Hey,

Well i searched Google this morning, and now they have revamped their site! Slightly changing the layout on the homepage with new graphic buttons, but its the results pages which are most interesting…

There is a new bar on the left, which lets you filter your results further than ever before.  A new feature seems to be the filtering of shopping websites. You can now decide to either show fewer or more shopping sites. This could be a good thing, or maybe a bad thing for shopping sites, will this improve people buying?

I have tested this a little, and i have seen that if you select “show more shopping sites” some sites which i know are shopping sites do not show up, but appear in “less shopping sites”.

This new filter seems to not be working very well, i am not sure how Google is going to determine how a site is a shopping site, other than a webmaster telling the big G that they are/are not a shopping site.

Hey its 1st April, maybe its all a big joke doubt it though.

Heeey Blog!

On Monday i talked about getting a new camera, and said i had decided on the Sony HX5. And guess what…Its coming tomorrow!

It hasnt been available to buy in the UK from anywhere (or at least the big online stores), and yesterday Amazon got it in…They had 3, and i decided not to get it, and i would just wait. Later in the day i checked again and they sold them all! :O

So last night i checked again, and they got some more

I could have got it on Tesco Direct for £280, and i have £10 off from them, however they do not have it in stock, and dont really know when they are getting stock, it could be in 2 weeks.

I could not wait, so typical of me So i have got it from Amazon, for £301.

Heeey Blog readers, how are you?

I wrote about Sophie Reade the other day, when she was on Snog, Marry, Avoid….Well she was out at some celeb party and got snapped with Gary Lineker’s son George.

My god have you seen him?!!? He looks about 12!!!

I’ll have to get myself to some celeb party, London here i come

Hey my fashion lovelies!

So, i have had this Marc Jacobs t-shirt for a while now, and i bought it because it looked cool in the store. I love charcoal grey, really really dark grey, i think it contrasts with other colours well, and its not “boring black”.

I always thought the front was just a pattern, because when i wear it i am close to it and so i have never seen the face…So when i took this photo i was surprised to see that there was a face in my tee!

Maybe when you look at me in it you cant see it clearly, or maybe you can and people assumed i knew so didnt say anything, but i didnt know, because i cant tell when i wear it, and i cant tell when looking at it (as i would be too close.

The pattern is made up of normal print, and flock (thats a velour kind of touch). Its really nice It was £75

What do you think? This is one of my favourite tops to wear

Hey blog readers!

I posted about my wardrobe, and all my lovely high end clothing, but i needed some general everyday tops. I have so many high end tops and i think its a waste to wear them for everyday casual clothing.

Here are some of my tops which i love….

 
Armani thin sweatshirt – £95

Prada black long sleeve t shirt £110

Prada white short sleeve t shirt with pocket £110

Elvis Jesus Black T Shirt. £85

Heeey Blog!!

Another freezing cold rainy day in Newcastle. Anyway i dyed my hair last week, and this is what it now looks like. Very dark brown, my new colour.

What do you think?

I LOVE it! Besides, i have to keep up with everyone dying their hair dark brown, espeically the bloggers LOL

Heeeyyyyyy,

So, i have been pondering for months over which camera to buy; a DSLR, a bridge, a good compact…And finally decided on a good compact, and the one i am going for, the the new Sony HX5. Why have i disregarded the others? For me, i want a good camera (image quality) and it be pocketable. The HX5 is the smallest ‘best’ camera i think. Here are the ones i decided not to go for….

Not the Panasonic Lumix LX3. Why? There is a lens cap which i know i would hate. It is also a bit on the larger side, most things i have read are that its not really pocketable, you cant really fit it in your jean pocket. It probably is the best for the quality of images though.

Not a Canon S90. Why? It is small and pocketable, and has good image quality. But it is now old, and seems very plain looking, and doesnt have a great deal of features. The lens is fast, but not as fast as the LX3.Do i want to spend over £300 on one of these? Will the Image quality be THAT much noticible to a HX5? In sample pics i have seen, there is very little (if any) difference.

Not a Samsung EX1. Why? Well they arent available yet, and nobody seems to have a date. It looks good, but it seems like it is too fat, and also has an annoying lens cap again. Its also made by Samsung, not really a leader in cameras, so will it be good? It could be, the lens may be great, but i dont want to wait and take a risk.

Not a DSLR or Four Thirds. Why? It all comes down to the size and the price. Quality is no doubt better. I wouldnt say i wont get one, i just wont get one right now. I dont use a camera enough to justify getting one of these. When i get my Sony HX5, if i use it alot, then i will probably go for a DSLR.

That leaves my choice, the Sony HX5. Why did i choose this, well it has many good features such as GPS, HD quality video, its small, it uses SD Cards (sonly finally embracing the rest of the world), it has a sweeping panoramic mode to take some amazing pics, and above all it has a good lens/sensor, so should take some great pics. It isnt really available anywhere in the UK yet, but it should be within days/weeks, and costs around £300. Sony have a reputation of making a good camera, and they are using a CMOS sensor in this which is supposed to be good. I have seen sample pics from this camera up against an LX3 and S90 and there is little difference; So you get the best of the quality, with some cool features thrown in.

Hey blog readers!

How are you today? I am freezing!! Its so cold! What happened to spring being here?

According to the weather, its going to be miserable all week, and maybe even snow! :O WTF Snow, its almost April! Yeah i know we have had it in April before, but i thought all that white stuff was gone till the winter.

Woooooooah, Woooooooah, ooh, Mysterious Girl….

No, not really. What do you think of this girl, hot or not?

Here is another one of my now famous “pics from old mobile phones!” bit

The story is i knew this girl, who got me to take her pic. She actually said “take a pic of my so you can show your friends”…WTF?!?! Is this some kind of big-headedness kind of remark!? She really did think she was all that…I think she is alright, at best. Definatly nothing more, and not my type at all. She was sort of alright, but potentially hard work if you know what i mean.

What do you think?

The clocks have gone forward…Woohoo! That means Spring is here, and summer is coming

Its also a 4 day week, its Good Friday, and i am off work, then bank holiday Monday, so its a 4 day weekend, and thats a bad thing….Because i have to do more work on a Tuesday with being off all those days! I also have to do more on a Thursday before, since Friday is a holiday! So Easter holiday is really shit for me!

And i dyed my hair!!! Finally! No photoshop, no tricks, its dyed! I will post up pics sometime next week…I will tell you i nearly shit myself – I wanted it dark brown, and when the dye was on it was black!! When i took it off it has gone a nice dark brown, and i love it
