Swans!

How sweet; baby swans are grey and become whiter as they mature.

They look so fluffy, aww.

The Musical Tube

Sitting on the tube right now. 8 out of 10 people around me have earphones in plugged into mp3 players or phones (me included).
I like to imagine 70 years ago there being a gramophone in the corner of the old trains where everyone had to fight over it to decide what music was playing.
We really are a wired generation...

Photo Editing - What A Fun Thing To Do On A Saturday Night!

The weekend begins with a nice little photo editing job I am doing for a good friend, on the promotional shots of a product he hopes to be introducing to the student market! It is a large bag that contains all the basic equipment for a student making the transition from home to university (kitchenware, bedroom stuff etc).

I have done some shots for him myself...







 and now I have more photos of the updated prototype to edit.

For anyone starting university soon without a clue where to start buying all kitchen cutlery, bed linen, study equipment - have a look at Uni Sak!! It doubles up as a dirty laundry bag once empty too :)

And so I continue with my editing... narrowed down 397 raw shots to the 62 best!!
Thank goodness for the creation of music to aid the monotony of photograph level/colour correction.

Annoyance Of The Week

This is why I hate Windows OS.

Photobucket

Then it tried to tell me that 'Windows Explorer.exe has a virus and is being blocked by Windows Firewall'.

Oh great, Windows is blocking itself.

Photobucket

Clicking 'Yes' caused The Blue Screen Of Death (see first image above), clicking 'No' resulted in another security dialogue appearing (see second image above for infinite amount of alerts).

Pfft.

Test mobile upload!

And here is me testing the email mobile upload feature of this blog, with a delightful picture of my Honda Hornet 600.

This is being sent from my Blackberry Bold 9700, I'm sure my old iPhone could do the same, but at least I get a lot less spelling errors!!

Let's see if this works..

------------------

EDIT: It does work!! :D

Gotta love when technology actually does what you want it to. I feel a strong sense that many more blog posts will be sent from my phone... many thoughts or discoveries I come across on a daily basis are when I'm nowhere near a computer.

A lot of my thinking time comes when I'm riding my motorbike (see above!), many revelations or humourous thoughts come to mind during this time.

Adopt Everything - First!

First!!!



Isn't that the usual comment on an fresh, unadulterated piece of internet meat? I believe it is, yes.

Well this is my blog which I hope to update regularly, after seeing many other people doing the same this is now my chance to put my thoughts onto the digital realm of the Internet.

I hope to post my thoughts on all things I find out an about that are interesting, thought-provoking, humourous or just stupid (in a good way, of course).

The name of the blog - Adopt Everything - comes from my own existence in this world. This will be further explained in future writings :)

thanks for stopping by!
