A little preview of a project I’m helping launch soon. These two – Melissa Savage and Katie Molloy – love discussing movies, and soon they’ll be reviewing them regularly for your listening pleasure on a new podcast: Silver Screen Queens.

Earlier this year, I was involved in putting together a project featuring the amazing Amanda Thorson (pictured). I’m no longer involved, but I had all but finished up artwork for the project, so I thought I’d finish it up as a portfolio piece.
I did an initial sketch in a notebook I keep on me, and after transferring that to Photoshop, I re-sketched, inked, flatted and shaded the illustration there.
If and when this project is launched, please give Amanda your full support. She 100% deserves it.

JELLY GETS POLITICAL ALSO DINOSAURS

Posted 1 month ago

Here in Australia, we’re in the lead up to an election that will occur at the end of the year. It’s a fierce showdown where Labor and Liberal go head to head for the coveted title of Prom Queen, and isn’t complete without a bunch of Greens hanging out in the corner and spiking the punch.

Now, I’m not one to get political. My wife - and pretty much anyone who’s seen my tweets during elections and political events - can tell you that the whole ordeal frustrates me no end. For the first time in a very long time, I’m getting some of the same frustration from the more political people that surround me. People who are frustrated with the way this government is being run and who are sincerely considering voting differently in the approaching election.

With that being said, I would like to offer up a candidate who I think would serve everyone’s interest fairly.

T-Rex.

The Podcast Empire Stikes Back

Posted 3 months ago

So a few months ago I launched my first podcast, Jelly and Bean. Earlier this month I recruited another, Wez Wanders. Today, I launched the third: Mobile Couch. Let me tell you all a little about them.

Jelly and Bean is a podcast about geek stuff. Every Friday, my co-host Branden Maynes and I discuss news about television, movies, games and technology (or anything else we’re interested in, really). We’ve just done our tenth episode and have a great year planned for 2013, including a couple of specials.

Wez Wanders is a fortnightly podcast about travel, hosted by the wonderfully bearded Nathan Brown of the Wez Wanders blog. He talks about travel related news, travel photography and provides handy tips about travelling, and every now and then he throws in an interview with a pal, just to keep things fresh.

The newest podcast in my empire is Mobile Couch, a podcast hosted by Caleb Thorson, Jake MacMullin and myself that deals mostly with development of mobile apps for the iOS platform. The first episode went live today, and despite starting out a little off-topic, provided some great suggestions on starting new development projects. If you’ve ever thought about creating your own app for iOS, then this is a great podcast to listen to, as we’ll be discussing everything from actual development, to designing apps, and right down to dealing with the business side of things. It’s set to be a great show.

I have a number of other plans for new podcasts, and I’m always interested to hear ideas for new shows if you have them. I hope you guys will join me as I expand into new areas and launch this little podcast empire of mine. I promise I won’t build any Death Stars or anything.

Installing PHP Extensions with MAMP

Posted 5 months ago

This last weekend, I decided to knuckle down and build an OAuth server in PHP. One thing that had kept me from doing it until now was that I didn’t have the required extension installed in my development environment.

My development environment is MAMP (not the PRO version), which I’m running on OS X Mountain Lion. The combination made it a little more difficult to install extensions than I would have liked (though I am a bit of a command line n00b, so I guess there’s that).

So both to assist those who come after me, and also to remind me when I have to go through this again, here’s what I did.

Jelly and Bean

Posted 7 months ago

Today, Branden Maynes (@brandroidattack) and I launched the very first episode of our new fortnightly podcast, Jelly and Bean. This is something completely new and different for the both of us, but we’re hoping that as we find our groove (we’re still a little nervous/excited), we’ll also find ourselves amongst your other podcast subscriptions.

We’ve not arrived in the iTunes listing just yet, if can take a little while for that sort of thing to take, but You can subscribe on the iTunes store, subscribe to our RSS feed directly, follow us on Twitter, or like us on Facebook.

Is there anything you’d like us to talk about in our next episode?
