I am at the moment updating my website with buttons that let you click onto my social sites, so Facebook and Twitter and a +1 Google button too!

Here is what they look like and you can also click them on this post as they should be fully functioning:

This is fun but challenging work as html is not my strong point but I enjoy having a crack at it! I hope to have these buttons incorporated into this blog as well! So have a click and enjoy!

Newt Gingrich

A little cartoon of Newt..... I have opinion on this subject as I am English and live in the London area. But it is interesting to watch this political 'game' play itself out from over the pond!

Wedding Caricature

One from last nights Ruby Wedding Celebration party! As I draw we have a lot of fun kidding the guests about all kinds of stuff and they enjoy all the fun of it all!

These black and white caricatures, that I draw live on the spot, take about 6 minutes for two people in the picture like this!

A walk on the beach

Technology is developing and changing behind closed doors with those new ideas kept as top secret, until they become a reality and available to buy in the stores.

Televisions are changing fast with smart technology that allows the Internet to become part of screens on offer services. Years ago buying a television was a walk on the beach. You could choose a brand and a screen size and that was it!

Today the variety of choice in what your television can offer you is amazing and there is rumour in the air that Apple may have a television available within the next year or two.

So television set choice is changing very fast with technology dictating how these changes shall evolve into a reality.

It's fun but also a little confusing for some of us!

I am holding back for another year before thinking of buying a new television!

Waiting time

This past week my wife and I have enjoyed a vacation staying with our good friend Michael in Sarasota at his house.

It has been a great vacation and we have fallen in love with Sarasota!

Slowing down and relaxing has been great and it has been nice to enjoy this waiting time!

I will be back inside the shed late Thursday as I have s lot to catch up on but I am looking forward to getting lots of work done!

Art class

Today I joined the art class that is held by my good friend Michael White.

The subject was drawing hands and I could not resist drawing this caricature of Michael as he is a great fun guy!

iPhone camera

This picture was taken with my iPhone 4 two days ago in Sarasota, Florida.

I believe it shows just how good a photo you can take with an iPhone and as I understand the iPhone 4s has an even better camera!

Currently my iPhone 4 is still under contract but in May this year I will be able to upgrade. Although the rumours are starting to come out about the iPhone 5 and it's possible release this August! So maybe I will wait till then!

Anyway, I can still have fun with current iPhone and keep shooting pictures!
