I’ve had the good fortune to sling some paint with some great people the last 2 weeks, working on a street art production in the Perth CBD.
I thought I’d brighten it up a bit with something nice as this particular bit of wall is in an alleyway that runs along the Armadale train line and resides in an alcove where nefarious persons get up to nefarious things. 
Met up with a great bunch of photographers this weekend in Fremantle, for the theme of “Light Painting”. Was a great night and picked up some awesome tips for some really interesting photography.
Here’s some of my efforts from the night…
Here’s a quick and useful technique for applying textures to shapes in Photoshop.
You can use this technique to make fancy fonts or texture buttons / panels for a website.
Here’s a bunch of handy links I’ve discovered recently..

This weekend I had pleasure of being part of a volunteer collective of models, make up artists, stylists and photographers for a group photo-shoot with the theme of “Burlesque”.
The girls over at Red Dusk invited me to do a time lapse of their work in the morning. I think this one of Rebecca Pavey turned out the best…
…followed by a full day of photography with the group. It was pretty hectic and a huge learning experience! Looking forward to doing it again.

I’ve been on a pie frenzy lately after a friend introduced me to her pie recipe… Curry pies, Chilli pies … I ask you, what can’t you put in a pie? And so the other day I had a craving for KFC and the idea was born… KFC Pies! Haha!
![[Delicious Pies]](http://paulwright.id.au/wp-content/up/2011/05/kfcpies-300x199.jpg "KFC Pies!")
They turned out awesome and very filling! I could only just get through one of them.
I estimate they’re just under about ~3000kj per pie – on par with a Whopper but much more satisfying if i do say so myself.
An odd request but one I was happy to find a solution for; how to disable the spellcheck feature globally for Mac OSX ? Of course, this solution is only for applications that leverage the systems spelling services e.g. TextEdit, Pages etc.
For other applications with their own built-in dictionaries YMMV!
sudo su
cd /System/Library/Services
mv AppleSpell.service AppleSpell.disabled
mv OpenSpell.service OpenSpell.disabled
Basically we just cripple the spelling services by renaming them. Easy.

It’s the easter holidays… hooray!
