books to read by the pool – 2008 edition
It already seems like an age since Family Gill decamped to Orlando for 2 weeks of wholesome American vacation fun. (I still need to write up my thoughts/review/ramblings). But finally here’s the book review of what I read on hols. Bourne Ultimatum I’d seen all the films so decided to read all the books. ThoroughlyContinueContinue reading “books to read by the pool – 2008 edition”

Best Ugly. WTF? It’s a new book about restaurant design and architecture by AvroKO where the phrase is explained as: “… all things that are beautiful and charming in an off-beat, sometimes awkward manner.” I quite like that sentiment that not everything has to conform or be conventionally aesthetically pleasing. A day book for creativeContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 21.02.08”
digital evolution and daemons
MSN take a look at how the web is evolving including personal daemons. Which is a new term to me as a quick Google suggests it came from a Phillip Pullman novel. But they exist in other forms including the one in the article. Having taken the test on the Golden Compass movie link above,ContinueContinue reading “digital evolution and daemons”

In flight entertainment going a step too far? Virgin America have recently trialled an in flight IM service allowing you to badger the hell out of other passengers, probably the “hotty” 3 rows in front of you. Frankly I’d find this annoying as fuck as we say here in Blighty. But the general service seemsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 12.09.07”

Sublime is an ethical lifestyle magazine. But it’s not tree-hugging shite, actually some intelligent and refreshing editorial. Or at least the copy I skimmed through recently. Some quite strange tips in Francesca Beauman’s book for the ladies including this on orgy etiquette would you believe: “You mustn’t hog the best-looking person,” she explains in penetratingContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 01.09.07”

Quite a random collection today… Lots of bookish things about on the web and room for two more. Good reads lets you keep a track of what you’ve read and recommend etc. Read it, Swap It is a swap shop for books. After all, how many do you read twice?

I love this image of social circles that I found on bnox courtesy of Philippe. Explore the links in the bnox post, you will be rewarded. 60% of British bosses dream of sex during powerpoint presentations. See, it does make you go blind. “Abby is suffering a painful bum from being over-spanked” is possibly oneContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 14.06.07”

I want one of these. The guy who created it is a finalist on the ITV series, Tycoon. And my wife works with someone who’s selling them. And it’s in my lounge! But it needs batteries and I don’t have any. The excitement level is huge. The key question is: can I adapt it toContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 13.06.07”
