I was quite upset last week when I realised that the Mayang directory of free textures doesn’t seem to exist anymore :( There’s quite a good pool on flickr of textures here. Does anyone know of any other good source of textures? Now that everyone is sick to their back teeth of shiney web 2.0 looky feely, think textures are going to have their day again :)
Cookie & Paul are currently walking the 3000 mile long Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada.
Everything about the walk is on the following pages:
1. You can check on our progress here (or below)
2. You can find out more info about the trip here
3. You can sponsor us here
Tracking our progress right across America is no mean feet. Luckily we've had a good deal of help from the kind folks at Nokia, who supplied us with their latest N82 phone with Sports Tracker. It's what we're using to track our route with GPS, take our pictures and write our posts. Finally it's the tool we use to update the blog, whenever we get reception or a wifi area.
Made in England by Gentlemen is a blog written by Cookie, who generally designs websites, draws cartoons, drinks too much, grows a moustache and browses the web for interesting & amusing stuff. But currently the only thing he's doing is walking northwards towards Canada with his mate Paul, if you're not interested in my holiday pics ;) and were hoping for some visual eye candy, may I suggest you check out my girlfriend's blog: Monster-Munch.

smashing magazine had a reasonable selection a while back that I’ve managed to refind (not sure if refind is a word)…
