I'm going to be posting in regard to my interests and projects. So far I've posted 2 items - one on a thumbnailing web app I'm working on, and this one. My web development job heavily involves me with the ins/outs of Google, and found their new icon quite surprising, compared with the much blander previous ones. I have no financial incentives in this blog, it's just my personal project. Thats a bit harsh! I’m going to be posting in regard to my interests and projects.
