The guys over at U2Star.com have created an online TV channel dedicated to U2, it has rotating content all day, and is in its infancy so are developing new content all the time. 

Hopefully you can see it above. I imagine my wife will be very happy about this, as she can now watch Bono on demand!

Just wanted to raise this post I was reading this morning on Graphic Design Blog. It reminds us that when designing stuff, the initial stages when you are developing your ideas should be done the old fashioned way. Pen and paper. Its been along time since I actually did pick up a pen and paper, I tend to go straight into Illustrator if its a logo I’m designing.

Having read this article, on my next project I will pencil some ideas down first and see if it takes me down a different route.

Well we’ve just waved good bye to my sis and fella. We’ve just had a week of learning and playing at being good skiers at the Chill Factore, Manchester. Well Bex (my wife) and Andy (my sister Lisa’s fella) are pretty good, having been skiing for a number of years. My and Lisa however have just started. We had a 50 minute lesson last week, and then the day after went on the main slope. Suprisingly we didn’t fall, and controlled our speed pretty well. Andy did wipe out spectacularly, but we won’t go into details.

Please see below evidence of Bex and Andy flying down, and Lisa’s more sedate run.

Anyway, we went again yesterday (Monday 3rd March) and I decided to progress into parallel skiing. This increased the frequency of wipeouts 100%, but also I think I was progressing fairly well, going to the top of the slope at the end and not falling. Whilst Lisa continued to steadily gain confidence, without falling still, she’s definately due a big wipeout. The evening before Bex and Andy had been on YouTube watching Carving Tips by Bode Miller, and others and were trying to put that into action.

They even hired better ski’s, which we found out later that Andy had been using competition spec skis worth almost £700. He didn’t think he could feel £400 worth of difference but you never know really.

Anyway Lisa and Andy travelled back to the Isle of Wight today, not before I got a phone call at work off Lisa, explaining that they’d returned to the Chill Factore once more, Andy, desperate for one final fix before the drive home…
