A Simple Plan Fansite
This entry was posted on June 2, 2008
It’s no secret that I love Simple Plan. I’ve seen them no end of times (well, five times if we’re being pedantic) and they’re a band that means a lot to me.
So much so, that I’ve made a Simple Plan fansite! “Operation Simple Plan” is a project that started off small and kind of grew into a much larger project. It would not have been possible without the help of my friend Claire; she has been invaluable throught the whole building process.
Operation Simple Plan is now open to the public! We’ve got a forum, a gallery, and loads of ways to get involved! So, if you’re an SP fan (and even if you’re not), please do check out my Simple Plan fansite.

Blog Advertizing
This entry was posted on May 29, 2008
I received an email today from someone called Elmer, offering me blog sponsorship. I’m all for being paid to do something I love, but being sponsored to blog? That’s not something I’d be interested in, to be honest. I can’t help but feel it would give off the wrong “vibe” to my blog.
When I see sponsored blog posts on other blogs, I feel like the sponsorship affects the way the blogger writes; it has an influence on them, and that’s not an influence I like seeing. I want to read 100% honest blog posts, not an opinion that can be swayed by something so trivial as money.
So, whilst it was nice to hear from you, Elmer, I’m afraid I’m going to have to refuse your offer, and not just because your website is weird and you can’t spell “advertising”. The same goes for anyone else who wants to sponsor me to blog. Feel free to give me money (I wouldn’t say no to that!) but don’t try and “sponsor” me to say what you want me to say.

Are you musical?

It’s no secret that I love music. Music is probably my biggest passion in the whole world (yes, even more than front end web development). I truly believe that music makes the world go round.
I play various musical instruments, and I listen to music heaps as well. I try to go to as many live music shows as I can realistically afford, and I spend far too much time / money in HMV.
My favourite music is often produced by five-piece male-fronted rock bands, such as My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Simple Plan, and Good Charlotte, though I’m also a bit partial to solo stars such as Ashley Tisdale, Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Michael Buble. What can I say - I have a broad taste in music!
Recent artists I’ve been enjoying are Marilyn Manson, The Subways, and the cast of High School Musical. I even have a playlist with those three artists on. “Bet on it” sits quite happily next to “Long hard road out of hell” on my iPod.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but I have a last.fm profile. All my music is “scrobbled” there, but I don’t have enough friends. I’m always looking to find new music I might enjoy, so recommend me something - I’m open to anything.
(And yes, I also want to have more friends than Jem because it was me who introduced her to last.fm and I’m miffed that she has more friends than me.)
