"Hey! I'm getting The Stones here!"

So, it's been a while since my last entry. Unfortunately this was not out of laziness, it would just appear that the last few weeks have been rather uneventful and so I have had little that I think has been worthy of blogging. As such, this could potentially be a very short blog (but I guess we'll see won't we).
The title of my blog today comes from an interview with Mark Hamill that I was listening to a week or so ago. For those of you who may not know, I am a massive Star Wars geek and this month saw the long awaited Star Wars Convention known as Celebration V arrive at the Orange County in the United States. Sometimes I forget just how talented Mark Hamill actually is (most people only really knows him playing Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars Trilogy). It is easy to forget sometimes some of the fantastic voice work that he has done, perhaps his most well known being The Joker in the Batman: Animated Series of the 90's which he has reprised for other Batman related media also. For those interested in listening to the interview, either for love/intrigue of Mark Hamill or for Star Wars, you can find the interview here:

Also coming up on the 1st September is the next Apple Conference. Speculation is going on as to what exactly might be making an appearance there such as the next generation if iPod Touch as well as a new version of iTunes to keep people happy. There is also speculation as to Apple's new version of the Apple TV which I have never been much of a fan of as I fail to see it's point but we shall see if they do anything exciting with it if it is indeed revealed on Wednesday. But if I'm honest, the only reason I am excited for the conference is the possibility of the release of iOS 4 for the iPad
Now, iOS 4 was released a couple of months ago now along with the iPhone 4 but us iPad owners were told to be patient as we were told to wait until Autumn before our shiny tablets would be getting a makeover. For me it makes logical sense therefore that the iPad may very well be getting some shiny new features that are exclusive to the iPad. Here's hoping!

And finally, a few weeks ago my research book for my 'big project' of 2011 arrived in the post which excited me somewhat. However, my excitement was quickly reduced however when I realised that despite my A Level in Philosophy & Ethics, I did not have the smallest clue as to what Mr Guy Debord was trying to tell me. But I will just have to be persistent and hope I can decode his writing. So yes, to give you the first little clue as to what our piece will be about, the book I am reading is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord.

Until next time!

Shhh...I am trying to stay in character!

So, yesterday was a day of two great milestones for me. First of all, I saw Toy Story 3 at last and was very impressed with it. I had been told before hand that I reminded one of my friends of Mr Pricklypants and I will agree that at times I suppose people could see the similarities!
The second milestone was what was most exciting to me. It was a day out 6 years in the making to visit my friend Laura in Stoke on Trent for the day! Very exciting times! And there will no doubt be another visit either from her or from me again before too long. Let's not wait another 6 years at least!

Also, the new version of my website is now completed! After several weeks of working on it bit by bit it is now live and functional, courtesy of my friend David. Although the gallery is not yet loaded up but shall be before long once I have chosen the photos to go in it.
For those who saw the old version of my website, I have chosen to take a more personal approach to the website (although I doubt I'll ever lose the moniker of 'Wayne Ingram: Serious Actor" from my peers, it's been around far too long now. But anyhow, the website is more designed as a central hub for my creative and online activities. Most of the features are still the same however, it is mainly the content itself which has altered as well as the way that it is presented. And of course on the homepage is my new Twitter feed as I recently decided to give in to the Twitter-frenzy after vowing not to. So if you fancy following my on Twitter then you can go to my website and follow me from there.
The web address is still the same:

Thanks once again guys! Until next time!
