What If Email Was a Low Cost Airline?
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to stay on top of email. My inbox feels like it’s very ‘busy’ all the time. I’ve tried some of the zero-inboxy things and I kind of like some of it. But it’s all a lot of effort on my part. And it…
Fast DJ Setups – Another Reason To Love YouTube
I just love the mini-cults that you find on YouTube sometimes. This is my favourite find for a while. Mobile Disc Jockey’s setting up their rigs time-lapse style… And (love his YouTube overlay at the start – we should all use that…
Cap’n Jack Sparrow on The Train
Heading out of London Bridge this evening on the train. A pirate reading The London Paper. It’s not something you see every day. Honestly this is a genuine photo taken on my iPhone on the way home.…

New York Polaroids (From iPhone)
All I’m going to say is that I love Camera Bag. It’s an iPhone app that adds brilliant filters to the photos that come out of the shitty camera. I know there’s something a bit overused and cheesy about Polaroid effects. But there’s…
Do Not Erase The Internet
Spotted this on the whiteboard at the end of the office a few days ago. I’ve not shown the full details as it would be giving away some top secret next level code. Or something like that.…
