Well, I haven't posted anything lately (got some nice landscape photos coming up though - read on for details) as I've been busy what with Uni starting. I'm doing a Bachelor of Industrial Design @ UNSW (www.unsw.edu.au), which involves a lot of constructing things like wooden yo-yos and hammers (wood and metal modules for workshop safety course), engineering drawings (I <3 this course - Design/Communication), COMPUTER BASICS (hahahaha we all know who is going to top this course of 130 students ...ME!), and thats about it I think. Also joined the PIRATE SOCIETY, the ULTIMATE FRISBEE CLUB, AIESOC (Australian International Student Exchange or some such thing) and the ROWING CLUB (NB: Joined AIESOC and Rowing Club for the free beer. I stopped rowing when I was 15 and I intend to keep it that way. Student exchange? Maybe.
Well anyway I might put said photos online now. Until next time this is James "McJ" Ducker signing off - catch me on STUDIOJ RADIO Fridays from 8-10pm AEST (GMT +1100 (+1000 when DST ends) ).

xoxoxo James

PS: Sorry for making you read a useless Journal entry

well been a while hey!
Updates of my life:
1. I got a new printer after my 9 year old HP finally died (RIP, I still love you)
so I bought a cool new Canon and it prints CDs and Photos and was well worth the $200 i spent on it, except that you can only DirectPrint from Canon DSCs (the BASTARDS!)

2. I got accepted into a B Industrial Design at the University of New South Wales (OMGOMGOMOGMOMG) which is good, and whats more I got a HECS place (for those of you outside Austrialia/NSW HECS = Government pays something like 80% of your fees and the rest you pay back out of your taxable income when you get a job). I start Uni on February 28, so this time next year I may well be submitting lots of stuff I've made, but I promise not to abandon my Graphic Design roots, I love it too much

3. I might still go to Design School after Uni, cos I don't want to give up on Graphic Design, and I think Industrial and Graphic Design would go together well

4. New girlfriend, Georgia: very sweet, very perfect, very...*sigh* just perfect. Maybe I'll post a snap of us here if she lets me

5. I'm thinking of buying an 8MP DSC - any photographers out there, give me your recommendations! I might go for less than 8, but the lower cameras tend not to have such advanced image adjustment and capture technology (sigh, I still like my SLR the best, good old pentax, never let me down!!)

6. hmm what else....I finally made a new flash intro for my website, it features music by the Strokes and the music from the Apple "Switch" commercials. See it here

Well that's it from me, I'll let you know how things are after I start uni, not that you care anyway
