Adam Savage's recent Maker Faire talk was good, but the Q and A session that followed was even better. One question in-particular - and his response - really got me. 'How do you keep inspired when people are denigrating your work?'
I have a great domain name, really it doesn’t get much simpler, it’s my first name. I know it’s great because I keep getting ‘offers’ from people wanting to buy it off me. It’s not for sale, and here's why.
The legalisation of same sex marriages would have no impact on my life. And that is exactly the point that I wish more people would understand.

For the past three or so years I have spent much of my "spare time" designing and developing iOS apps. I wasn't building apps to make money, I was building them to learn. For a long while that was enough, but the enjoyment vanished, and it is now close to five months since I last opened Xcode. Time to change a couple of things.
Just as most expected would happen following Manchester City's purchase of the club in January, the Melbourne Heart are now officially Melbourne City FC. Along with the new name, they've also revealed their new logo and kit. The new logo is ok, but there are a few things I'd like to change.
