I normally put stuff like this over on my Tumblr account, but felt that this guy’s talent was too good not to share.
Okay, so I’ve already ranted about the fact that Apple charged me for the original software update for my iPod Touch to enable email and wot-not, so at least I was prepared to have to part with a bit of cash for the new Software Update 2.0 for iPhone to enable installation of the new onboard apps. And this time it only cost me £5.99, so that’s not too bad 
So far I’ve downloaded 6 or 7 applications (mostly free) and for the most part I’m impressed. The real revelation, as far as I’m concerned, is the Remote app from Apple, which allows you to control iTunes (via WiFi) from your iPod - basically turning it into a touch screen remote control. At home I have my Mac Mini hooked up to my speakers, and by using Remote I no longer need to have my monitor switched on to use iTunes. Sweet!
I’ve also installed the usual plethora of social networking apps - Facebook, Twitter and WordPress (watch out for posts on-the-fly from now on!), as well as purchasing the obligatory Super Monkey Ball, and am looking forward to seeing where this new era in mobile computing (cos that’s what it is now) will take us. In my mind, by opening up the SDK for the iPhone, Apple are going to make an impact on the world of mobile consumer electronics that’s every bit as big as when they released the first iPod (if not greater).
So I take it back - Apple aren’t cheeky bastards, and I loves them.
Love to your mothers.

Some time ago I did a little bit of design work for a company called PicPac over in Morley, Leeds. The main thing that struck me was the boundless enthusiasm and self-confidence of the founder/MD - a guy called Gareth Boot. Apart from the fact that he pretty much gave us carte blanche to do some interesting print and brand work for him, I really enjoyed working with him because of his strong will to make a difference in the world.
I’m not sure how successful he’s been so far, but he had the intention to set up a campaign to get a one-off donation of just £1 from colleagues/customers/people off the street so that they could send a container of food/aid over to Africa, and prove that everyone can make a difference, and that it doesn’t take much (something that I firmly believe also).
Any-hoo, pop over to http://www.pickingandpacking.co.uk/?pagename=make-a-difference to see what he has to say, and to find out a little bit more about his company.
Love to your mothers.
My name is Phil Smith, I currently live in Leeds (West Yorkshire), and I design and build websites. I like coffee, Guinness and the calm before the storm.
And you look lovely today, by the way.
Strictly speaking, I'm not currently available for freelance work but I'm always on the look out for interesting projects to collaborate on, so drop me a line.
