NonStop

Recently I entered a national competition run by Vibewire, “…a project of non-profit youth media and arts organisation Vibewire Inc and is designed to provide young Australians with a forum where they can comment on matters pertinent to their lives.”

The competition was to raise awareness to the Victorian Government establishing a Charter of Human Rights, a first for Australian states. What’s more, I was lucky enough to take 1st place with my entry ‘Human Rights Are More Than Just Words’ being printed and distributed by Avant Card, and also scored free tix to Semi Permanent 2009 and a subscription to Empty Magazine!

Stay tuned over the next week, as I try and upload some new work to the Portfolio.

I’ve done a lot more personal work, and even won a national competition about Human Rights, so that’s a plus!

And what’s more, I’m finally going to enable comments on all posts / pages through out the site, and maybe even rework the site’s theme overall…

Sooooon.

Like every blog on the ‘internets’, I couldn’t help but mention Google’s new browser, Chrome. I’m a little pissed it’s not available for Mac just yet – seems kinda lame to me…

Anyway, for more info (albeit slightly geared towards nerdier types) about Chrome, check out the introductory comic, drawn by Scott McCloud.

Without sounding too dramatic, I really hope Google’s effort to shake up the way we access the internet works. Kudos to them.

I’ve only really just started using Chrome, at the moment, but I’ll post my verdict on it later.

It’s awesome to see when people get a simple idea, and make something that just works, visually.

Plus, kudos for choosing MGMT as a soundtrack.
