TIME IS RELATIVE

I know that time is time, and passes by at the same rate all the time. 1 minute is 60 seconds, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 1 day is 24 hours, and so on.
SO WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR A DAY TO ARRIVE SO THAT A CERTAIN THING CAN HAPPEN THAT YOU ARE ANXIOUSLY LOOKING FORWARD TO, DOES THE DAYS SEEM SOOOOOOO LOOOONNNNNGGG!
You see we are waiting for the house we are moving into to be finished being built. Only a few little things left to do, but we can't move in till this coming Friday. We've known this now for over a week, and I gotta say this last week and these last few days have been the longest days of my life. And yet I know that is not possible! I did the math! It's illogical to feel this way. And yet, probably like a lot of other people in similar situations, I do!
You know, I can arrive at a train station up to an hour before my train is due. I grab a newspaper, read the horror stories, do the crosswords, maybe a brain teaser or two, patiently waiting for the train to pull into the platform. But the minute, NEIGH THE SECOND, that that train is late, I start pacing back and forwards, wearing a pathway in the platform surface, and going through another pair of cheap joggers.
Perhaps people should lower their expectations to avoid disappointment, but if we did that, then technological advancements, indeed advancements in any field would stagnate.
Finally, to put in the token plug, If you have high expectations, don't want to wait any longer than you have to, because your TIME IS MONEY than i-Imagination is the Graphic Design Studio you need to be contacting for all your design needs.

THE FOOTBALL PSYCHE OUT

It wasn't enough that the weather gods in Queensland decided to turn on the worst day of the week for the day that the South Sydney Rabbitohs flew in for their round 25 clash with the Brisbane Broncos. The teaming rain that brought visibility to mere metres. Driving rain that stranded an already stressed Rabbitohs football team on the airport tarmac.
They then had to negotiate, the torrential rain in a vehicle competing with space on the road with the hoards of traffic headed for Suncorp Stadium to witness the Wallabies and All Blacks come head to head, while the tired, stressed, wet and cold bunnies tried to honour their commitments to meet with their dwindling fans who had already waited some 60 minutes, who also got wet and cold.
But then, to top it all off, the hotel staff where the Rabbitohs were staying decided to prematurely wake the already worn out team with a 6.00am fire drill. I mean really, if this wasn't a ploy by hotel staff to help psyche out the Bunnies from the ensuing clash on the field, then the easter bunny really does lay chocolate eggs.
That's my take on it anyway. Needless to say, the resting of Nathan Merritt and John Sutton didn't help. And lets face it, and I'm sure Fetuli Talanoa is a lovely bloke, but when it comes to First Grade Rugby League, he just isn't up to it!

Great Email

Darren Taylor, from Merriman Controls, one of our valued clients had this to say about the recent trade magazine advertisement we designed for him today. This response came after just ONE (1) proof! (to view it bigger click HERE)

So if you would like a no fuss FIRST and ONLY proof of your advertisement or any project that you require, you should visit iImagination's website to see how we can help you and if you need Industrial piping and fittings you should visit Merriman's website today!

New Projects Completed

I would just like to announce that iImagination has recently completed two (2) projects for different clients giving them their own unique internet presence.

Merriman Controls in North Wyong, New South Wales, required their products pages to be updated to a site that we also created. I'm pleased to advise that those pages are now live for all to see.

My mate Andrew Oakeshott at Kodiak Data Cabling, has finally requested a full blown site instead of the one pager that we threw together some years ago. His site has now gone live, but we are still awaiting content for the testimonials page.

If you have any requirements needed to be done by a professional team of designers, then be sure to contact us at iImagination first.

TV stands for Total Void

You are probably asking what the hell is this guy talking about! Where do I start. First the powers that be canned Stargate SG1, after 11 seasons, that doesn't seem so bad. What was bad was that they replaced it with Stargate Universe. An epic failure that drifted right away from its ever successful predecessor into a format that was more of a cross between Star Trek Voyager and the new version of Battlestar Galactica. The writers lost the plot with all the drama and seriousness in SGU where the actual Stargate was the least used hole in the series. The tragedy in all this is that when the long awaited and desired decision to can SGU finally came, they also chose to shelve the planned Stargate Atlantis movies which we were looking forward to with baited breath.

There is now no decent SCI/FI not scyfy, as they now call the channel, anyway no decent Sci/Fi series left to watch notwithstanding reruns of SG1, SGA and Star Treks.

Add to that, my new favourite series, NCIS, is in hiatus until the northern hemisphere's fall, and our southern hemisphere's Spring. Again we are left with re-runs.

It is my opinion, and only that, that Television programs, and their respective writers, have hit an all time low, where there is nothing worth watching emanating into our living rooms. We have these you-beaut widescreen LCD or Plasma televisions and they are dishing up crap to watch on them. It's almost enough for you to sell your big expensive TV set and return back to the bored, I MEAN BOARD games.

So now I have all this idle time, visit my website and contract me to do some work for you. I have plenty of time to spare, plenty of time, really A LOT OF TIME!!!

Sheets and their sizes

Here is one of my random thoughts. I have often wondered why sheets don't have their size on their tags.

When you buy clothes you buy them by size, right? And throughout the life of the clothes, or until the tag falls off and/or fades, the size is always there for all to see. But not so for sheets.

The size of a sheet is clearly marked on the packaging, when you first buy it. But what about when you've used it, washed it, folded it, and put it in the linen closet with all the other same colour sheets. Then you go to use it again, but wait! I have kids who use single sheets too, and they are all grouped together. WHICH ONE IS WHICH? You can't look at the tag, because there is no "DB" or "QB" or "KB" (if you are that lucky) or "SB".

You end up having to UNFOLD the sheets till you find the one you want, then REFOLD the sheets and put them back. It gives me the Sh@$ts.

When will manufactures add those all important 2 letters to their tags so we all know what size the sheet is WHEN IT IS FOLDED!

Please!

A twitter here, A twitter there!

iImagination has joined the many millions of people on twitter. Still not really understanding how it all works, suffice it to say, I selected various talents, who I admire, to follow, who I might add, are yet to follow me, but that's OK, I'm nobody special, although I could offer them Graphic Design services, should they need them.

For example, my mate Russell Crowe, who I have met and is a really nice bloke, despite what some concierges might say, could utilise my services for our South Sydney Rabbitohs.

However that is not the purpose of this blog entry. I merely wished to point out that in the days of "low-tech" when mobile phones were only on Star Trek. When computers took up a room the size of a house and needed air conditioning to keep the air clean of dust. And if you wanted to play a computer game, it was off to the Arcade with a pocket full of change.

Well back in those days, famous or talented people were admired from afar and perceived as someone to aspire to, to strive to be like, to imitate and so on. But technology such as the Internet with Facebook and Twitter, mobile phones with the increasing number of apps you can get for them, has brought those famous stars back down to earth as we realise that in a lot of ways we are already akin.

Russell Crowe tweated about a 5 km walk which included an encounter with a red belly black snake, which reminded me of a time when walking at a beach not far from Russell's home of a similar experience.

Pauley Perrette tweated a picture of her and her significant other with a face full of pizza. I mean who of us has never dived head first into a delicious disc from the mediterranean.

Soon to be mum, Alyssa Milano is often tweating about every day events that happen in her life.

It's not as I first thought, a vehicle for each to push their own barrow, but it is an insight into the everyday events that happen to us, but it's happening to them, who at the end of the day, are just like us.

I guess you can say I am officially a twitter convert. Just keep twittering, just keep twittering.
