Hoovervirb v2

Sometimes when I have 3 - 4 design jobs on the go and I get stuck with one, I move onto another because it refreshes my mind and gets me out of those design lulls. So I decided since I re-pimped my Myspace page, why not do the same with my Virb page. Sorry Facebook but seriously, you are boring as bat shit.

Oh and yes I have new designs for my blog and my portfolio. But they’re a lot more time consuming atm.

Favourite Web 2.0 Sites

Recently, more and more people have kept coming to me asking what “Web 2.0″ is. Most of these people haven’t got their head around what is considered “Web 1.0″ so to explain it verbally will just confuse these people even more.

“Web 2.0″ sites are fast becoming extremely addictive, at least for me. Content management and access is the key feature here and since this is the way the web is going (there is no turning back kids), I’d like to share my favourite web 2.0 sites and their best features (as favoured by me):

  Yeah not bad I guess although why not allow users to design their own? Via Digg.
- Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
  I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

  Copy and paste. Flash in Safari? Yes please. They also need a pleasefixtheipodtouch.com because it should be able to take photos & use GPS like the iPhone. Via Pleasefixtheiphone

- Wall-E
  
  Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!
