Hello.

Hello and welcome!

Jon PhillipsThis site is sorta like a blog but not exactly, it's not a portfolio or design site either (though I sometimes write about design and the interwebs). You can see this site as an experiment, both in design and content. If you're looking to read or see something very thought provoking, you probably won't find it here, but ya never know.

I'm the lead guitarist in a heavy alternative band, The Gods Of Now and I'm a guitar teacher. I'm also a web designer and blogger. I've been working online for quite a while now and have launched, and still manage, some pretty successful blogs and online publications. I don't consider myself a writer, I believe there's a huge difference between being a writer and being a blogger.

Oh and I should also mention I've very active on social media, networking and bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Del.Icio.Us, Mixx, BlogCatalog and Twitter (love Twitter!). I'm not a huge fan of Myspace and Facebook though.

So that's about it! Now if you have read this far, you might wanna browse around the site a little! :)

Saw IV - Stop The Pain!

I went to the movies last week-end for Saw IV, and in my opinion the first Saw is still the best one, in fact I think they should have stopped there, the new one is painful (not as in 'horror' or 'disgusting' but as in 'bad'), but when a movie is that popular, I guess you wanna cash in :) Here's ...

It’s Been A While!

So, if any of you were wondering where I've been, well.. everywhere, except on this blog, so I thought now was the time to do something about it, and redesign it, move things around a little. Hope you like the new design. It's still a work in progress, but I plan on spending some time here building my portfolio and ...

    The use of propaganda dates back many years, but at the time of these wars the use of posters as propaganda took off to a point where almost every country involved had commissioned graphic designers with the task of creating a vast array of posters.
  • First Mover Advantage is NOT Critical to Your Success - Zoom … Tue, 13 May 2008 08:57:05
    First mover advantage; being the first one in a market or to develop a new technology can be a huge advantage. At the same time, doing all that hard work also lays the foundation for someone else to step in and do it better.
  • Overcoming Limitations : OM Meditation Tue, 13 May 2008 08:55:59
    As people, we all face limitations of both body and mind. Some of us are great athletes, while others suffer from a physical handicap of some type. Some of us are great thinkers, and even some of us go on to earn PhD. degrees and win at game shows like “Who wants to be a millionaire?”
  • Word 2007 Tip #5: Maximizing Your Mouse : Great Documents Tue, 13 May 2008 08:55:07
    Selecting text with your mouse in MS-Office and MS-Word is easy and efficient. I personally enjoy using a mouse because it allows me to use the keyboard for typing and as I think, I write.
