In my day, all we had… (etc)

Wow, this really is real. Checkout Amazon’s ‘Imaginarium’ (yuck) for great security related toys:

Security Checkpoint ToySecurity Checkpoint Toy

Customers who bought this also bought…

  • Playmobile Police Van
  • Playmobile Tanker Truck
  • Playmobile Bank Counter

Obviously that sent me on a quick browse of the military toys I found, as you’d expect, lots of the ususal replica tanks and planes etc. I really enjoyed the well-placed quote marks in the description of this missile launcher:
“Mega Missile Launcher - Take command of your very own ‘peace-keeping’ tank!”

Creative Action Network

creative action network website screenshotThe Creative Action Network are responsible for the hugely popular community arts event, the Sharrow Lantern Carnival. The website’s aim is primarily to encourage involvement in the carnival. This participatory event is highly photogenic, so I created an easily updatable photo gallery script that would show off pictures from a range of photographers in a visually appealing manner.

My involvement in the website has included:

  • PHP scripting for original photo gallery software.
  • Modifications to site design using HTML and CSS.
  • Regularly updating content.
