Here are 20 must own gifts and gadgets for all geeks to wish for this Christmas. I’ve got the Ariel Atom on my list as it’s friggin awesome, maybe asking for too much though!
I had the idea of doing a photography project where I take a picture of my face everyday for a year, slap it into a video and animate how it changes across the length of the year. That was until I came across this video where this guy did the same thing, only across 8 years! 8 years! I mean seriously, WTF! Enjoy!
WOW what a weekend! I traveled through to Scarborough to see my little girl as usual this weekend and was ecstatic to be greeted by 6 inches of snow to play in. Weirdly on the way I didn’t see a single flake until I hit Malton, about 15 miles outside of Scarborough. The fields slowly started to gradiate from green to white as I drove further and further into the wintery wonderland. I thought I’d share some snaps for those who weren’t lucky enough to see any snow.
What a lovely weekend, the snow is worth the wait, especially when it comes in such a quantity 
Following on from the 9xb digital staff portraits, new starter Gyles Seward has had his very own created. After suffering hours of digital torcher in Frog’s special Frankenstein-esk Lab this hideous creation appeared.
See this in action on the 9xb site.
A few months ago I got approached by a contact of mine to see if I was interested in getting involved in a project they were starting. After a very productive meeting, a certain FROG leaped away extremely excited by the prospect of spear heading the complete brand design of this new venture.
The aim of the project is to deliver a revolutionary global website aimed at taking the housing market by storm. The website will be aimed specifically at private home sellers, offering them an opportunity to miss out the middleman (the dreaded estate agent) and potentially save themselves thousands in agents commission fees. We aim to offer the service completely FREE to help direct the housing market in a new direction.
The unique selling point of the website is that it’s targeting the complete housing chain, from those searching for a room to rent, to those wanting to sell their English Country Estate. Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, Renters, Room searchers and those offering a spare room, www.bethemiddleman.com is for you.
Www.bethemiddleman.com currently has a holding page up detailing, in summary, the new service they are offering and inviting people to signup and be first in line to use the new website when it’s launched.
Anyway, enough selling of it, it’s exciting times not just for me, but for the housing market. It’s was only a couple of weeks or so before this started that we were talking about how bad the current websites were out there and how a lot of people still don’t know about the options they have for selling privately. I’ve been lucky enough to experience first hand the complete property chain cycle, I’ve bought, renovated, and sold a few houses in the past, I have rented a number of times, I’ve been a landlord (still am come to think of it), rented a room and even let a room. I know first hand that there isn’t a single website out there that offers me a complete service, a one stop shop for everything housing. Well now there is!
The site will be fun, light and easy to use, and as I’m feeling ecstatic at the moment I’m even going to show you a few screenshots (Rough draft versions but a taster none the less).
