Well, maybe just the one.

Uncle Willy over at M$ is offering up Expression 3 (preview release) for free.

Expression 3 is a professional vector graphics illustrator tool. Think Adobe's Illustrator but with that slightly greasy microsoft feel.

Hey, if you're new to vector graphics, and you don't have the cash to throw about for illustrator (or you can't find it on the P2Ps -not that anyone would do such a thing; my faith in the human existence being worn blatantly on my sleeve) I suggest you give it a go.

There is only one catch - it isn't exactly free. You have to own a previous version of Expression in order to download it. Again, my faith in the human existence tells me that anyone who does click on that link, wouldn't use an email account from Dodge It and just download it anyway.

Yes.


-What do you want from me? A free IPod??

Given that I am new to Emo Blog, I figured I should drop the defences momentarily and open myself up to you all.

The top ten things nobody wanted to know about me:

10. I currently play for the NFL. I'm a strong safety.

9. Proving that professional footballers aren't just meat-heads who can poud you into the ground, I am a physics professor at the University of Warwick.

8. In 1964 I played "Crilly Duffy" in Donagh MacDonagh's Step-in-the-Hollow. I personally feel this was my greatest performance to date.

7. I'm also an internationally known printer, book designer, typographer, author, teacher and scholar. Sadly, I died in 1988.

6. Eight years after my death, I was the principal oboist of the National Youth Orchestra. My grandmother was very proud.

5. I currently reside in London.

4. You can bid on my autographed products at eBay.

3. I am a Priest within the Catholic church. I've yet to be involved in any sex scandal.

2. I am an African-American, yet my parents are white. I suspect I may be adopted.

1. I am a student in Ms. Jones' fourth grade class at Richmond Heights Elementary.

According to Google, this is who I am ... And damn proud I shall be!

-Or something.


On an entirely different note:

marlene and david, thanks for the welcome

-Wilson.

...and I have no idea what to write.

I wouldn't say that I was new to the world of blogging. However, I am somewhat of a stranger to maintaining a blog.

Wilson Written is my third attempt.

Currently, I am still playing around with the layout, getting things to how I like them. I'll be adding some graphics at some point...hopefully.

Until then, eat some cheese and let me know what you think!


-Wilson.
