Talking, training, documenting. Christian Payne consults & run workshops on networked narratives.
I can’t remember the last time I went out without my phone. I think it was in that brief period when I thought running would be fun. As many in the same like of work, I am not only attached to the device and what it can do, I’ve also become aware of it’s limitations. […]
Never buy bottled water again. (There is a version of this article on the Guardian) I’m pleased to say I haven’t had to buy bottled water for a while. There are so many reasons why I think we shouldn’t buy water in plastic bottles. For starters, it’s not good for us or the planet we live […]
While the world’s news is again preoccupied with North Korea, confirmation is seeping out of Washington that Assad has in fact used sarin gas on suburbs of Damascus and elsewhere, in what it calls a “small scale” chemical weapons attack. I’m not sure if 20+ people killed by chemical weapons would be considered “small” if […]
I’ve been trying to smooth my transition through airport security recently and in these couple of months I feel like I have it cracked. The time before the liquid restrictions came in seems like a different world. In many ways it was. Recently I’ve been to Austria, Turkey for a week, Sweden for four separate […]
There are no images of the iPhone 5 in this blog post. I imagine you have seen one by now and know what it looks like. This is certainly not the normal phone review due to some interesting realisations that forced me to change the way I look at comparing the iPhone 4s to the […]
[Disclaimer] This video is more of a quick look than a review. I have no personal connection with Tom Bihn and this bag was sent to me free of charge. I only paid import duty, but don’t let that lead you to think I haven’t been anything other than honest with my opinion. I already […]
ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/ The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way: “a fortunate stroke of serendipity”. Just like Aleks Krotoski in her BBC Radio4 series The Digital Human, I’ve been fascinated with Serendipity for a good chunk of my life. I don’t remember the first time I ever heard the word, […]
If my Granddad were still alive this year, we’d be celebrating his hundredth birthday. We often made fun that his birth was the second major disaster of 1912. When he died he took a thousand stories with him. And just as many songs. He was a guarded man. The few stories we shared only offered […]

I have too many fragmented places online. Breadcrumb conversations into cul-de-sacs. Ghost sites destined to be partially saved pages on the Wayback Machine. Only remembered when someone says..
"Remember Friendster.. MySpace.. Jaiku.. Orkut.. Plurk.. Seesmic.. Diaspora.. ADN.. Ello?"
Rebrand the NSA as the ‘Narrative & Story Archive' and we'd probably pay them to back up the internet.
Missed opportunity there.
It’s blowing a gale outside and the sideways rain looks painful.
Thinking now is a good time to try out @Po_Zu’s ‘edible shoe cream’. My footwear could do with the extra protection.
It smells delicious and tastes so-so. It’s organic virgin coconut oil and although I can think of a few toast toppings I’d prefer, you have to take your hats off to Po-Zu for going all the way with their ‘Naturally Different’ principles. This stuff does way more than just polish shoes.
