Cultur-e: A sphere shaped quilt

Wow, Uni is over for another Semester. This semester has been pretty full on working on my major project.

The masters I’m studying is in Cross-Disciplinary Art & Design, and so our major project is our own cross-discplinary project. It sounds complicated, but I always explain it to people like this- it’s getting together art and design disciplines (as well as other disciplines) that aren’t usually used together to create awesome new stuff that breaks everyone’s ideas.

The project I’ve decided on deals with how the internet affects culture. For my final piece of Semester 1 (due last night) I did this video explaining an overview of the project. I’d love for you to watch it. There are going to be exciting opportunities for people to be involved later in the year, and next year, with the actual construction of the patchwork piece, so stay tuned!

Oh My Weed!

Here’s a little video on how my garden eh hem, weeds grow.

It is a sad state of affairs when meer months ago my garden was thriving, and now it is a cest pool of cobblers pegs, crazy latching vines, and annoying nut grass. *sigh*.

This footage is *cringe* about two weeks old now, and after I filmed this I did a massive plant up. The good part about that is that the garden is now looking much friendlier and yummy!!

Get rid of ‘blogs I’m following’ from Google Reader

I made this quick little ‘how to’ screencast to show you how to remove that pesky ‘Blogs I’m following’ category from your google reader.

The main reason that I chose to do this was because I wanted to categorise the blogs i follow via the ‘follow’ button on their blogs, in the same way that all my other blogs are categorised.
For me, categorising is an important part of blog reading. It means that I can access my regular reads quickly, and that I can draw inspiration on certain topics easily by browsing the blogs in that category!
