Wiiiiiiiiiiii
My Nintendo Wii has been in a box for the last couple of months. But this weekend I had some mates over and we played it for a good few hours. It really is a very good thing. When glancing down my RSS feeds this morning (I think I was…
Smiley Semantics
I posted this a couple of weeks ago and commented on how I found it a big unsettling. Then this morning I think I twigged as to one of the reasons why I found it so odd. It’s this sign that I walk past every morning on the way to work…

Twitter Serendipity
I was looking at Dan’s Twitter feed earlier and I saw that he’d noted (whilst at Glastonbury) that the Klaxons sounded like, as I think he put it: “a bag of cats”. I went back to try and find the tweet as I agreed with it so wholeheartedly…
Bike Rescue – Business Genius
