Cool Flash Statistics Site?

I can't work out what this site actually is or does, but it's got my attention and it opens with a lovely visual STATISTIC. Awesome.

Coffee Blog!

I've made a new blog for the coffee thing, strictly dedicated to my caffeine life.



Follow the adventures of someone who is monitoring their caffeine intake.

The Coffee Experiment

Today we got the brief for the project we will be working on for the next couple of months. We've got to come up with a flash animation based on some kind of statistic, so I've chosen the theme of caffeine related facts.
First Facts from my research:
-80% of adult American's caffeine intake comes from coffee
-The average intake of caffeine for an adult in the US is 280 mg, about 3 cups of coffee a day
-In Britain we sip 196,000,000 cups of tea a day


I guess for the lolz, I though I would do a little experiment to go along with my not so reliable facts. Starting from today, I'm going to monitor my own caffeine intake, along with little bits of info like my tea to coffee ratio.

I make to time 15:41- today I have consumed 2 mugs of instant coffee.

My Blog Is Boring

My blog is really boring, that's why I'm typing up a 1000 word essay right now!

Atleast I have the crap I've written here to remind me of all the negative thoughts I've had along the way. 74 words left and I don't know what to say...Help me blog! I've got planning, reflection and development AND it's pretty personal. What is there left to say?

Look What I Found!

Not getting any ideas for Neil's visual equations project. I think I'm a step further to getting some ideas though. This could really put my illustrator skills to the test...

I love stuff like this. Yeah it's a simple t-shirt design, but its a juxtaposition right? I think with the theme of opposites in mind this could make a good little series.

The WHOLE Monday

Everyone's so panicky about the deadline in just over 2 weeks. Me, I'm actually happy because today for the first time Dr Anna spoke to me like she didn't hate me for fun!

I think my sketchbook is coming on well, so I don't really need to panic yet. It's more about the quality than the quantity...especially when it comes to my research! That will always be my epic fail. Oh yeah and the lack of evidence of progress. My attitude is more of a "yeah that will do". No need to progress!

It's getting cold and I need a coat.
