Absolutely wonderful version of the Citroen C4 Transformer ad, which I loved. (Thanks Stereo!)

Wonderful opportunity for corporate sponsorship

April 29, 2005

Not an event. Not a product. But an entire city: Adidas Ababa. Can't go wrong, really.

Mush! Mush!

April 29, 2005

My head has turned to mush today. 12.35pm and I've done fuck all. Oh, wait, I printed out some stuff for my new bank manager, whom I have to educate regarding this whole blogging thing. The last one told me, and I quote, “I don't understand what you're doing, and I don't see how you […]

I wish my lunch was this long

April 27, 2005

Real 'out of office' reply received today: I will be out of the office starting 27/04/2005 and will not return until 01/01/2010. Wow, that's some holiday. I am way jealous.

Danger! 50,000 Nick Frosts!

April 26, 2005

You may remember that last year I showed a little bit of interest in a British zombie flick called Shaun of the Dead, so it probably won't surprise you to hear that when my mates Ewan and Cameron asked me if I wanted to help them interview Nick Frost for The Podcast Network's Movie Show […]

Whoosh!

April 25, 2005

I love it when deadlines have been successfully met. Or at least, not too badly missed. That's the best bit about writing – sending stuff off into the wild where people will rip it into tiny little shreds and send it back to you in the mail with a ransom note.

Worst dishwasher ever – the Zanussi Electrolux Timeline ZSF 6160

April 24, 2005

Regular readers will know that I don't often have a stab at particular companies or products, but I am driven to tell you that the Zanussi Electrolux Timeline ZSF 6160 is the biggest heap of rancid dingo shit I have ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. My parents got a new dishwasher […]

Decompression

April 23, 2005

Best way to decompress: Eight episodes of Battlestar Galactica back to back. The new series, not the old heap of crap. Bestest sci-fi TV series, er, evah, I think. Thanks for the DVD loan, Kate. Let's hope I don't get the bends.

Why am I awake?

April 23, 2005

I woke up again before 7am this morning, after only six hours' sleep. It's now 8am and the chances of me nodding off once more to blissful sleep are nil. (Well, it'd probably be less than blissful because my subconscious has been playing nasty tricks on me lately by making me dream that the thing […]

Evil

April 21, 2005

CVs are evil. Biographies more so. Whoever invented them should be taken outside and shot. Or maybe disembowelled. With a blunt spoon. I don't like writing my CV. Can you tell?

A prediction

April 17, 2005

I had a vision today. I saw my future. It was amazing – really clear, precise, accurate and other tautologies. I have no doubt that this premonition will prove to be 100% accurate. It involves typing. A lot of typing. Huge amounts of typing. And possibly RSI. You see, I kinda got this literary agent, […]

Another year older

April 15, 2005

So, here it is. Another year older. And no wifi here so I can't get online on my laptop and hang out on IRC where all my friends are. *pouts* But still, you know what they say, you're only as old as the person you feel, so today I am 24. *sniggers* Happy birthday me!

Some days

April 13, 2005

Some days just go wrong. They may start off well, but they descend into the slough of despond as time wears on, everything turning to crap as you touch it. I'm not triskadekaphobic, but I'm getting suspicious. Some days need you to log out and log back in again. Some days need a hard reboot, […]

April 12, 2005

My latest article about intellectual property, copyright and Creative Commons for web designers is out today in Issue 4 of Design In-Flight. Here's an excerpt: Who owns your portfolio? It might seem logical that you own the designs you create; but it's not always true. With the advent of the first graphical internet browser came […]
