After working with logos for a while, here’s the finished one for the training biz.

My van is (not being big headed) is rather unique. It’s painted a very odd yellow, as the paint used is commercial paint meant for a lorry. Also it’s a very early 1971 VW Bay camper and has a different body shape and lights to most VW Campers. Also it’s a Devon conversion, again you don’t see very many of them.

So as far as I was concerned my van was totally unique.

I left the studios for a mid-day appointment today and as driving through the quiet back roads of Shropshire just outside Ironbridge (with my house almost in view across the bridge), parked up with the pop-top open was the exact same van in every detail. Weirder still as I passed (I couldn’t see inside the parked van), a hand started to wave at me as I passed by out of the front window.

If this was a future me, I would have known the exact time I was to pass on the way to the appointment and maybe thought it would be fun to say hello to old Will.

I never caught the registration plate of the van – but in a strange way seeing my future self is rather comforting! ]]> http://britishmac.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=71 0 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=70 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=70#comments Wed, 20 Oct 2010 16:52:03 +0000 admin http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=70

The podcast costs 99p a month and is free until the 17th of November 2010.

I’m looking forward to having some fun with the content and developing some ideas I have but never had room for them in the regular editions of BritishMac.

So in the process of sourcing one for the new studio I decided to have a look at the software options for the iPad and tried out the AC-7 Pro Control Surface priced £5.99 and $9.99 from the iTunes store.

It’s a great piece of software for both home studio and pro studio user, and I have spent an enjoyable day putting it through its paces. I won’t put a full review here (because I’m a tease like that), I’ll cover it this weeks British Mac podcast and then do a in-depth tutorial in the October issue of the PaperMac magazine. ]]> http://britishmac.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=40 2 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=23 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=23#comments Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:44:19 +0000 admin http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=23 The new range of Mac Pros are available for pre-order at apple.com 12 core beast will give you 99p change out of £4000! ]]> http://britishmac.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=23 0 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=22 http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=22#comments Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:08:12 +0000 admin http://britishmac.com/blog/?p=22 Continue reading →]]> Many thanks to Russell Albert for this one.
