Kieran dances to the Scissor Sisters..

Kieran loves the Scissor Sisters... Everytime we put the TV on, and "I Don't Feel Like Dancin' " comes on, he gets up and starts showing his dance floor moves (I can't say I blame him, I think it's a fantastic song). I recorded him earlier tonight on my mobile phone (I apologise for the awful sound quality), and wish to share the clip with you all. Just click on the picture above to start the streaming video.

My favourite part is half way through the video where he looks like his clicking his fingers to the beat of the music..... you'll see what I mean!

Update - 18th September 2006

I've had reports that the video doesn't play on certain computers. I've tried it on a few PC's at work and at home and I've been getting a mixture of some that work and some that don't. I think that as long as you have the lastest version of Flash Player installed (9 I think), it should play ok. Shoot me if I'm wrong!

Should I be worried?..... (Part 2)

After last weeks post regarding Kieran wanting to always wear Michelle's shoes, this picture was taken at playgroup during the week.... Kieran pushing a pram!!!!!!! AND IT'S PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Please note, I am only joking about being worried - its perfectly normal for little boys to play with prams and dolls (hey, I admit, I did it when I was little), just like it's normal for girls to play with toy cars, and stuff like that!

Ready.... and...... Breathe

Here I am again, with another song!

First of all, you've all probably noticed that I have had a play with the design and layout of my blog - I hope you all like it.

Back to the main reason for this post
-------------------------------------------

Actually, this song isn't entirely mine - whereas I prefer to write my music from scratch, this one was put together using the Digimpro software (very quickly may I add). I tend to stay well clear of these 'remix' programs where you simply drag loops and samples onto a grid to make the song (ala Dance Ejay) as I don't think there is one bit of creativeness in the finished songs, but what the hell!! Actually, after saving the finished song, I did run it through my music editing software and added a few of my own bits here and there in the song to make it a little more unique, so its a kind of collaboration effort!

Anyway, I'm putting it online here because I liked the finished result so much.

May I present to you - Erasure's Breathe - The Wilson Remix.

Full credits go to Erasure - Andy Bell and Vince Clarke.... The masters of synth/pop music! (and my inspiration!)

Better beta?

After serious consideration (oh, and Dan telling me that I should do it), I've opted to go with Blogger Beta. So far the switch over has been a success, (if you are looking at this, then it works!) and it doesn't look like I've lost anything. I'll see how stable this one is, and if I don't experience any problems with it, then I might just stick to it rather than code my own blog.

Speaking of betas, I've managed to get the latest Beta build of Windows Vista from a Microsoft Technet seminar (thanks Graham!). Do I risk installing it on my desktop or laptop? It comes on 2 DVD's (one for x86 systems and the other for 64bit systems). I did have a copy of an early build quite some time ago (shortly after it had renamed from Longhorn to Vista), but it wasn't that stable and made my laptop almost unusable.

Hmmmmmm...

Working again!

My blog seems to be working again - I think I may still code my own blog entirely though. In the meantime, I'll carry on using www.blogger.com

There may be trouble ahead....

Uh oh... Looks like Blogger has messed up my blog - It seems that whenever someone visits the blog, it doesnt display properly and doesn't show the more recent posts. As I write this, I'm not sure if this test post will work, but if it doesn't I think I'm going to ditch Blogger and just create my own blog from scratch on my webspace - at least it'll be more reliable!
