not really about there being terrorists in texas, but a 3D work by a student from texas. Check it out - rather cool!

3D Design: Exercise 2

This is our second exercise in packaging class. We had to choose an article or ad from a magazine. Then take that article or ad and translate it into a package using the existing information and graphics.

The Shape of Days is a US blog that I occasionally visit. Recently the site’s owner Jeff commented on the forecasted budget for 2006. This is my response:

Can’t agree more with you on either issue. Australia has seen the continual attack of Public Education and subsequent systems adopted that encourage parents to adopt for the high(er) fee private schools. Public education provides a bedrock for any society that wishes to be secular - since the mantra of such a system is inclusive rather than exclusive.

On the National Parks, this is an issue that many simple economists will be congratulating openly. Those, however, with more insight, will see that the positive externalities (or benefits) that a string of National Parks can provide to a community and nation are often those which are never accounted for in traditional business model economics that tend to drive a ‘market system’.

Perhaps what could be put on the backburner for some time is some of the R+D undertaken by the military… Just a thought ;)

Hmmm… Bored…

Hmmm… Well, i’m on the bus home after a riveting lecture on building services. Seeing how well wordpress can work with the nokia browser on my 6230…

Anyhow, this hasn’t been my only procrastination for the day. Been updating my mates band’s site - the lyrical madmen - so check it out he you’re avoiding studying like me.

Browing over at photosig.com I ran across a photography by the name of Marc - all I can say is that there’s some things that digital can’t yet truly replicate… and that is Velvia film.

Check his stuff out at either:
