There’s a movement gaining ground in London at the moment. As Byron Hamburger spreads across the capital with breakneck speed (and eventually capsizing aging Hamburger Unions and weary GBKs in its wake), the joy of finding a decent hamburger in the capital is becoming less of a rarity. I’m a big fan of Byron. They’re [...]

Oh dear. We’re not off to a good start.
Guerilla Burgers opened last week, and we popped in for an evening burger on their second night.
You can still smell the paint on the walls and it’s nestled on James St where Tootsie’s used to be: a culinary black hole of touristic medicocrity. So keeping its youth, [...]

The first review of a short February weekend in Paris: William Ledeuil’s second French fusion outpost in a more user-friendly package.

Thinking about attending a supper club? Already booked but not sure what to expect? Read on for a guide on what to expect…

I know absolutely nothing about whiskey. Nothing at all. Zip.
So this past Wednesday’s Qype event at Whiskey specialists Salt was the perfect blend of intoxicating and informative.
Salt is at the south end of the Edgware Road (which to me is the border to the no-fly-zone of west London). So it’s a whiskey bar with a [...]

I will never forget the slightly queasy ride to Santa Barbara.

Back in March, whilst on a roadtrip through California with Rob, I squealed at the sight of the nearest In’n’Out Burger as it appeared on the horizon. Having already eaten merely hours, if not minutes, earlier (possibly at Denny’s), I just had to stop. The reason being, the 2×4 animal style is the best burger money can buy.

I didn’t manage to get a decent photo, because I was far too excited.

I then had to suffer the uncomfortable, over-stuffed and bumpy ride south. But it was all worth it.

Last week Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to be sent off to a very big hotel in the middle of Berlin for Adaptive Path’s UX Intensive training course / conference thing.
It was really rather special. Special enough to warrant a proper blog post, so off we go:
The Adaptive Path Experience
This is the first [...]

This past week was the Carsonified crew’s second biggest event, Future of Web Design in Kensington.
Traditionally, I’ve always preferred the vibe at FOWD a bit more than FOWA. It may not have the same globally recognised internet-rock-star line up, but the focus on creative brilliance is far more inspirational. There’s also less attention given to [...]

Hello.
I’m an iPhone.
I’m outside in the fresh air.
It’s raining, because it’s autumn and I’m in the UK.
Where it rains. Quite alot.
Especially in October.
Actually, scratch that, for most of the year.
I was designed in California where it only rains about twice a year. Look how dry it is there!
I am useless when I’m wet.
Touchscreens and water [...]

Well this was a weird one.

Young Guns are awesome.
Old Blue Last is chock full of manbag-toting fruits.
A very small proportion of people there were ‘fans’.
The rest were industry types. Therefore, not good.
FFAF were clearly bemused at the muted reception.
Gaz (of Hondo Maclean fame) the new bass player is great. Keepin’ it Valleyz.
This probably would have [...]
