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, [...]

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

Those responsible for the larks of the Twestival Twitter meetup are at it once more. The first batch of tickets for Twestival London were released this afternoon.
There are more coming later this week apparently. There was one major usability problem – so I grabbed the Flip to film Kai booking his ticket.

So please [...]

Me and most of the London tech collective attended the Future of Web Apps conference in a cold and desolate part of docklands this week. I’m going to post a series of thoughts on it over the next week or so.
On the way from crappy hotel to Excel on Friday morning, I shared a bacon [...]

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 [...]

Future of Web Apps starts next week. Exciting.
Probably my favourite event of the year, and in 2007 it was partly responsible for helping our team really push forward. Just like a really great conference should.
So here’s my (unashamedly honest) FOWA todo list.
