The need for "Cool"

Googled on 23/01/2012: 1 pm.

Perth's soaring temperatures are no surprise as they seem to keep their record each summer. The heat is on and its terrible to work in a retail store called Bunnings, where there are no airconditioners and the warehouse is made of construction materials that heat up too soon. I finished my last day with Bunnings yesterday and did feel sad about leaving and saying goodbyes to everyone.

The last page of my letter to my best friend

I love writing letters to my closest friends. I reserve my best words and longest, time-consuming efforts for those close to me. I finished a trip to New Zealand last December. Here, I am sharing the last page of my letter to my best friend, Neha.
Do you know what I do?

Difference of ads: India vs. Australia

Below are few examples of commercials for discounted products.
From Australia and India. They are images from the internet and Youtube as below.
Which is better?

Harvey Norman advertising does not seem to have changed much over the years.

Random Monday in november

Few weeks back my teacher, Wilma posted a link on Facebook.com about another blog. That is a collaborative/collective effort. It is called The Difference of 25. 

The difference of 25 can be found on facebook

The purpose of this blog is to promote different styles/methods/voices of art created by individuals like you and me. According to Roos, the creator, "You will see the many differences and uniqueness of us all, although we work with one and the same theme."

New website

I am in the process of creating my own website for professional work reasons..

Therefore, I have acquired myself a personal domain and using Blogger.com for hosting.

The blog/website will be used to display my work, my design. So I will be using this as a personal blog only and possibly get rid of the projects section.

The address is www.designbymikide.com
At the moment, it might not work, so it would be best to try it here

I will be using a very simple grayscale style, to highlight the work.

I was just not aware that one could use blogger to publish to a custom domain with no hosting fees, until a couple of days ago... It only costs US$10, AUD $9.something; and one gets Google Apps (free version) with calendar, Email (powered by gmail) and so on. Plus there are 100s of free apps to use for business, promotion and they save time. Most are free. The business version gives you more space on the cloud, with more functionality, and it is directed towards the medium to large sized business/enterprises.

It was quick and easy to connect them together. Wordpress charges for hosting and custom domains and I am not an expert at web-designing, using wordpress. And I love Blogger! Google has quite a secure system for storing its information.

The only complaint I have is that when I am trying to use the new post editor, it is too much to the left of the screen. That, I believe is not user-friendly. Might have to try the new editor to see how it works.


So I got my own address on the website. me  @  mydomain dot com  !

I would highly recommend this for people just starting on their own website and if they are used to using Blogger.
