Tag clouds made pretty

I love finding web apps that are both ridiculously simple, easy to use and provide instant payback.

You can manually input text into a text box or provide an XML feed like I have with my del.ico.us feed below;


Applying myself

Really started to put the nose to the grindstone whilst keeping my ear to the ground these past few weeks…time is absolutely flying by and I’m starting to think about what the future holds for little old me…

After being told for four years that web/graphic design jobs were as scarce as hens teeth, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of jobs I’ve seen advertised and more importantly, jobs I’d deem myself eligible for…now its just all about getting my foot in the door for an interview so I can prove how fantastic I am and what an asset I would be to a company!!
