Spam of the Day

Checking my spam-box this morning, this one caught my eye…

A new and novel way to look at love and life perhaps.

More MySpace Scrawlings

I don’t know what it is about Shoreditch. But there seems to be someone who loves writing things on walls about social networking…

My Top Stuff of 2006

I’ve been thinking about doing a post on stuff I’ve liked in 2006, if you’ve got a blog it seems like you have to. But I didn’t know what to put in it or how to organise it. But I got re-inspired by The Design Conspiracy annual (a thing of much loveliness which you can [...]

It’s more than just a loo, with a space to chill, [...]

More Internet Scribblings in the Real World

What a shame.
From a pub toilet near Spittalfields. Which also had the great line writ large on the wall “England isn’t competitive”. Which I thought was rather profound.

2 Interesting Blogs

It’s nice when people you know start good blogs. It’s sometimes an interesting way of finding out more about someone than you used to know.
Cookie has started up made-in-england.org (I really hope the title isn’t a reference to that crappy Elton John song with a blue Ford Cortina in it), and Tom’s started hostler.com.
Both are [...]
