Sometimes every now and again something unique comes along! Well I received a Coffee card- a one of kind completely unique card painted by an artist in acrylic and you guessed it COFFEE (now I'm not sure whether the artist actually used Blend 43 but it was coffee) and it smells of..you guessed it COFFEE these make a wonderful gift for coffee loving friends- they are painted on archival artist card! They can be seen at the Salamanca Market in Hobart, Tasmania....or if anyone is wanting to get a set (each card unique!) then please leave a comment here and I can arrange something I am sure :)
The photo does NOT do the texture and awesome-ness of this card justice! You have to see and smell one for yourself! Limited editions people.........

Webhosting

noreply@blogger.com (Slender Octopus) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:43:00 +0000

Lately alot of people have been asking me for recommendations regarding hosting a website. If you google website hosting you will be met with a zillion options for website hosting.
Alot of people opt to go for the cheapest deal available and forget about few things like (but not limited to!)
1.Customer service
2.Uptime and downtime duration
3.Location of host service
4.Plan restrictions
5. Site management tools, shopping cart options etc etc.

Of course you have to decide for yourselves how important each of these (and any other factors) are to you and or to your business if you have one.

Unlike alot of other people I wanted my webhosting service to be based in Australia (for a range of reasons).
In the end I went with Digital Pacific and I completely recommend them - their customer service is excellent- their uptime is fantastic and the downtime is scheduled appropriately (and you are always informed prior).

Ask questions of others about their hosting- choose wisely :)

Poem.

The Girl Took Poison.

There must be lot's of them
little statements stamped official
"the girl for some reason or other took poison"

Some reason or other?
Other?

"Some reason" said like an off cuff remark
because official can't fathom it
because
life continues
casts only a quick shadow on the dead.

As for the other, it's a Pandora's box
with a sticky lid and a rusty hinge
of course it's different now.

I digress; the girl took poison
it's official
there's a statement
took poison
like a little one takes their first food
or a drunk tossing the glass back
or a surgeon making a fine mark with their knife
of course its different now.

we have lights and fanfare
we have experts and specialists
statistics to tantalise

Oh but yes, your fingers are sticky;
lick them clean in the dark
taste
and then the
aftertaste
lingers.

noreply@blogger.com (Slender Octopus) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:34:00 +0000

that I have had nothing to say- just been mega busy.....with my family, photography business and I don't even know what !

So Puerile Productions (remember them??) vile -in the best way imaginable have a new project....hot on the trail of their short film that has already played in Melbourne as part of Trasharama.....this time a number of film makers are given scripts- without giving anything away there's a common something in all films. We get to do with the script what we want and shoot the film and it then becomes part of a horrific terrific whole!

I haven't started filming mine yet but I have been half thinking about how to do it...plus I gave them the title for the series...:)

Vomit is the new BLACK!

noreply@blogger.com (Slender Octopus) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:42:00 +0000

A month ago or so I was chatting to a friend online and she was lamenting that her baby had thrown up on her...she is a first time mum and I rather flippantly said "Vomit is the new black!" as in get used to it...I was telling my husband how I should print a tshirt with that as the slogan.

I have designed and printed tshirts before....with a slogan that no one understands...but that's a whole other story.

Anyway a few weeks back at my daughters tennis class- my son puked on my jeans- one of the other mums commented how you get used to being vomited on..and I said look as far as I'm concerned Vomit is the new Black....as these parents all had children- they could appreciate it.

One dad even said "you should market that"!

Yeah well it's not such a silly idea....people paid extra for "ripped" jeans...

So who is for taking the fashion world by storm....

Some reasons why vomit is the new black...

It's original!

It's organic!

It's easily replenished!

Colour co-ordinates with everything!

Numerous variations!

I see the Tshirt in two designs....the first would be a black tshirt with the slogan "Vomit is the new Black" on it....with enough space for your kidlets to vomit everywhere/anywhere on it.

The second would be the tshirt and slogan with predesigned vomit splots to inspire your child to make their own mark so to speak....(as if they need any help!)

Mum's could wear them with pride- instead of apologising "excuse my top D just vomitted on it"...it could become a trend....and instead of reading tea leaves...read vomit stains..."oooh this looks like a bike maybe little gordon is trying to tell us something" (yeah he is but it's probably more along the lines of " I'm finding things hard to stomach" rather than "I'd love a new trike"...)

Ok..I'll slink back quietly away....

but if anyone wants a tshirt just email me....

ok.....ok....I'm going.
