Azul Imagery

[UPDATE] 4/4/2005

The image 'Steel Cubes' has been updated with a much higher quality and slightly improved version. Enjoy.

[END UPDATE]

OK, the first step is taken, you can now see two of my images on the home page of Cuadrado Azul!

I'd be interested to see what people think of these. As I said though, this but a first step, there will be many more (images and steps) along the way!

I have three designers that have been discussing the idea of joining this collective, all with very different styles and ideas. Hopefully their pages will join the site soon.

Cheers m'dears

Mini Problem

My lovely little car, a Mini Cooper S had a problem...

On sunday after driving it for about twenty miles home from Karen's sister's house the gear shift was really stiff and making a lot of squeaking. We got home OK but on Monday the garage we bought it from decided to tow it away as they didn't consider it was safe to drive! eeek.

Turns out the gear linkage (for the unitiated the bit that links the gearstick to the gearbox) had now lubricant (oooer). So, a load of lube later and some excercising of the linkage and everything was good again... whew.

So, Rincewind (He likes to run away from things) is back on the road again....

Games, everywhere I go... EVERYWHERE.. Ha hAaaa

Ok, calm down... nope can't...

Well first I wasn't then maybe I will then, wow, oh my god, I have one the small but oh so mighty PSP!

What's a PSP... where have you been you ... <slap> deep breath x2 OK better now.

All that is basically leading into the fact that Ihave had a very exciting day. I managed to get hold of the new shiny game system from Sony, the Playstation Portable. Along with Ridge Racer, Lumines (and some others).

This system is impressive, the games are almost Playstation 2 quality on the size of something akin to a PDA. You can slip it into your coat pocket (certainly not into your jeans though!) and play games everywhere. You can play music on it (dunno why the iPod is much better at it) and you can watch movies on it (errm the screen is only 4 inches - movies errm no, stick to my laptop for that) and view your photos (ok, but my laptop is much better for that too).

But my gracious the games.... forget GameBoys/Advances/DS's worthless honestly.. real games..racing around cities at 100mph GAMES!!!!! oh no I'ts here again... deep breaths... deep nooooo it's no good I've gotta PLAY...

hee hhaa everywhere.... really anywhere!!!

First Post!

OK - Cuadrado Azul has appeared.... but what is it? Well that is a good question, and one that I don't really know the answer to yet.

Firstly the name - Cuadrado Azul - Blue Square in spanish, that's it, nothing more complex than that. I like the words and that was enough.

Secondly, it's primary role is to create a place where I could put some graphics up that were not necessarily to do with my company, Pyramid Developments then I thought that it would be cool if the designer friends I have made over the years could also do the same.... and maybe it will, you'll just have to wait and see wont you ;o)

This blog is for those that have even a passing interest in what I'm up to to find out! To comment, praise, abuse or ignore the posts as you see fit.

Anyway, here we are and here we'll play... come in and join me, it really isn't that bad.
