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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

November 11, 2007 by · Leave a Comment

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 [...]

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.)
