2008 is doing a grand job of eliminating noise and embracing substance – I am sensing an optimism on one particular area that I have not seen for the past two years. This year, podcasting (for want of an alternate name) is finally forging onwards and upwards.
Is podcasting truly mainstream? Big media content is perhaps [...]

There’s a new tool in the box for writing these days – this post was compiled using it before being posted, and several other existing projects have been ported across. This new boy is called Scrivener.
I’m not entirely sure how this one slipped under both my and jEN’s radar as we are typically geeky in [...]

FishDog, AngelSpoon, and Kirk are three characters which have been with me for a few months now. They grew organically out of some random text insertions after becoming bored with sensible content for my Skype mood message (a status message visible alongside my Skype name in contacts’ Skype windows).
When Twitter came along, it seemed an [...]

The second episode – which is actually the first half of the first episode of our holiday diary – is up and ready to download: Short & Fuzzy website.
Thanks to me being a dumb-ass and forgetting the audio cable connector to distance the mic from the minidisc, the audio quality is rather poor compared to [...]

The image quality of the latest iPod is way better than I was expecting. So much so that I was able to use it as reference for a small watercolour. Normally using digital images would mean printing out references, but that’s a whole load of trouble getting the colour balance and saturation of the image [...]

I can’t say I miss the freelance developer life, but I do miss a bit of coding here and there. With the whole week off and an indulgently lazy four days behind me, it was time to get my teeth stuck into some non-commercial coding which I’ve been wanting to get done for months.

I have always loved blues above all other styles, both to listen and feel, as well as play. Finally I have found an excuse to start exploring new blues talent and let you know what I find. What is new blues? [...]
