Hello. If you read Becca’s blog or my Twitter feed you’ll have realised by now that we’re going on holiday. It’s our first holiday since September 2009 so we’re understandably quite excited. By quite excited, we packed our suitcases last Friday. We don’t fly until Wednesday. Excited is an understatement. So we’ll be leaving for [...]
I’ve always been a big believer in having individual communities for individual interests, yet I’ve always maintained quite a homogenous collection of networks. In fact ask any of my Wolfstar employees and any one of them could name a time when I stood up and declared “I only have my own self, split across multiple [...]
Check your watch. It’s Friday. So here’s a mixtape that you must listen to, it is good. To prove this you must listen to it. Primary 1 – Nicolai’s Rave Micachu and the Shapes – Lips NODZZZ – Highway Memorial Shrine Yeasayer – Ambling Alp Three Trapped Tigers – Untitled 5 Holy Fuck – Super [...]
Just as a sort of semi-personal update, here’s the stuff I’m upto and into at the moment; The Essential Chomsky Spotify playlists – latest here Chaos theory Krugman’s Effective Frequency Applying critical theory and literary analogies from the 19th century to social media Spider and the Flies Dadaism Watching this list of horror films Modeselektor [...]
I’m beginning to become a fan of photo and video. Video because it’s fun to watch Paul make a fool of himself making elephants out of balloons and because it’s fun to make Becca feel silly. Photo because I really like the idea of sharing where I’ve been so that maybe you might go too. [...]
So I’ve neglected my blog for a while. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those ‘Oh God, I’ve just been soooo busy’ posts. I work smart, not hard (I do work hard, honest Stuart!). It’s official; I’m going to write more stuffs. It’s also going to be redesigned and probably renamed (more on that later [...]
I’m finally being brave enough to post my political compass… Judge me at your peril. If you have any comments, questions or criticisms; fire away!
I hope that you appreciate the irony in this post as it’s meant, because it is meant. I’m sat on the train to London and East Midland Mainline don’t provide wi-fi or power points. And I’m sat in the quiet coach. None of these things really work with me, I’m no good without something to [...]
[DISCLAIMER: CLIENT] I’m in London this morning to help Sony Ericsson launch its GreenHeart initiative via a Kyte webcast – I thought I’d share my morning with you all; frantic, hot, geeky. Here’s the player, and if you’re into mobile phones, green technology or the environment then you can embed the channel into your own [...]
OK, so this is a little bit contentious. Everyone harps on about follower numbers don’t matter this and it’s not a popularity contest that. For certain people, it is. And it should be. Let’s ‘unwrap this a little bit’.
We’re getting closer to the end of the academic year and dissertation deadlines are either fast approaching (just ask Kristen, my new best friend, who’s a few weeks away) or have just passed (cue sigh of relief, only to be quickly followed by the immediate realisation that now you have to find a job). Those [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I suppose that’s a good thing… You wouldn’t want me to get all up in your grill or something cool like that. While I’ve not been too vocal, I have been watchful (feeddemon this, twitter that, email this, facebook that) and I think I’ve noticed something that [...]
OK, this is a bit of a vent. I hate certain types of blogging (if you’re expecting names, numbers and such like, ring me but I wont be putting them in print – it’s the paper trail and such like!). I blog because I like to write, I’ve got a bit of an audience (that’s [...]
Sally has tagged me in this bloody awesome meme. New music? Check. Sharing? Check. Getting to tweak a playlist for hours on end? Check. The only way the meme could be improved would be if it came with free beer, and I can’t criticise Sally for that. It’s not her fault the technology doesn’t allow [...]
