You will have noticed that I stopped the 30 days thing on Christmas Day. The things you have missed are a detailed recap of my week, month and year followed by my hopes and dreams for the future, followed by closing with another dose of whatever took my fancy. While I’ve tried to be relaxed [...]

30 Days – Day #25: My Day In Detail
December 25th, 2009 No Comments
Well, I woke up, scratched, swung my legs out of bed, put one foot in front of the other, etc etc. Yeah. You don’t actually need all the detail, do you? I’ve had a bloody lovely day. Bucks Fizz and a croissant, the company of my family, a phone call with my grandmother, a turkey [...]
30 Days – Day #24: The Holiday Season
December 25th, 2009 No Comments
The holiday season is in full swing, and while you’ll hear all about my day in full boring detail later, because that’s the next topic, I thought I’d use this “whatever tickles your fancy” to talk about the holiday season in general, and what it means to me. I’m not religious in any sense that [...]
30 Days – Day #23: A Video
December 24th, 2009 No Comments
Playing catchup. Longer post tonight, probably. Anyway, I know the meme said “YouTube video”, but I like Vimeo more, and I particularly like this video, about the unseen digital ghosts that haunt our world. Immaterials: the ghost in the field from timo on Vimeo.
30 Days – Day #22: A website
December 22nd, 2009 No Comments
Just one? But I’ve worked on so many… Debenhams was the first website I ever did any professional work for. This is Local London was the first website I was responsible for the upkeep of. ipoints was the first website I ever really enjoyed working on. I’ve spent the last few years working on a [...]
30 Days – Day #21: A recipie
December 21st, 2009 No Comments
3 pepper pasta with chorizo. Serves 4. This is something I cook quite a lot – it’s easy to vary the ingredients a bit, depending on what I have in the cupboard and who I’m cooking for. I suspect this will make a lot of the more serious cooks on my friends list cringe, as [...]

30 Days – Day #20: A Hobby Of Mine
December 20th, 2009 No Comments
I skipped past photography yesterday. I’ve talked about roleplaying before. That’s the big two out the window, right there. I’m honestly not sure that blogging counts as a hobby, and nor does pissing about on the internet. So here’s a thing it honestly surprises me to be writing about: cooking. I love food, this much [...]

30 Days – Day #19 – A Talent Of Mine
December 19th, 2009 No Comments
I take pretty pictures. I’m sorry this isn’t a longer entry, but I’ve had a busy Saturday already, I have a cold, and I urgently want to take to my bed in order to prevent said cold from wrecking me, because I have stuff to do tomorrow, and I’ve got to be in work next [...]

30 Days – Day #18: Design
December 18th, 2009 No Comments
There’s been a lot of stuff about Art in this meme. There’s been precious little about Design in it. I like design, and back in the early days of this iteration of this blog, I spent a short while explaining what I think its relationship to Art is. So having skipped past the need for [...]
30 Days – Day #17: An Art Piece
December 17th, 2009 No Comments
Well, I’ve talked before about one my favourite works of art, Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain. So my obvious choice is out. So let’s talk a little, instead, about my favourite painting, Wright of Derby’s “Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump“. Mostly, what I love about it is the quality he’s given the light. I [...]
