Smack!
I’m in one of those work frenzy holes, no spare thought cycles for anything. So here’s a scan of a piece of stationary that I’ve got in my desk. It’s an envelope that I got in Japan years ago. I never knew what it was trying to say, I…
Blogging From An iPod Touch
It’s silly but I had to do it
The Most Creative Website Ever
I’m doing some pitchy type stuff and ran out of inspiration so I typed into Google “most creative website ever” hoping that I’d find something to inspire me. And I came to this post about the most creative website I’ve seen in a long time…
Blogger Relations – Learning By Doing
I just got a nice mail from the people I mentioned (or rather didn’t mention) below. It went a bit like this: With head hung suitably ashamed, a very valid response to my earlier request – you’re right, blogger relations is certainly an…
Blogger Relations – Digital Agencies Suck at it Too

My First Post…
As a mature 35 year old. And I’m celebrating already. Not because it’s my birthday (today the 28th Sept, if you’d like to send gifts). But because I’ve been given the temporary accolade of ‘Best Link’ on BuzzFeed (for a bloody obscure post…
