an excellent dog sign from new zealand here. but just look what the owner is wearing.
not content with cutting themselves in to quaters and having one arm longer than the other, they’ve also taken to wearing a rather natty shirt collar. a dog collar perhaps ?
i was having a morning tea with the excellent alex from samknows earlier this week and spotted these legs in a van. using all my quick drawer training i grabbed the shot with only minimum interruption to the conversation.
a lot of cars now have legs fitted like this. it’s a kind of do it yourself version of a hybrid car, and helps solve both the nation’s obesity and unemployment problems.
i’m becoming an unemployment problem as of next week. i plan to eat nothing but cake for the first week to bulk myself up for this kind of work.
thanks to georgina for sending this excellent example of jigsaw etiquette from the sea side.
we learn that seagulls make a mess and can get aggressive. same can be said for many of the visiting tourists after 9pm i suspect.
there’s a definite feel to ‘wrapping up’ when i go in to london these days, so it’s fantastic when i see some old familiar themes interpreted in new ways.
one such thing is the strange habit of the large posters in paddington station having Page numbers ! there really can be no reason for it. and that is why we love them so.
it’s been a while since we’ve had any slow portraits. here is one i did yonks ago. there’s another one coming in the next day or so. exciting isn’t it ?
this was the state of the box that my new birthday laptop arrived in. luckily the laptop was fine. hoorah.
i saw this and had a look to see what it was. and then i found out. so now we all know
definitely one to listen to with the sound up nice and loud
i love london. and i love how wandering around you see history stacked up alongside and on top of itself.
it’s probably no coincidence that jimi ended up living next door to george handel. they missed each other by over 200 years, but the vibes were no doubt still moving.
hi
i’m wondering about what do with the funkypancake blog, so i’d value some feedback !
it’s been going for over 6 years and i haven’t changed the format (or content for that matter) much over that time. We’ve got some major life changing events on the horizon, so now seemed a good time to review where it’s at
here are some questions you could cut and paste in to an email and ping back to me at dave@funkypancake.com
* can you still be bothered to look at all this stuff ?
* how often do you read it ?
* and how – on a proper computer or a mobile phone etc ?
* do you look at the webpage or read via an RSS reader ?
* are there too many / too few pictures every day ?
* what sorts of pictures work best ?
* would you like to see other life ramblings interspersed – eg my twitters etc ?
* would you like a little bit more life updating, which might involve some blog posts of just words.
* do you have any thoughts on better ways of displaying my wares ?
* are there any better design options or ways of doing the site that could make things easier ?
* are pages too slow to load ?
* what’s your favourite vegetable and why ?
* why don’t people leave comments any more ? is it simply too tricky to work out how to do it or is there actually no one there ?
so there you go. words. a rare thing on funkypancake. please send me an email and tell me what you think ! i’ll give you a week to reply and i’ll attempt to do some redesigning week after next

update: by the way, do include a link to your own webpage/twitter etc and/or if you know any good sites you think i might be interested in. and i promise not to spam your email address
