In late March, my buddy Rob and I are heading to California for a bit of a Spring Break Bad Behaviour roadtrip.
Consequently, there’s been a flurry of emails back and forth to organise the specifics (flights [booked], hotels [not booked], where to eat burgers [everywhere], OMG my passport has expired [oops], that sort of thing).

We’re in the middle of trying to find a new guitarist to join our band, and thought it would be fun to do a cover song for the auditions. It means we all learn something new instead of asking someone to learn stuff off our EP and then be forced to play it ceaselessly for [...]

I’m still on the mailing list for the block I used to live in throughout 2007 up until March of last year. I got this absolute corker through this morning:

I’ve just done a big post over on the worky blog about using Facebook to fundraise.

I just had my first anniversary.
Last November, I switched from PC to Mac.
Violent MSFT dissent. XP no more. So long, spyware. Etcetera.

So please [...]

As I write this, my sysadmin and his line manager at work have both made a pilgrimage to the Apple Store.  So it’s been about three days, and I’m man enough to admit that I really, really want one of the new MacBook Pro’s.
Glossy screen or not.
My current machine is 11 months old now. It’s [...]

It’s Blog Action Day.
A groovy social media online post-gasm where thousands of bloggers sound off on a collective subject, which this year is poverty. A fitting topic for downturns and stuff, even though many of us aren’t feeling the pinch yet.
Ironically it’s also the day that most of us Mac fans are eyeing up the [...]

Last night was the inaugural Harvest Twestival; organised perfectly by Amanda and Ben and sponsored, in part, by us.
It was the best meetup event I’ve been to for a long time. If not the best night out for ages.
The London Twitter crowd are a genuinely lovely mix of people. A vibrant mix of creatives, webby [...]
