Adding to my want list, Valliciergo. A gorgeous copperplate with so many alternates and pretty ligatures. Useful to inspire my own calligraphy, of course…

My sister turned 21 in August. The night before her party was still with no moon and beautiful bright stars. This is a 30 sec exposure of she and I out on the hilltop in front of our home in Coromandel. The lights in the distance are to the west, Auckland city.

Fell down a tumblr hole
And lost a few hours. It’s been awhile! My head has been giving me trouble for eight weeks now, so I’m hoping it will behave for a long weekend in Wellington this weekend. I wonder if it’s still tights, boots and leather jacket weather down there? There will be Dreams discussed and Plots formed so … Continue reading “Fell down a tumblr hole”

In defence of email signatures
My contacts are at best, disorganised. An automatic email signature, in plain text, which lists direct dial and alternate phone numbers, alongside the position and company of the sender is my first port of call when my contacts list fails me. Perhaps a little more information than that. I disagree with an email signature which … Continue reading “In defence of email signatures”

I’ve been so slack in posting pictures since my trip! But tonight I’m very proud of my efforts. Two hours spent on these My Little Pony themed nails. My left hand is Rainbow Dash, and my right hand is Twilight Sparkle. I just happened to have all the right colours to pull this off! Thanks … Continue reading “”

Selwyn College’s Community Education courses include “Photography and the Darkroom”, so I’ve spent the last five Monday nights there making picture magic. This week, I took along the 3A Autographic Kodak Special. I’ve worked out how the camera functions, and that the shutter speed and aperture settings do seem to work (though I haven’t measured … Continue reading “”

This picture machine has been in my dad’s garage for at least 30 years, he can’t remember how it came to him, but now it’s come to me. It’s a 3A Autographic Kodak Special Model B. Kodak’s first rangefinder camera, the “Autographic” means that when Autographic film was used with it, the photographer could open … Continue reading “”

One day, hopefully soon, it will be a whole pile easier to play any media on any device. Until then, there are devices and drives and cables and wireless and applications galore. Because it’s not easy, and because there is more than one way to skin this particular proverbial, I find myself frequently describing how … Continue reading “”

Actually really love this concept for Apple’s 1986 Mac OS on the iPhone. Sometimes you just want to LOSE ALL THE SHINY GRADIENTS.

Knit another owl friend, this one’s for Nicki. I’m quite fond of him! Knitting without a pattern is pretty liberating, and I love how these critters all have such personality.

This little guy came into being with no pattern, and I hadn’t had my needles out in months and months and months. Pretty proud of him! He’s for my mum, who’s going away on holiday for a couple of weeks and will miss her bird (who I’m birdsitting). This little chap can join her on … Continue reading “”

How to scrobble to Last.fm from your NZ iPhone
The Last.fm iPhone app isn’t available available in New Zealand (even for subscribers!), no doubt due to sticky licensing drama. In fact, unless you’re in the US, UK or Germany you’re out of luck. Even though I can’t change my blasted username, I like to scrobble what I listen to – so I can track … Continue reading “How to scrobble to Last.fm from your NZ iPhone”
