wee doors banging

Did you make any New Year Resolutions? 2010 is now almost a month old, how are they working out for you so far? Were your resolutions wooly and vague enough that you’re finding it difficult to answer? Maybe you’re not being SMART.

After many years of working and hanging around with with graphic designers, geeks and other assorted fans of the Apple, working extensively with Apple’s WebObjects software stack myself and envying the touch screen futureness of the iPhone, I’ve finally taken the plunge, drunk the Kool-Aid, swallowed the Aqua coloured pill and bought myself a MacBook and iPhone.

From 1984-1991 I had the good fortune to attend Grosvenor High School in Cameronian Drive, East Belfast. The 1950’s buildings are now being replaced by a new school, and as a special farewell gift to past pupils (and staff) it was was opened for an afternoon to allow us to wander around and remember our school days.

Yes folks, it’s that time of year again. Time for the second annual (I can call it “annual” now that I’ve done a second one) Wee Doors Banging Christmas Card Of The Year awards. Cue crowd sample. Cue dancing girls.

2009 has passed us by, and to commemorate the old year I’ve picked out some of my favourite personal images from the past twelve months.

I’ve never really done New Year Resolutions. Well that’s not strictly true, but the best I came up with last year was “eat more cheese” so it might as well be. I think I know why too; I’m very much a “river person” who “may not have a concrete plan with measurable goals” and is “happiest and most fulfilled when they are wading in a rich river of interest”. This is all very well, but it can mean that I find it hard to complete anything significant.
