enjoying some piano class:
This blog entry couldn’t have come at a better or more appropriate time!
With the knowledge of moving back to Queensland, air-conditioning or a form of cooling-off, was high on the renovation agenda.
Dyson in their brilliant engineering genius (yes you know it) have designed a new take on the household fan and what a beauty it is! The fan uses suction and acceleration, rather than rotating blades, to whoosh air to you and throughout your space!
If is works any more brilliantly than my lovely purple vaccum Dyson, then count me, I’ll be there waiting in line on Wednesday!
Small - $379
Large - $399
Maybe not the most interesting of websites (or blogs for that matter) and it doesn’t ooz positivity but from a usability perspective but this guy is on the money!

You do not NEED a flash homepage to draw attention to your website and you won’t look ‘cool’ if you have one.
I have talk to clients endlessly about this… think about the objective of your website first and ask yourself, who are your target audience? I bet you 9 times out of 10 you’re website strategy doesn’t need one… and no, including a flash intro to make it ‘look pretty’ is not a valid reason.
All in all there are more and more websites these days, giving you the option to skip the flash intro on their homepage, which is great, but it would be better to see away with the skip button all together and just get to the content. I mean this is why your users land on your homepage in the first place!
