Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle
Anyone who knows me knows that I love some Zelda action. So I'm in love with this trailer for a new Zelda game..?
The Lost Oracle is what every fan wants and, unfortunately, not something we're likely to see. The trailer was created by Joel Furtado - 'just for fun'.
The animation has all the Zelda trademarks, including the sound effects and music, and fans of the series will recognise the enemies and environments as ...
YouTube: Best of 2011
YouTube is awesome - I recently read a statistic that said that the average YouTube user is watching over 300 YouTube videos a month.
Part of this must be because of the proliferation of devices that you can watch YouTube on. The recent XBox 360 update (that I mentioned the other day) has a YouTube app that let's you watch YouTube in the comfort of your own living room. It makes a big difference watching the ...
New Xbox 360 – Just For Games?
Not entirely sure how this happened but I was recently invited to be an Xbox 360 ambassador. What does this mean? Well I have been asked to write a couple of blog posts and post some tweets about Xbox.
The reason for becoming an ambassador is to promote the new Xbox 360 dashboard functionality that turns your Xbox from a pure games console, into a full blown media hub.
New DashboardWhen you first load the new dashboard the first thing you ...
A Strange Request and Your Chance to win £200 of Amazon Vouchers
This is a slightly strange request - but I have had a pr company contact me and ask me to get my readers to fill out a survey - and the survey gives you a chance to win £200 worth of Amazon vouchers.
There is a reason for me posting this - and all will become clear in the future - but for the time being you'll have to make do with this cryptic message
Anyway - if you want to ...
Brave – Pixar – Awesome
Pixars new movie, Brave, looks super sweet!
I love that Pixar like to do things that go off in totally different directions. This movie actually reminds me a little of the classic Disney cartoons (Sleeping Beauty, Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood etc) and I guess that makes sense since they have now been consumed by the Mouse House.
The characters look a little 'How to Train Your Dragon'ee, but then I enjoyed that as well. Really ...
Business Lessons from Innocent Drinks
Online there's loads of blog posts and articles about web development, marketing, copywriting, and graphic design. As a web-designer things like technical knowledge and design skills are very important - but there's not so much about building a successful team environment and making the most of your team.
Business, management and marketing are things I am really interested in. In my day job I lead the web team at Miniclip.com so, besides designing web pages and developing new functionality, I ...
A Day in the Life of a Web Designer
I recently had someone email me and ask what a day in my life, or that of a web designer, was like. A slightly unusual request but I thought I would take up the challenge and document an average day.
I don't mention it very often so I am not sure how many people realise I have a full time job. The websites I run I work on around the day job so I need to be very careful to balance ...
Elemental Hub – New WordPress Blog
Keeping people updated is really important, however for a theme like Elemental is quite hard. The theme is sold on Pro Theme Design, however I don't want to spam the main blog, so what I decided to do was create a separate website with details about the theme.
Elemental Hub, will hopefully become the number 1 source for Elemental news and updates online. To be honest that's not ...
