I feel the need.. the need for feeds.

I still make an effort to read the paper but I couldn’t help but notice this morning that whilst flicking through the Guardian magazines from yesterday, I seemed to need my macbook to supplement the supplements.I love the touchy-feely experience of leaning over the paper with a coffee, skimming the bits that don’t raise a [...]

With Family like this who needs enemas.

This blog entry was going to be something completely different to the one it is now. I was a little uncertain as to how ‘transparent’ a blog should should be and upon reading out all the intricacies of these last few days I then went on to delete all but the title. This is after [...]

Everyday I am amazed.

Everyday I see some new application, web based or downloadable that I didn’t see the day before. I now am fully aware that for me to keep up with all these new cerebral arrivals I would need an army of clones and as many mac book pros. Today in @sizemore‘s twitter post (tweet to those [...]

Facebook, Privacy and the Bermuda Principles.

Is it shallow of me that this current swing away from facebook makes me smile?In particular, I read Deek’s blog and felt a quiet internal fist punch the air whilst whisper-shouting “YES!” I can’t help but think it’s all still too late for those that did have an account and have now deleted, as they [...]

N0shIT

This time last week I was still recovering from sleep deprivation and the remnants of the hangover left over from the day before. The hangover was a souvenir from ‘up North’ and the great night put on by Phil Campbell entitled N0shIT (Nosh-It). This social media event was far more social than media and I [...]

Episode 39 – Freeganism

Now with his friend Bob and many others, he follows one of the paths of Freeganism, shopping from the backs of stores, without money, dumpster diving to utilize some of the many ton’s of waste food [...]

Media Reincarnated

This morning I got a link to a musical Jam I was a part of over 10 years ago in 1997. This was an impromptu get together of a few friends in an attic room in Rugby town UK. Everything was ad-libbed with only a bottle of wine for lyrical inspiration. The musical attendees were…Nathan [...]

Facebook's Jackbooted Thugs

When I wrote this article back in June 2007 I got a few emails telling me to stop being paranoid and just assimilate like everyone else… In fact I got many more emails in defense of facebook than I received in support of my concerns. Is the tide now turning? Or is there always going [...]

Our Man Inside – Twitter

I was listening to a podcast from the late great Philosopher Alan Watts and as my twitter stream passed before my eyes, his words just seem to fit.He had a beard, I have a beard and the tweeting you can hear is that of the Bearded Tit.(Pun Intended.)

Artistic Generosity

Well what can I say.. I was recently contacted by Iso Ban of the Blog ‘Iso Ban’s Journal‘. He is a listener to my Documentally podcast and dropped me a comment on my blog saying nice things and wanting to know how he could support the podcast.. Rather than say “Cold hard cash please..” I [...]
