Making Do
The most excellent Giles who is the creator of the most excellent Edward Monkton posted a link in the comments section of the Bonfire of the Brands post. But it’s such an excellent link that I thought I had to float it to the top. Robert…
Hugh MacLeod’s On Fire
Well not literally, although he could be. Although if he was he’d probably have Twittered about it. Visit http://www.gapingvoid.com/ for his latest bout of back-of-business-card cartoonism. One that made me do a super-chuckle:…
Bonfire of the Brands – Book Soon
I was chatting to someone the other day about whatever had happened to Neil Boorman’s book – Bonfire of the Brands. As I understand it, it’s the process and results of his self-inflicted experiment to give up all branded stuff…
Overheard – Quote of the Day
I share a table with 2 techy types – I’m not going to name names ;-) This morning overheard a great little snippet from a conversation about how it’s difficult to get back into ‘code’ after a long weekend. Yeah, the human brain wasn’t…
Toshio Iwai’s Tenori-On From Yamaha

From tonight’s Eastenders on BBC1: “You’ve got great taste, You’re cute, You live in Brighton, I’m sorry, you’ve got to be homosexual” Hang on a mo… That’s a bit of a leap isn’t it… ;-)
Like 2ManyDJs (Only Better)
I’m liking the sounds of the Streetlife DJs a lot today. They’re like a UK version of 2ManyDJs only perhaps a bit more dance-edged, but still with tons of eclecticism. From their Podcast description: Stewart Rowell and Louis Gaston are…

Are You A Synthesizer?
Yet another great post from the Logic + Emotion blog. I’ve been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks. But been struggling to find anything to say anything about it. I think that’s because it’s such a good post. It’s all about the…
Arrested for Broadband Theft
Blimey! From today’s Argus Lite (the Brighton equivalent of Metro)…
A Tale of Modern Blog Blagging
I got an out-of-the-blue email a couple of weeks ago asking how much I’d charge for a text link from my blog. I thought about it, then realised that I had no idea. I know a bit about CPM and CPA numbers and I know how much traffic I get…
