I used to think I was a good looking man. And smart, and talented. I could sing, god damn it. All my life, “oh James, what a voice.” “You’re really going places. One day, I’ll be able to say I … Continue reading →

Do we need them? I went for a group interview at a company I love the other day. Even so, there was the distinct, familiar and slightly disconcerting feeling at I had entered the mouth of a machine. Or maybe … Continue reading →

I’ve been looking for an excuse to introduce the world to Knife Party and the brand of electro-dubstep they represent. You’ve probably heard of Skrillex (2011′s hit “Bangarang”), perhaps even seen pictures of his thick black glasses and half shaven … Continue reading →

Everyone disagrees with you on some level. Perhaps you’re even less agreeable than average. The point is, there’s a fine line between caring for others feelings and worrying what they think about you. It’s not productive to live in fear … Continue reading →

All your young life you’re told you’re laying foundations. It’s true. But what kind of foundations do we lay? Are we building a future based on fear? Are we choosing well worn paths in life simply because we’re told we’ll … Continue reading →

“Did you hear about Boston?” a friend asked. Yes, I heard. It barely registered, until countless people and media started blathering about it. The truth is I was desensitised to this a long time ago, desensitised to the imaginings of … Continue reading →

Just a little statement of intent for the future, as I move into a new phase of life. 1. Work No matter what work I find, I’ll be grateful and do my best to perform the job asked of me, … Continue reading →

This idea isn’t getting any clearer at the moment, but I wanted to share anyway. It’s kind of a false dichotomy. Passion and responsibility shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. But it’s not that easy to navigate real life and not loose … Continue reading →

Can’t sleep. Want to share my vision for my little makeshift restaurant, and also talk about the reasons this vision is so important to me. Need to share it before it disappears into the mist of uncertainty that currently threatens … Continue reading →

Technically, the absence of meat, dairy and egg should give food a head start taste-wise. Using purely plant-based ingredients it should never prevent food from being delicious. Yet somehow it does. I’ve never thought of myself as a foodie despite … Continue reading →

It’s easy to believe everything worth doing has been done. The truth is that your view of the world is unique, and the people around you expand their own view when you communicate yours to them. Today I photographed clouds … Continue reading →

If you like: music to sound good, good design, minimal clutter, moving around, you’ll love the TDK Life on Record A33 Wireless Weatherproof Speaker. I only review the best things on this blog. Out of the range available, the TDK … Continue reading →

Those inquisitive children who never grew up, never stopped wondering how the world works, never stopped playing with rain gauges and staring at rocks and leaves. Without them we would be even more at a loss to explain, let alone … Continue reading →

I loved this video. It was one of those links where you’re not sure of the contents but you click anyway. Jacob Barnett is refreshingly interested and excited about life, focussing entirely on his passions, which is the genius of … Continue reading →

1. Don’t expect customer “support” for your business. It sounds rough, but why should people, who are already under pressure dealing with their responsibilities in life, give you a leg up. Adopt the mentality which says It’ll work out if … Continue reading →

I’m spending the better part of this evening figuring out what’s going wrong with AliDark.com’s wordpress. My suspicion was roused when the category feeds didn’t work, and I couldn’t upgrade. I believe this is the age old problem of having … Continue reading →

I’m glad for all the negative press around the Hobbit, because my experience watching the actual movie was that much better for it. I was ready for a long, gruelling haul of a film that made the things I love … Continue reading →

I just finished playing through Crysis Warhead, referred to as a single player first person shooter. It’ll be the last game in which you shoot people I’ll ever play. I enjoyed it for the strategy, as I always do. Shooting … Continue reading →
