where i should/would be living full stop...

Despite all this all is well as i decided to come back to essex for a while and stay with my nan...


Since being here i have caught up with friends in london and at Toms bbq party (cheers Tom if your reading this by the way).
