clipped from ttyc.co.uk
Hi,

Bristol Music Festival has recently started to work towards a new event for 2008, and is currently attracting public and media interest with thousands already visiting our website.

We are staging a competition for graphic designers, to create our branding that will be used on our website, on literature and marketing.

By December we are expecting around 25,000 visitors a week to our website, and have already appeared on BBC Radio Bristol, GWR FM, Star FM and in Venue Magazine.

The winning designer will get extensive free promotion on our website, and two Access All Areas passes to the event in July next year.

The closing date for entries is Monday 20th August at 6pm, and is open to local businesses and freelance designers alike.

Please send your completed work to the email address found on our website.

Thanks for reading and supporting The Bristol Music Festival!

Man turns down $5,000,000,000 (that’s 5 Billion) to save ancestral lands

I would love to say that I would make the same decision, but damn- that’s a lot zeros coming after that ‘5′. Big props and much respect to Jeffrey Lee.

JEFFREY LEE is not interested in the soaring price of uranium, which could make him one of the world’s richest men.
“This is my country. Look, it’s beautiful and I fear somebody will disturb it,” he says, waving his arm across a view of rocky land surrounded by Kakadu National Park, where the French energy giant Areva wants to extract 14,000 tonnes of uranium worth more than $5 billion.
Mr Lee, the shy 36-year-old sole member of the Djok clan and the senior custodian of the Koongarra uranium deposit, has decided never to allow the ecologically sensitive land to be mined.
“There are sacred sites, there are burial sites and there are other special places out there which are my responsibility to look after,” Mr Lee told the Herald.
“I’m not interested in white people offering me this or that … it doesn’t mean a thing.

“I’m not interested in money. I’ve got a job; I can buy tucker; I can go fishing and hunting. That’s all that matters to me.”

Thanks to the internet many people who would previously been too embarassed to write and showcase poetry can do it without hesitation. They can anonomously post their work to get the critique and praise they would like to hear from their peers.

It’s a wonderful thing that people can freely express themselves and their hobbies, but with all of that newfound talent and beauty, their is also a downside. There are more and more people who have no clue what the true meaning of poetry is. They can rhyme words, but they can’t do what the real poets do. Make the reader feel emotion, feel what the poet feels. They cannot paint a picture in the readers mind, they cannot change someones view on life with an expertly crafted crusade of emotions, that is what a true poet does. Read the rest of this entry »

StumbleUpon Exchange

My friend Luke has just unveiled a new web site called StumbleUpon Exchange.

If you’re not familiar with StumbleUpon, it’s a toolbar for your web browser that allows you to rate web sites and to also view web sites which other StumbleUpon members have rated.

As a visitor, StumbleUpon can provide you with almost endless amusement as you are taken to web sites which you would not otherwise be able to find. As a webmaster, StumbleUpon can be an incredibly effective tool for building web traffic.

StumbleUpon Exchange is a web site where webmasters can trade “Stumbles” with each other, which will result in increased traffic to both web sites.

I receive thousands of visitors from StumbleUpon every month. If you’re a webmaster, I recommend that you check out Luke’s new site.
