The
English Guy
Web Design

Most companies can handle a bit of criticism - after all, not everyone is going to like every single thing you do. I used to use Netscape’s browser for example, but got turned off sometime after Communicator. I used to wear only Puma sneakers when I was younger, but eventually grew to dislike the direction [...]

You think that modern art is funky, out-of-touch, too abstract and perhaps just plain weird? Take a look at this guy, he has made an art form out of balancing rocks. Personally I find something very soothing over rock gardens and the like, and somehow, his rock balancing does seem very peaceful in a sense.

I wrote about this Port Orange guy this morning on Balanced News Blog. I’d actually heard about it on a news snippet yesterday and thought nothing of it, then saw it on Fark this morning and followed to the article.
It boggles my mind, I mean seriously, flabbergasted (god I love that word) beyond belief. How [...]

I was sat here thinking about New Years Resolutions, and how basically I have few vices left to give up (let alone WANTING to give up). I gave up smoking several years ago now, after seeing a friend of mine on the post-op table. I gave up drinking (heavily) a while back now, actually when [...]

The old style Jeep, the M151, successor to the WW2 “jeep” that were manufactured in such mass quantities, was relegated to junk status many years ago with the adoption of the HMMWV, the “Humvee” in 1985.
According to CNN Money, the Marine Corps. has contracted for over 400 new vehicles called the “Growler”. This is essentially [...]

I was surfing around this afternoon and I found this little trinket, a webpage dedicated to telling you about bananas and their healthy effects, here’s just a few:

PMS:  Forget the pills - eat a banana.  The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Nerves:  Bananas are high in B vitamins that [...]

I have finally finished updating my blogs to WordPress 2.0. So far so good. I had one slight problem with What’s Hot, but it seems to have worked out just fine, with a little help from the WordPress Support Forums.
And speaking of What’s Hot! I have just finished up the new theme for the site [...]

It’s been a hopelessly quiet Christmas this year. But I think I like them, the ones where you sit and veg and do nothing. There wasn’t much on on the film front but enough to keep me occupied, and I watched the second Zorro movie (it was predictably sucky).
Anyway, for your Christmas entertainment, you should [...]

My fondest memories of Christmas come from childhood, racing down the stairs one Christmas morning to see it blanketed with snow outside and to find a brand new sled in the living room! How had Santa known?! What a Christmas that was. Unfortunately there were no hills around and I couldn’t go sledding but hey [...]

I have to tell you, for me at least, the physical, visual cues that a woman is a woman, is my first step. Like most red-blooded males, I like to know I’m dating a woman, and not just what passes for one. That ISN’T the case for Tamer Shehata, an Egyptian man, who found out [...]
