Dorset Freelance Website Design and Development
Dorset Broadband debacle and TalkTalk Pro.
I’m a hater of BT, Ill admit. Everything or anything I have had the misfortune to have done by them – usually because they were sole providers and therefore able to block anyone else from offering the service – has been totally shite ( to use a technical term ). If like me you are [...]

Earthscapes – Geology and Geography ( Bridport )
I went to the bodyscapes exhibition in Weymouth, and the calibre of the work was exceptional for Dorset especially the more rural areas like Weymouth. I trust the Bridport exhibition will be no less inspiring.Sherbourne House website

Top Gun ( 1986 ) ( Blu-ray )
Well what can I say – this is probably one of the most secret indulgences I have. Say what you like about Tom Cruise, he is without a shadow of a doubt one of the few proper films stars. His credentials are sealed in films like this, before he had surgery allegedly etc etc – [...]

Magnolia ( 1999 ) ( Blu-ray )
Again this is bordering on kitchen sink drama, and in many ways makes no sense as an HD film. But this I guess is really what separates good film making from pedestrian. This really is a great film – and massively underrated. All star cast – Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H Macy and [...]

In Bruges ( 2008 ) ( Blu-ray )
I had no intentions of seeing this for several reasons. Film 4 is very hit and miss. Colin Farrel is a pretty second rate Brad Pitt. Bruges – is as the film points out very twee – not my idea of a good start. Ive got to say that I was totally wrong about this [...]

Architectural details, Papervision3D and AS3
Can anything really be called state of the art without someone saying – oh yeah if you look here there doing this. Im not sure, but this seems pretty extreme web content to me.http://ark-plus.comThe site is made using a combination of Papervision3D, AS 3 and good old HTML. There is an amazing amount that can [...]

Flavors.me
Great site thats illustrates how simple is best.http://flavors.me/louiscoxThe idea is restricting the choice makes for more creativity, Mac style. The site offers a very limited layout for your content, Choice of Fonts, colours etc, but your free to add whatever content you like from all the social sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. This is all [...]

Pandorum ( Blu-ray ) ( 2009 )
Not bad. A little awkward in places, but overall worth watching. It starts much like the Cube, if anyone can remember that, kind of survival horror. One guy finds himself in a room on a spaceship and tries to find out what is going on. Hes disorientated and unable to speak to anyone else about [...]

Whiteout ( Blu-ray ) ( 2009 )
I had high hopes for this. Most of the ingredients were there, for what should have been a brilliant film. Beckinsale, not really an inspired choice. You just can’t imagine her being in the South Antarctic, fighting for her life. Her nearly romantic opposite was similarly weak. Skerritt, who played the doctor is a good [...]
