Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)

This video from Justice (think they're a French group) is amazing! The songs pretty catchy too. Have a look for yourselves.

FIESA (Sand Festival - Faro, Portugal)

Its amazing what can inspire you sometimes. You wouldn't really add sand to the list but I've been proven wrong it seems. On my holiday to Portugal last week, I decided to visit the sand festival which was advertised just about everywhere. I wasn't expecting anything special, I generally find the photos on the adverts are always better than when you see it in person. Anyway, I was shocked at some of the sand sculptures created. It was breathtaking! Some of the work and skill gone into the display was amazing. Basically, in a nutshell, every year sand artists come from all over the world to create a sculpture based on the theme given. This year was 'the world'. They generally take place in Europe, mainly Spain or Portugal. Have a look at the website to find out more.

Here are some photos I managed to take on the day. The sand festival is also open late into the night when it is illuminated. If I had longer I would have stayed to see that, but I might have missed my plane back. Oh well, maybe next year.

Websites

I got a free cd with a design magazine a few months ago, but I'd never really looked at it. Sometimes you can get some crappy gimmicks with free cd's. After sorting out my desk though (I'm a cluttered person) I thought I better try it before I threw it away. Anyway I'm glad I did. It has a list of some amazing web sites which are well worth a look at. Anyway, heres some of my favorites below. Great for inspiration and also to sit in front of your screen and go "whooooaa.....cool...."

Gordon Ramsey's Lady Fingers

After Chris at work persuaded me to go out and buy Gordon Ramsey's new book, Fast Food, I decided to try my hand at making his tiramisu. It featured on the f word last week and looked yum. Anyway, my brother decided to film the end result.

On a more creative note though (as if making tiramisu isn't creative enough for me), the book is designed brilliantly and is so easy to follow even I managed it. It has some great photography in which features side by side before and after shots. Great to see if you're attempt has come out ok or turned out crap. Anyway, visually it's top, so you should all go out and buy it and cook cook cook!

Ramseys cook book, tiramisu, stuff yer face, DONE!
