I'm a huge fan of the TED education video series. One that really caught my eye the other day was from David Kelly, titled 'How do build your creative confidence'.

Random Visio tip for today (As I'm spending a lot of time in Visio at the moment).

If you want to resize the canvas area in Visio simply hold down the Ctrl button and move your mouse over the canvas edge. You'll see the Mouse pointer turn into a double ended arrow. Now click and drag the mouse to expand or contract the canvas.

You can also rotate the canvas by doing this.

In a similar vein to Matt Gifford's recent blog post on 'Moving on' (read more here: http://www.mattgifford.co.uk/moving-on) I have the pleasure of announcing that I'm off to pastures new.

I'd like to thank my current employer TDA, a marketing agency in Cheltenham, for the opportunities working with them as afforded me. It has been a really interesting and diverse period of my career and I've been exposed to some really prominent UK brands, covering a wide range of technologies and market sectors.

Going forward I am extremely happy to have accepted a role at Vodafone as a Technical Architect. I'm really looking forward to working with such a recognised brand, and it's a really exciting prospect working for such a technology focussed company, with like minded individuals.

So to wrap up, 'Thanks to the old, and here's to the new'.
