I’m about to do my last week of compulsory education, before I go (along with all my peers) on exam leave so I consider this “Leaving School”. It’s an odd concept to comprehend, even more to do so from the first year of secondary school. It seems like a never ending trip and now I’m placed with the exam timetable in front of me, along with the year book and told to leave.
What has school taught me?
In one way, immense amounts; I’ve learnt allot over five years, from lessons, teachers, textbooks and friends. But in another sense,

This post is just to get my recent thoughts across about the new iPod shuffle which was released the other day by Apple.
In first impressions I was taken aback by it. I like the new design but I’m disappointed that they have taken away the choice of colors, which makes no sense after the 4th generation nano update, where they added more colors to the spectrum available. I think this might drive some customers away who would want an ipod that is color specific.
I’m all for convenience but I also think that the idea with moving the controls to the earphones could be impractical. Apple earphones are not the best for reliability. I have owned 2 previous ipods. Both of which the headphones have split and peeled. Apple’s headphones also have quite a price tag and they will come as a necessity when the ipod is controlled by them so apple headphones will have to be used. it also means the customer cannot use their own earphones which are probably more reliable and cheaper.
My last point about the new ipod shuffle is the voice-over function, some people may find it useful but I can imagine the voice in their ear pissing them off real bad, I know it would for me. These are the flaws I see in apples product and shows I’m not always for them as a company. Thanks..

Well, then… It has been a while since I’ve updated this, I’ve been much to busy with school and my other tomfoolery I get up to out of school. I’m just coming to a close with all of my mock exams for English, History, Philosophy and ethics, Psychology, Sociology and Life+Learning. the last of which is an utterly pointless subject which was undoubtably created to give somebody a job in some London office.
Anywho the 3 week pantomime show at the youth theater finished 2 weeks ago which free’d me up allot of time before my mocks.


I’m still doing my 365 photo project into February which I’m surprised of since I’ve had a few bad patches with it.. All the photos are on my photostream which the badge to the right of this shows.
I also turned 16 about a month ago and I went for an awesome game of bowling with some good friends.



We also had quite allot of snow recently. So I went out and did some snapping..







I’ve also been up to the usual assorted geekery and setup MySQL for a web project I currently have in development, I’ll talk about that later..



On the night before I was meant to have mu supposed psychology exam (which was cancelled thanks to snow!) Me and me dad went to pick up a kitten. Out of a litter of 5 we picked “Pepper” who was the one black coated kitten.
He is a cross breed between persian and tankoniese - which evidently is a cross between siamese and burmses. But enough with the quadratics..









Now back to my web project - Flasharkive, this is a website I’m making at the moment along with luke who is providing flash support as its idea is for people who animate to present their flash work on this site and such. If you would like to be a Beta tester, please email me or something as I’m going to lock it up to testers only soon enough so it is secure.



I also bought Call of duty: World at war the other day which isn’t as good as I thought it would be, but good fun none the less!



The holidays are coming to a close now. I’ll update further in late march. Before I head to Germany and Poland for a week with school. Thats it for this post, Bye!

This just seems so true and funny to me..
