The TRIP is the mental projection of my digital self. Including all areas of digital work I have been involved with, including Music, video, photography...
All good web pages must have the collection of absolutely useless pictures. Designed for no purpose other than to consume kilobits. And hopefully show off some of my Photographic skills. Web design skills, and uses one php script to drive the whole index. Also see the Photography section of the Silicontrip Website.
The Creative section of the TRIP is my imagination trying to run free. I have a fascination with sexual, spiritual and meta physical abilities, and these stories show it.
Part of the images directory contains some of my digital artwork. These images have been created or enhanced by myself, with the help of the 1s and 0s machine.

Amy brought the Hilux around today so I could pick up a drier. This got me thinking about all the manly domestic items around the house. I came up with three that deserve a mention.
Number 1 The Microwave oven. Now I've determined that in order for a house hold appliance to be considered manly it must have the following. High power consumption, most microwave ovens now come in at least 1kw (1000w) of power consumption. That translates into the more power it consumes the more power it is able to convert into Microwave energy. Now I know you are thinking that most guys like microwave ovens because you can put food in there and it's easy to heat. No, not at all. The best thing to put in a microwave oven is a CD you no longer want. Give it about 10 seconds and as us blokes like to say Arc it up. The second best thing to put into a microwave oven is a lit candle. As they like to talk about on Startrek, something called plasma. Well that's a candle flame is, plasma and just watch what happens when a lot of microwave energy comes into contact with it.
Number 2 The vacuum cleaner. Most modern day vacuum cleaners come in about 1400w or 1.4 kiloWatts of power consumption. Which is almost enough for it to stand on it's own in manliness. But the best thing about the vacuum cleaner, which is the epitomy of masculinity and that is. Man and a machine versus the environment. Like the lawn mower or a performance car. Man and his machine. Now I know that when you ask your fella to do the cleaning, he is probably sitting on the couch. Now he looks down at the floor and the first thing he thinks is. "there's no challenge in that. There's only a few bits of fluff on the floor, I can still see carpet. What kind of wimp do you take me for?" So it's not until he forgets what the floor colour is before he'll consider it worthy. However I found a soluion to this get a vacuum cleaner with a clear dirt container. I've got a Dyson and when I run the vacuum cleaner over those few bit of fluff on the carpet, I can look back at the dirt bin and say I did that. So a clear window into the inner workings of the machine is essential to manliness.
Number 3 the washing machine. Now this item doesn't quite cut it as far as I'm concerned. It does contain the word MACHINE. So it's off to a good start. However you don't buy one based on how much power it consumes (unlike a microwave or vacuum cleaner) It spend much of it's time rotating back and forth full of clothes and water. Sorry in my book that just doesn't do it. However I found out about something known as the spin cycle. Very little is known about the spin cycle because it is locked away behind red tape and consumer injury lawsuits. So whenever the washing machine is doing it's spin cycle and you lift the lid to look. The washing machine immediately stops what it is doing. I have heard that washing machines are starting to come with windows, so you can see this amazing event. But I do not have such a washing machine so have not discovered what wonders to put in it.
