BIRTHDAY

It's one of my sisters birthday today, Christina. She turned 8 today :D

And my step-aunt and uncle have got a new dog! The cutest thing ever. Its name is Alvin and if I remember correctly, it's 11 weeks old. It "attacked" my camera, biting after it, haha!

Have a great Monday peeps!

NEW WEBSITE

My new website is now done. Check it out at tomdaniellaugerud.com or tomdaniel.eu. I still haven't a 100% decided with what domain to go with. I used the Wix editor to create my site, cause the little web coding I know won't get me that far. I can do some basic stuff here and there, but that's about it. If you're wondering why I have two domains, it's because I got tomdaniellaugerud.com free through Wix, simple as that.

In mid June, actually at Gatwick Airport in the VHSmith, I spotted a magazine "Computer arts projects". On the front was the title "Improve your digital portfolio". This issue contained loads of tips on how to show off yourself and your work and how crucial that is in the creative industry. They'd interview people every branch on the industry, film, photo, design, art etc. If you get can a hold of a copy of this, do it, it's well worth the £7,50.

I've also started a "career blog", where I'm gonna post updates on project, inspirations etc. For me it's really important to separate my "private life" from my "job-life". It's not everything a future boss needs to see and vice versa. Also then I use that as a online journal, not just for myself, but also to use in uni where we have to do a "visual diary" of the year. You can find this at blog.tomdaniel.eu.

As a "mini-blog" I've set up a twitter account, so follow me @tomdaniel_blog. If I'm working on a project I can post short updates which will then appear on my blog.

Next step:

- I'm soon starting working on my Facebook page, hoping to have that online within August

- Business cards

Please give me feedback,would love to hear your thoughts.

MINI-APARTMENT

As I was tidying my "mini-apartment" today I realized I haven't shown you guys it! It's an add-on to the house my amazing step-dad built for me so I could get my own space. It's 8m x 3m (26.25ft x 9.84ft) and separated into a living room-office-"kitchen"-corner-area and a bedroom-area.

Used Photosynth to create a 360 picture so you can have a look. Use the mouse to "drag" the picture and move around in the room.

I love my parents for making this for me! I've was speechless when they told me and immediately said "Well I don't want you to spend money you don't have" They said it was fine. I was thrilled, not having to stay in my old kid room for the periods when I'm in Norway. Love my mom, step-dad and sister, but sometimes it can get a bit crowded xD Of course when I'm in Swansea they are gonna use it etc., so it's not just for me.

So now it's all nice and tidy which is probably gonna last for two days, three tops...
