I’m on Twitter

Date October 19, 2007

Not sure if you have noticed (I know a number of you read through RSS, so I don’t blame you if you don’t), I’ve recently joined Twitter. My latest tweets are on the blue sidebar on the left.

Perception of Reality

Date October 17, 2007

This is something my lecturer in my Audio Engineering Course mentioned today, that was quite interesting.
