Take your best shot...



This shot was taken in my aunties back garden with my Sony Ericsson K750i.
I got so fed up a few weeks back with throwing my Motorola MPx200 against the wall in frustration that a new phone had to be chosen, and I'm glad I chose the Sony. Not only is it great for taking impromptu photos (with a flash if necessary), it can also shoot videos, has a radio, MP3 player, a torch, PIM functionality (which I use constantly as I have no brain), the obligitary JAVA games, BUT, most amazingly, by pressing the buttons in certain combinations you can call up other people who have similar devices and speak to them as if they were really there.

NB: previous blog photos taken with the Sony include "Slow Down"

Absolute Freedom of Movement


The subject of Free Running or Parkour came up during a chinwag with Taoski, prompting a surf to the following site that pretty much covers the fundamentals if you were wanting to learn said discipline. Looks like fun.

Slow Down


This is at the corner of my road, cars approach from the right around a blind bend and it's always a case of fingers crossed when pulling out. Any cars that are above the 30mph speed limit have to slam on their brakes. Any cars that are well over 30mph end up like this:

Sure is a mighty chew

Due to massive demand (Taoski said he liked them in response to my Whatever happened to Space Dust blog) for the relaunch of the Texan bar, Nestle have relented. Confirmed sighting at Texaco garage, Essex Road, London.

Got Moloko?

Some more animals up next, of a bovine nature. The first "cow" was chained up next to a path I had to walk down, and it was mooing at me, it was very big and very scary.


The second "herd" were grazing just outside The Kremlin, thankfully these were of a more gentile nature.

Fall Out

I'm back from my brief jaunt in Russia, so I'll be blogging some of the photos I took whilst I was out there. First up is this rather strange fly that I happened across whilst at Gorki Leninskie. It must have been affected by Chernobyl as it has TWO sets of wings!

Anyone know what species it is?

White Boy Blog

Here's my effort at making a header logo for WhiteBoyBob's blog.

I'm quite happy with the results, exactly as I planned!
