Quick Tip: LittleSnapper library synchronization
I’ve been using LittleSnapper for a while now, it’s a great little app for keeping a library of screenshots and inspiration on the web. I find myself using it everyday as I surf the web, and as a designer it’s become an invaluable resource to me.
One of it’s failings (for now, anyway) is that there is no method for synchronizing between computers. Why is this an issue? Well, in my case I use LittleSnapper both at home and at work and I would like to keep one comprehensive library between the two…

South Africa Roundup
Last week I returned home from a 2 week trip to South Africa. It was my first time to Africa, so I was very much looking forward to it. As I wrote earlier, the main purpose of the trip was for a wedding but I made the most of it and did a lot of sightseeing while I was there.

Wedding in South Africa
I’m leaving today for a two-week trip to South Africa to see my sister get married. Very excited!
It’s my first time to South Africa, first time in Africa even. Actually, it’s my first time travelling to the Southern Hemisphere. I’ll have to remember to check if the toilet flushes anti-clockwise. I’ll add that to my to-do list. I have a whole itinerary of things to do so it’ll be an action packed two weeks.
Wedding
The main reason I’m going is obviously for my sister Sarah’s wedding…

My Trip to Paris – Part 1
I’ve just returned from 10 great days in Paris, France. Lots to talk about, so rather than write an exhaustive article on the whole trip in one go I’ve decided to split this into a 3 part mini-series. Three articles, three days. Here’s what to expect:
Part One: The first three days in Paris
BBQ, getting ripped off and a giant beer.
Part Two: Days Four to Six
Finding the elusive Georges Pompidou, world’s most energetic dog and meeting the French Mr Bean…
