Me biscuit’s fallen in me brew
I have decided to try and revive 4pm tea in a personal revolution. Today has been no exception so I dutifully made my way to the kitchen to boil the kettle. On the way back I noticed a few biscuits so decided to grab a couple for the full English effect. Oh how stupid. I [...]
Seasick Steve
I’ve started turning my musical tasting sights to the blues. There is so much out there though, do I wade right in with the obvious? Or go straight underground? I don’t know.
I saw a guy called Seasick Steve at The Big Chill festival this year (when people introduce him, it sounds like C-16, beware). He’s [...]
This microphone is Microsoft’s
Ok, try this, if you’re a techy anyway. Try and type microphone without thinking about it. Every time I type that I start with Micros, then have to delete the s and then type phone. Not good!
Please stop it Gillette
This is a popular one, and kind of follows from my last post about tech hype. But I have to rant about this one.
Will Gillette ever stop adding more blades? Wilkinson sword, you’re no better. Ok, ok, I know, grooming products have to move on so you can sell more new products. But you got [...]
Tech Hype
“XOHM is official, is coming, is already overrated” is what I read this morning. “the internet is on the verge of another revolution” is what marketing people are saying. XOHM is Sprint’s (a mobile provider in the States) WiMax service, which has had its fair share of hype.
I’m actually not hugely interested in this though, [...]
Carlsberg don’t do litter…
I’ve just read something beautiful. Carlsberg have had a great advertising campaign since starting to do “Carlsberg don’t do [insert here], but if they did, they would probably be the best in the world”. If you aren’t familiar, here is a clip
Today they have taken it a step further and into the real world by [...]
Alerific
In the last few years, as I go from being a man to a grumpy old man. I’ve realised my tastes are changing rapidly. I’ve never really cared for beer that much. Wine, I have to admit, is ok. But it’s never been the drink of the Gods that a lot of people claim, “it’s [...]
Open Pandora
You’ve probably heard of Pandora by now. At one point I’d get multiple emails from different people with a link to the site
I’ve been quite impressed by it, the one thing I thought would be good is if it could be independent of the browser. Well, after being told by a colleague, I have found [...]
Code Street
I saw this street sign the other day as I walked from Brick Lane the other day. I love practical street names, but this made me smile. Code Street? If I could now find “Programmer Avenue” or “Javacsript way” even “Developer Pass” I’d have a collection.
Downloads vs. other formats
I’m in a bit of a decision rut at the moment. I’ve been a member of emusic.com for about 6 months now and every 4th of the month I get 40 track points so I can download to my heart’s content.
While I am a fan of the service, one of the best there is, especially [...]
