So, we’ve moved to Narrabeen. The warmer weather and the beautiful outlook make it easy to go walking, running, swimming and riding often. I often take Sam for a walk early in the morning to give Row a sleep in. Below are some pics in my 3photo series from a recent early morning adventure. (I’ve just subscribed to the daily photo email from Manly-based photo crew saltmotion.com – check them out, much better than mine!)

Michael Snowdon, a mate from college, has a made a great video entered in this year’s Ignite Film Festival: BLINDNESS. It also stars another friend from college, Dan Morris.
If you like it, you can help him win the People’s Choice Award. Here’s how:
Peaceout.
Hands up for some creative musical pastichery*? Then check out www.inbflat.net, a collaborative music/spoken word project. Basically there are 20 youtube vids of different peeps playing something in B-flat. I’ll stop trying to explain it, just go and check it out!!

If you want to make a website, go to wordpress.com and set one up for free. It’s easy. If you’ve done that and want greater flexibility, buy some web-hosting from bluehost and upload your own template. There are 100s and 1000s of free templates available for wordpress. Some a pretty average. The best way to sift through them all is to:
Last month I failed to post any design related gear. Not this month. The following are 3 videos that are well-made and if you’re a creative, they might give you some inspiration. Or not. Two stop animations, then a film clip. 1) The PEN Story (h/t ragamuffin soul):
2) PEN Giant:
On my way home from Tamworth, based on my brother’s strong endorsement, I stopped in at Cafe Telegraph. It’s at the north-western end of the small town Murrurundi. It’s a beautiful cafe, but the only time it’s open is for a limited window on Saturday and Sunday. My brother has been there once, but every time he drives through it’s closed! Not so for me. I haven’t tried them all, but I think it’s a safe bet that they make one of the best coffees along the New England highway. Likewise, their turnip falafel was all-time! Here are 3 photos I took there on my phone. Filtered with Format126 app.

Church By The Bridge and Petersham Evening Church are both running impressive events and corresponding websites aimed directly at their local community using the ‘I heart…’ motif. If you’ve stumbled here via google and you’re from Kirribilli or Petersham, you should check them out. If you’re a Christian involved in loving your community, you should learn from them. They’re both creative as they engage and love their neighbours.
I heart Kirribilli – this is an art competition celebrating all there is to love about Kirribilli and their community. Last year was the first year it was run, it’s back this year with a killer website. Check it out.
I heart Petersham – this is a bunch of events during May run by a church known for its creativity. Leigh Hatcher, current anchor on Sky News Australia, is also a Christian and he’s speaking for 3 weeks on ‘The Big Picture’ (the first talk is already online). Leigh is also hosting a ‘Grill the news guy’ event at the local pub. They’re also running a Fair Trade event next week. All great events worth checking out!
