Carol made a magnificentcomment on a Russell Davies post about the effect blogging is having on mainstream media. Proving her point, there was roleplay on Radio 4 the other night that went something like this: "Did you have a nice day dear?" "Take a look at my blog, it’s all there" "But you’re here! We…

This is silly. For the love of God, will someone give Rob Mortimer a planning job! If you haven’t seen his blog by now, then shame on you, although you’ll have seen his comments enriching other blogs with useful stuff (he’s generous too). Hire him now, espescially if your outside Yorkshire, before he exposes my…

I hate the Weetabix ads showing me other ways to eat it (although I’m sure it’s perfect for fad dieting women), but it did remind how great Weetabix is, on it’s own with milk. Also, tea isn’t tea unless it’s made in a pot.

I like the drive to work since it’s a bit of ‘me’ time and the only place I’m allowed to play obscure Prince CD’s. On the other hand, I do miss all that reading I used to do on the train. The coffee is still rubbish though.

One of the best things about a photography studio in the office is that it’s a nice quiet place to sit people down for some quick one to one research. I was reminded today is that there’s no such thing as one homogenised mass market. Even for number ones. This is nothing new of course,…

That’s been the trick with so many no…

Heres an amazing picture of the super rare blue flash, just seconds before sunset. You’ll find more like this at  Earth Science Picture of the Day.

This article continues the discussion about our selfish future started by The Henley Centre. It seems that most people will be selfish if they think they can get away with it. Thanks to the internet, living alone more and other stuff, people are becoming more anonymous than ever before  and feel able to get away…

The Tate Gallery in St Ives is giving out these empty story boards to kids. Within the four frames, they can create pictures to tell their own story. The best that get returned will get displayed in the gallery.They also do Sunday workshops for parents and children. Next Sunday it’s pottery.What a great understanding of…

This mirthless,lazy, generalising ad got me a little perturbed. Why is it OK to perpetuate the myth that creatives are a bunch of bad tempered gangsters that will maim anyone with the temerity to offer an opinion?
