Lente Lawaai
I was approached to design a “festive” and “vivid” logo for a music festival that was going to be held close to the Spring time every year. It is called “Lente Lawaai” which translates directly to “Spring Noise”. This logo design gave me a chance to explore with many colors and many many gradients. There are more on this at the Facebook group.
Crazy Delicious
Crazy Delicious is a visual cooking venture that Charl Norman started. He was very precise on what he wanted. Something “hip” and “funky” with a graffiti feel to it. So left to my devices it came to this. A few other concepts were created but not gonna show them. The faces was my own idea and they are the two presenters/chefs, Alex and Chris. More about Crazy Delicious at the Facebook group. Be sure to catch the first episode. Coming real soon!
Facebook is just a website…

Launchy makes live easy
What is Lauchy you ask? It’s a search bar that pops when you hit Alt + Enter, indexing any item on your computer like your start menu for starters. It’s always been such a mission to click, click, find and click just to open a program you have opened a million times. Even if you moved over to Desktop Icons (OOOH!) or even a bit of Quick Launch (for the visionaries) … you’ll be back at square one were you to format.
To put it in plain English… Launchy Rocks! Heres a little taste. Then a series of built-in function that make it even more rocking. It’s available for download here.
WordPress Stats Plugin
Dubbed Automattic Stats (or WordPress.com Stats), it has been out less than a week and it shows great promise and was developed by Andy, a well known wordpress developer. I’ve started using it and it’s the way. If you can trust WordPress then you can trust their stats. Here’s why it’s cool…
- It works wherever your WordPress is hosted.
- It’s central. You can check the stats for all of your blogs in one place.
- It’s easy on your host. Your server doesn’t have to ask our server for raw data each time you browse the reports.
- It’s fast. Their servers can talk directly to the stats database and display the results unaffected by the loads and limits of your server.
- It’s quite reliable.
- It’s future-proof. Whenever they update the reporting interface, add features, improve graphs, fix bugs, etc., you don’t have to upgrade your plugin.
- It’s ready now.
Here’s where you get it, and here is what it looks like.

Facebook Toolbar is now Available!
I’ve been using it and it rocks! The Facebook Toolbar is the next logical step in Facebook, the social mecca’s, path. Click on the image and it will show you what the Facebook toolbar contains. It prompts you on any Massages, Friends and Pokes you have waiting for you. It gives you teh ability to have an overview of your friends’s status and Quick Links menu to get to certain parts of your Facebook without delay.
There’s a search function that makes it easy to find your friends and a share button, much like a Muti or del.icio.us buttons.
Very cool I must say. There might be room for improvement, but I admire the fact that less is more in Facebook. Have a look at some of the Facebook functions in action!
