Today I’m starting a new feature that will showcase some of the client work I develop and design. I invite you to have a look and learn more about the client and project as a whole – you just might find something your interested in.
Website: CurraghmoreFarm.com is a website I designed and launched just before the holidays for Mike and Vera Curraghmore and their Waterdown, Ontario based farm dedicated to the high-quality care of race horses:
With select accommodation for an exclusive clientele, the paddocks of Curraghmore Farm are gently nestled within hard-wood tree lines and woodlots on the mineral-rich limestone cap of the Niagara Escarpment. Restricted herd size ensures unquestioned quality management of both mare and foal and contributes to our outstanding success of producing three times the North American average of stakes winners. If you are looking for the perfect farm to raise and care for your equine investment, you have come to the right place.

Though late to post, this past Thursday, the latest James Bond movie title and story have been revealed. Titled Quantum of Solace, the 22nd Bond film continues the story where Casino Royale left off. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Bond and in an interview with the BBC reveals a bit of the plot:
“Ian Fleming had written about relationships,” Craig tells the BBC. “When they go wrong, when there’s nothing left, when the spark has gone, when the fire’s gone out, there’s no quantum of solace.
And at the end of the last movie, Bond has the love of his life [Eva Green’s Vesper Lynd] taken away from him and he never got that quantum of solace. So he’s looking for revenge, you know, to make himself happy with the world again. But it, the title, also alludes to something else in the film,” he added.”
The release date is set for November 7th … my calendar is now booked for that day.

Steve, Steve, Steve! How could you? We are the ones who MADE you the man today at the helm of our beloved Apple by believing in you and all that Apple and its products stand for. But to turn like this on your fans, and even worse, one of your most famours iTunes based podcast bloggers? Even worse is you have your VP of Worldwide Communication Katie Cotton laughing and Senior VP Philip Schiller also just idly standing by. Would a picture really killed you? For shame Steve, for shame!
Snippet from Violet Blue’s blog tiny nibbles …
“… So, I saw that Steve Jobs was just hanging out on the Macworld expo floor, not in conversation, not talking to anyone, and poking at his phone in the middle of the public so I walked over. Thinking a girl — in this case, a fangirl, me — will never get anything if she doesn’t ask for it, I lightly touched his arm and said “hi”. He looked at me, and I blushingly asked if it would be okay for me to ask if I could take a picture with him. I didn’t say my name or anything else, I was just a girl. He told me curtly, flatly that I was rude. And turned his back to me. The small circle of people around him sniggered. That woman you see actually snort-laughed at me, and rolled her eyes.
I walked two steps away and stopped to take this picture of his back; then I was instantly filmed and livestreamed by Robert Scoble. Watch my reaction in the video, “Violet Blue Gets Told Off by Steve Jobs” is embedded after the jump, or you can click it here.
It’s not a happy feeling to have been the poster child for iTunes podcasts for so long (I still hit the top ten, yo) — even famously when it launched — and be humiliated like that. Steve Wozniak was so much nicer.
That’s the first time I’ve ever “fangirled” anyone. And it’ll be my last.“

A wha?, originally uploaded by savagelettuce.
January 8th is the day I share my birthday with famous celebrities like Elvis Presley and David Bowie – pretty cool company to be with don’t you think?
With the thaw comes the chance to run outdoors – and its been since November so my pace was off but it felt so good to get back out there! Riding the bike indoors is good and all but I don’t get the same cardio workout as I do running – and even better was the scenic foggy effects lingering under your feet creating an almost dream like feel while running through the park.
I hope this thaw lasts for a bit and I can squeeze in a few more runs. Otherwise I might have to take a friends advice and invest in a treadmill.
