U2 tour Australia

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Just saw and ad on TV for the upcoming U2 Vertigo tour for Australia. Only been 8 years since the last tour, why so soon??? Brisbane concert will be on Tuesday March 21st at ANZ Stadium which is now called Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre. I think they should have it at Suncorp Stadium, that would be awsome.

UPDATE: now that it is postponed and with the changes to the Suncorp Stadium regulations, maybe this will happen?

Want to see some great photos?

Graphic Design plays a minor role on the web

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Gerry McGovern has a great article that I totally agree with over on his site, definately worth a read.

“The best websites are highly functional. They are task-focused. Graphic design has an important, though limited role. Don?t try and force the Web to be what it?s not.”
