Hello World!
I’ve been slow getting around to this, but I’ve been having a look at the Papervision 3D library, and how to incorporate it into Flex. Here’s my first sample..
It’s been interesting to learn how to create the wireframes and 3D objects. I’m looking forward to learning more about it and seeing what I can come up with.

the book store - recently read
I have been getting back into my reading with a new found enjoyment, all thanks to CC, who has been amazing at suggesting some books that I would never normally have read (Empress Orchid, anything by Mitch Albom, and Alan Bennett in particular)
Below are a few of the books I have finished recently. This week alone witnessed the page-turning end of “Friends Like These” (fantastically funny), “The Uncommon Reader” (my first Bennett book), and “Tuesday’s With Morrie”. I would highly recommend these to anyone.

Step 1 - regain health and quit the sticks
It has begun.
I’ve written a list. A list of things I would like to achieve before I turn 30, and I have started to work on some of the items on the list. The most obvious one, which kind of has an impact on everything else on the list, is to stop smoking.
Financially, quitting would mean that there would be approx an extra £150+ per month spending money. That’s £150+ that could be used towards travel, equipment, bills, paying off debts, savings, car… anything else other than cigarettes.
In regards to my health, it’s the most obvious step forward. Cut out the one thing that is 100% killing me. It’s stupid. I’m not preaching, I’ve smoked on and off for over 10 years now (more on than off, sadly), but why..
WHY do something that you know kills you..?
I had quite before, and for almost three years I felt the healthiest I ever had in my life. I was going to the gym three+ times a week, circuit training, running 15km a week, yoga, body combat classes, swimming. I know the benefits of stopping, but equally I know how difficult it is to stop.
After a rocky weekend of on-off smoking, yesterday I took the plunge, and am focusing on quitting 100%. No half-deals, no “rewards” of a smoke at the end of the day. Full-on quitting. It’s one step closer to the aim of improving life, and the well-being of not only me but others around me.
Bring it on. I’m ready.

Clever Live Pod…
Tomorrow (Friday 5th September) at 8pm GMT BST heralds a new era in British Podcasting with a live version of my favourite podcast, Clever Little Pod.
I’m really looking forward to watching the show live. It’s always full of great comedy and some fantastic podsafe tunes. The live show may bring a few surprises as well, and I’m hoping that (sorry Gary) a few minor ‘gaffs’ along the way will add to the entertainment.
It’s such a great venture and an exciting project, so I hope everyone will log on to www.cleverlittlepod.com tomorrow night at 8pm GMT BST to enjoy the show.
