Blog: A Day In The Life
My blog, A Day In The Life, named in reference to the Beatles song, and because it sums up what my blog is about; any post is a snapshot of a day in my life. The blog was launched in July 2006 and is an ongoing journal (or even scrapbook) of the adventures and activities in my life. These include parkour sessions, mountain treks and various other adventures as well as technology, geek stuff and general observations and wonderings about anything and everything I embrace in life. I usually embed photos and YouTube videos in these blog posts, where appropriate.
You can click the tags at the bottom of each post (e.g. Parkour, Lisses, Google) to view the posts in those categories.

My Videos
I have a YouTube account (spkben) but it only contains the videos I made and/or uploaded myself, so I made a separate blog to post all the videos in which I am featured, to keep them all in one place. The videos date back to August 2005 and are shown in chronological order.
The videos are mostly parkour, but there are others in there too; you can click the tags at the bottom of each post (e.g. Parkour, Lisses, Peak District) to only show the posts in those categories.

Web Development
I offer my services as a freelance web developer - I design personal sites (such as this) as well as websites for small businesses and organisations. My services are very affordable at less than half the industry standard - complete websites from as little as £250!
My websites are compliant with the highest standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.1) which means efficient coding, speedy loading of pages, and Search Engine Optimisation.
My Photos on Flickr
I like taking photos and I showcase them on Flickr to share with others. I use a Canon Digital Ixus 70 (also known as Canon Powershot SD 1000). My photostream on Flickr features some photos I feel are artistic, some of famous landmarks I have been to, some of beautiful scenery as well as some of my friends at parties and other occasions.
You can view different sizes (right up to full-resolution) by clicking 'All Sizes' and you're free to download any of them.
