Simple. Every day of the world cup to cook something based on the cuisine of one or more of the countries playing http://worldcupfood.wordpress.com

I know I’ve posted similar videos before, but I came across this one from a friend and since it refers directly to web design, and something I’ve heard a thousand times before, I thought it best to share this. Not directed at anyone in particular, unless you know who you are. Nuff said. Shorter than [...]

Today I promised Jon Hickman on Twitter a story about a mix tape. As it happens I have two, so here they are.
One
The year is 1985, Britain had just put the first man on the moon, spokey dokeys were revolutionising bicycle wheels, Margaret Thatcher had just released her first lingerie range and Sony had launched [...]

This week Royal Mail unveiled the 10 album covers they are releasing as stamps. This includes Tubular Bells, Led Zeplin, Coldplay and so forth. It got me thinking what MY choice would have been. After a short period of thinking sensibly I then lapsed into sarcastic and facetious, which is much more fun. So with [...]

Last night there was a cracking Halloween party at Fazeley Studios in Birmingham, luckily for us, where we work at Adhere. The evening consisted of;

the overly ornate and elaborate reception of the studios converted into a dark, candle lit dungeon of a room with cobwebs, hanging bodies, spiders and so forth

For those of you following the war coverage on ITN of the Fazeley Dog War you will be sad to hear that recent peace talks have broken down. In an unprecidented move from the right a barbed olive branch was put before the Dog Owners Association, only to be declined due, not to the content [...]

Last night we visited the annual beer festival at Bromsgrove Rugby club. For the first time for a few years the weather held out and it was fine, suitable for sitting outside and enjoying a few drinks and a bit of grub out on the grass. A fantastic selection was available but sadly I think [...]

My plan is to get people collaborating on stories online, with multiple branches from one initial chapter…
For 5 years now I have been writing collaborative fiction with two good friends of mine. We’ve stuck rigidly to one per year, around 1000 words per ‘chapter’ and a two week turnaround on each and every chapter. It [...]
