Tweet-ups and Relish Last night saw the gathering of Captonian tweeters at Relish in town for a tweet-up (meeting of Twitter users).

The Field Band Foundation — Education through The Arts
29th January, 2009 – 12:23 pm
Music and the arts have always been a topic close to my heart. Having grown up being a musician from a young age, I have felt the positive impact that music, performance and the arts in general have had on my life and development. Watching a passion-filled performance, whatever it may be, always strikes a chord (for want of a better phrase) […]

They really give me meaning to the phrase, “rock […]
HOW TO: Set up a rockstar video blog

Video blogging (‘vlogging’, for short) is revolutionising the way internet users access information and interact with one another. Watching a 5 minute video clip or tutorial is, for many, easier than reading an article that could easily span two or three printed pages. The average internet user can now, with a few clicks and an original idea, become […]

15th January, 2009 – 10:15 am
Inspiration is a feeling that can arrive in an endless variety of packages…from neatly wrapped parcels to boxes bursting at the seams to explode. Being at a computer for a large part of the day, I find inspiration in many nooks and crannies online. There are a few websites that I visit regularly that I find to be great sources of knowledge […]
