Nothing but No Net

Do you know how hard it is to find an internet cafe when you actually need one? Incredibly hard. I did find one. It is called the Devils grotto. We are about two days away from moving out of our house so the internet has gone. Goodbye internet. The cat has gone as well. Goodbye […]

A cathartic calamity

Please excuse me, this post may seem even more self indulgent than previously thought possible. I have to admit, not having a regular job has been agreeing with me. My brain has been turning over at such a high rate of revolutions that slipping it into gear has proven difficult. An Aquarian’s brain you see […]

Firefox 3.0

Today fellow luminaries of the internet we are going to talk about Firefox 3.0. Please be aware, I have been holed up at home for the last week so the inspiration levels have been lacking. Funny story though, I leapt out of the house to get some filing boxes yesterday and the checkout attendant commented […]

The Problem with Leaving…

I have set myself lofty goals for the future and increasing my blog adoption rate is a part of this. Now you are reading this stuff, so are not part of the problem. […]

Business Card Swapping

The humble business card is a useful tool. It adds padding to any cashless wallet. It can be folded to create hard origami creations. It can be used as a shiny but ineffectual way of getting your details to someone you admire. In a pinch they can be used to help start a fire. During […]

Horseplay?

So there I was taking a 40minute break from poolside living, endless banquet food and dial a drink. It was 7am in the morning, not an altogether disagreeable time for healthy pursuits. I was feeling pretty good with myself when I spied this sign. Obviously 4/5 recommendations are pretty self explanatory for someone who has […]

Tech Tools for Traveling

I have been researching ways to increase the worldwide infection rate of my smile inducing & thought provoking writing. I have learned with some effort that a moderately successful method is to create link bait. That is, provide a list of useful links and tools that people will find whilst searching the web and hopelessly […]
