Like a Virgin
It’s really odd. But since I’ve been away for a week on holiday I’ve found it really really hard to start blogging again. I’ve faced the blank WordPress interface a couple of times now, but I just can’t seem to do it. It’s not that I…
Some More Thoughts On Twitter
From Ian Curry at frog design: Twitter: The Missing Messenger He makes the connection between Twitter and Tumblelogs too. But there’s two bits in his post that I especially like. It’s basically blogging reduced to what the Russian…

Blogging Without Writing
I don’t think I’ve ever written about Tumblelogs before. Partly because I didn’t think I could figure out what they were or why they existed. But I think I’ve finally sussed it with a bit of help from this Wikipedia definition of…

Yacco Blogs
Nice to see that Yacco, Poke‘s new creative director, has started blogging. It’s early days, but I’m sure there’s going to be some nice things on there… I made a NetVibes tab that contains all of the Poke bloggers in one place. It’s quite…
I’m In New York
And it looks a little something like this… I’m going to Flickr my photos when I get back, but I couldn’t resisit posting this one. I shall call it simply ‘Irony’.…
Arcade Reality
This is very cool. I want to see more things that use phone camera’s like this. I don’t know why, I just do.
Evil Recruiters
Not all recruiters are evil, but lots of them are. In my inbox today I’ve got 3 unsolicited candidates from cold-mailing (i.e. spamming) recruiters. This is bad. And it’s unfortunate for the candidates as I’m not even going to look at…
