I’ve started a site called ‘t.echnologist.com’.
The point of this site is to provide articles and information on latest tech. Reports on markets trends and advices on agency software and hardware. Ultimately the next part is to stoke some ideas in the creative couldron.
I want to be able to inspire cool thinking. It’s obviously initially going to have to come form me, I’ll have to put in the hard yards and create new ideas. Then I have to visualise them! That’s a bit more of an effort for me.
However, when it’s all done, it will ultimately be an outlet for myself to learn, and create. Hopefully, I’ll find a way to get other people on board. We’ll be able to create and dream new ideas, using new technology, and hopefully inspire others to create products that we would never have seen otherwise.

Here’s a shout out to an old mate of mine who’s the archetypical mad genius: IAN AXTON!!! 
Like most artists, he lives on another planet full of banana wearing chimpanzee fighting space aliens from the other side of Galasticus. Probably wearing tuxedos and sporting a shy smile, before they proliferate the planet, with laser firing flowers ( note to self, find out what proliferate means ).
Anyways, I’m proud of his work, as much as I am of him, so check out the attached images, or go to his facebook page!

Today I had to pay my VAT bill. Well, to be more exact, I had to pay it some time ago, but because I’m currently living in New Zealand, but registered in the UK, I have to submit and pay my UK VAT for my company still.
Anyways, for some time I thought I paid it. I paid it late, but I paid it. Some months ago I phoned up and told them my situation, and they were very helpful (very good customer service! ). They had to resend my VAT bill out to my father, who then had to wait for me to give him the details, and then he had to post to them. Long winded process!
I called again today, only to find out they never received the letter bizarrely. *gulp*
I had been in fear of fines, and even court dates in my naive imagination. However, there are very tolerant, and very understanding in my recently acquired experience.
They helped me register there and then online, telling me the details I needed to enter, including the last VAT amount I entered.
I quickly submitted the two months I had been missing, and that was that!…. almost! I still need to pay the balance of my actual VAT debt, which is about £70. Much relief, it could have been so much worse.
Imagine living in the time of Robin Hood, and no paying your taxes on time.. not nearly so much leniency and very much less conciliatory customer service one would expect
