Taking a little reverse chronological journey through my FNM back catalogue for the lulz after I read a recent (unrepeatable!) comment on YouTube on the ‘Evidence’ video. Extraordinary trip these boys have been on – it’s true…just listen to Midlife Crisis, Everything’s Ruined, Jizzlobber, Naked in Front of the Computer, Take this bottle, Ricochet….every goddamn [...]

Bouncy on the way out of Edina this morning with a 1st timer/nervous flier infront of me. Shame …she didn’t enjoy the trip and the pilot left a dent in runway at LCY when he came in?! Think might have let out a wee involuntary squeal ;0) Stunning over the downs this morning and beautiful [...]

“Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won’t know it, and may even vigorously deny it.” Richard Dawkins


So like WOL for your PC or Mac I think a mobile needs a ‘turn myself back on when someone calls’ capability…obviously you’d need to make sure that the numbers that CAN do the WOL answer were programmed somewhere but surely this is a useful feature for other dumbasses (such as myself) that have their [...]


Are you Gen-Y ? Great infographic on the generation we’re building technology, marketing products and trying to keep ahead of…It’s funny how many people I come into contact with on any given day who tick most of the demographics for a “post Gen-X’er” but profess to ‘not get’ facebook or twitter and have no time [...]

Just finished a great guising session this evening (‘trick or treating’ for my Merkin friends) with the kids and our neighbours families in the steading where we stay. We’re one of 16 homes and more than half of them have kids…so over the last 2 to 4 years all our broods have arrived and grown [...]

Nobody should start to undertake a large project. You start with a small trivial project, and you should never expect it to get large. If you do, you’ll just overdesign and generally think it is more important than it likely is at that stage. Or worse, you might be scared away by the sheer size [...]

Cross post from Seth Godin’s blog People don’t like deadlines. They mean a decision, shipping and risk. They force us to decide. Deadlines work. Products that are about to disappear, auctions that are about to end, tickets that are about to sell out–they create forward motion. Deadlines make people do dumb things. Every time I [...]

All geared up for an overnight flight back to the UK last night and sat waiting to get boarded when the plane outside gets closed up and the lights go out…Uh oh ! Sure enough the flight’s been cancelled due to the inbound leg getting struck by lighting as it came in to land…Nice ! [...]

Just arrived in Terminal5 on my way to Vancouver for a week’s workshops on a new project I’m taking on and other than the odd bit of hastily erected hoarding to shield one’s eye’s from unfinished partitioning the place seems pretty much done to me ! Firstly and of particular interest to me, is it’s [...]
