Ommwriter. You came into my field of view and I liked the look of you. Distraction free writing sounds good. You look beautiful and have some great sounding features. These are the first few words. Already, I'm missing…

Oldest trick in the comic bookI fell for one of the classic marketing ploys today. Free stuff. More precisely, the ol' "bread at the back of the store" technique. An old friend was running the show at Destination Venus today - Harrogate's graphic…
- Functional bloggage
Very nearly ran out of time to write a my 365 blog entry today but not quite. Just in after a full days work where I had a super nice lunch then de-constructed a project I'm working on. Its almost like I'm doing an…
- Cloud Atlas
We watched Cloud Atlas last night. The book flirted with me for years, I've had it in my possession a few times but didn't get round to reading it. The film version is impossible to describe as a whole - part action,…
- Daren the taxi driver / artist
We should all encourage my old friend, (yes old) to add more to his new blog : ** 60000 miles per year . ** He's an actual artist - an award winning Fine artist of a brilliant calibre ( par exemple ) who is undoubtedly…
A Midsummer Night's DreamLast Wednesday evening, I had a thought. I was stood in the magical grounds of St. Dogmaels Abbey (which I waxed lyrical about a few days ago in [[1-Projects/DragonDrop-Adventures/posts/2013/2013-08-01-abbey-watch|this…
- Smellography
I've often joked in meetings about how some ideas are a bit 'pie in the sky'. An example that I've jokingly referenced in such conversations (as a benchmark of the particularly untenable) would be 'Smell-o-Vision'. The…
Globe Theatre On Tour's King LearI may as well get this out of the way first: The Title Role of King Lear was played by Joseph Marcell, who played Geoffrey in the massive 90s mainstream TV hit : The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air . To be honest, I was a tad…
The Tea Chronicles"Oh? You're going to to a blog about it? A blog about a blogger?" said Felix (my son, age 14) just now. Charlie McDonnell, aka charlieissocoollike is a "Professional Internet Human" (his words), his content is pretty…
Claro BeesOn my way back to the car after a beautiful dog walk around Birk Cragg near Harrogate this morning, unexpectedly, I ended up learning a whole bunch of stuff on the fascinating subject of bees. I spotted a modest little…
Kodak Ektar 100Marketed as a professional film, Kodak Ektar 100 35mm claims to be "The World's Finest Grain Color Negative Film". The quality of the result it is utterly unique. I shot a roll mainly last weekend - mainly outdoors…
- Electro Jam
I actually look like I know what I'm doing here. Don't tell anyone that I make it all up as I go along. I popped along to 'Electro Jam' at Zoso last night and span a few tunes. A fun night. It's an 'open deck' night…
- AllanGate
My mate Allan had his 50th birthday this weekend and pulled a mini festival together to mark the occasion. For those of you who don't know him, Allan is a top bloke and I consider myself very lucky indeed to call him a…
- I've spent the day with Google people
Did you know, that every second, 500 hours of YouTube video are watched? I didn't this morning, but I do now, thanks to the time I've spent today with a some Google employees. I don't think they were aware that I'm such…
- 2014 Harrogate Festival Fringe
In the intimate climbs of Spiegeltent earlier this evening, Eirene and I had front row n center, for a talk by a Punk Rock elder statesman, John Robb. He talked about his (first hand experience) take on the roots of…
