Reebok Bums

I'm just chilling at home watching a preview for "Kick Ass" starring McLovin.... but the coolest bit was the ad in between.

Reebok have released a new product, Easy Tone.

I'm not all that fussed about what it does, but boy oh boy were there a LOT of buttocks.

Nuff said.

West Ham United vs Stoke

I'm forever blowing bubbles.......

That was how this weeks earlier game against wolves started off, and finished with the players looking for a way out of relegation.

They were put shone by what should be  a lesser side, but showed on the day a bit of organisation and some simple football goes a long way. 3-1 in fact!

Today the Hammers are up against Stoke who have been playing well of late.

I'm on the way now to meet up wit Bart, not Simpson, for what will be his first taste of premiere league football and I'm hoping both the players and the fans can show him a good time, unfortunately I west ham play the way they have been the crowd will show Bart just how harsh they can be when the home side gives up.

Im fairly optimistic a out today though. Following a team like west ham is tough because there are a lot of lows, but when the highs are there BOY are they HIGH!

COME ON YOU IRONS........

Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast - Comes the Messiah

It's always good every once in a while to come across someone that is a genuinely nice person.

I've been writing a few articles for SurferM.ag during this years Quiksilver Pro, and always need to grab an image to go along with the article.

I usually trawl through the Flickr Galleries searching for Creative Commons images and giving credit where it is due.

Simon had some great shots, but unfortunately all were copyright. After a quick Flickr comment, then a follow up email and he was happy to share his image in exchange for a link or two.

So check out the flickr image, his blog post, Comes the Messiah, or the gallery of images on Swellnet.

West Ham Bobby Moore Anniversary

Today marks 17 years since the Bobby Moore passed away.

I'm happy to say that every other week I head to West Hams Upton Park and take my seat in the Bobby Moore stand.

What follows from that really depends on the performance of West Ham on that particular day, but I'm always sure to join in with the other 10,000 supporters in the Bobby Moore stand a few heckles of the opposition, the ref, the slow fat bloke on our team, and of course to sing along to "I'm forever blowing bubbles"

Christmas in England

There were two brilliant Christmas presents from what I can only describe as my English family. No more tangible then the paper they are written/printed on, but all the more special because of it.

One from my wonderful girlfriend Laura, a story of how we arrived at Christmas day that spans nearly 3 years, 22 pages, with still much more to be added as we go.

The second was from her Nan who recited a poem for me on Christmas morning.

So we welcome Justin for Christmas
From that Aussie country way down under
If he think we are having cold turkey & salad
Then he is making a terrible blunder.

For her we have hot turkey & pudding
We need all the warmth for our tummy
But even he must surely admit
Hot mince pied covered in cream are yummy

He can drink some lovely mulled wine
Or if he prefers a cold beer.
A few nice chocolates & some nuts
Will be eaten by all of us here

If Alf hasn't chewed all the presents
That are piled up under the tree
Don't know what Santa has brought him
But there might be one there from me.

Now I don't know what he does in Australia
But here we play sports quizzes & games
And I bags he will be on my side
For he must know all the footballers names.

I do hope you enjoy your Christmas
For we Thame folk are glad you are here
So it just remains for me to wish you
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Thank you very much to Nan and the Anderson Family, especially the beautiful Laura.

24 Ways

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover, but December brings us 24 ways to impress your friends.

http://24ways.org/ is a website that updates it's content 24 times a year, and it all comes out in the lead up to Christmas.

For those of you that don't have an advent calendar (see Bart Simpson on my window ledge) you can still receive a gift of nerdy goodness every morning in the lead up to Christmas.

Apart from having quite a fancy looking site (lots of overlaying divs and use of opacity, need not view in IE6) the site provides good articles from well known webbies such as Andy Clarke, Jeffrey Zeldman and Kevin Yank, covering a range of topics including Accessibility, Wireframes, Pitching, Contracts, Cross Browser, Search, CSS, typeface etc etc.

They are already a few articles in this month including

• RGBA colour in CSS3 and the use of Opacity
• Breaking out the edges of the browser
• Have a field day with html5 forms

Happy reading.
