a,b,c,d,e,f,g, AITCH, i,j,k,l,m,n… Ladies and gentlemen, of the class of 1955 onwards. I may not be able to spell, my grammer is dreadful, my punctuation almost non-existant, but I am finally loosing the plot when people see incapable of saying the letter H correctly. As I sit on the train, the half-wit who is speaking [...]
Image via Wikipedia So, having left my analytical left brain job (or rather I will on Friday) to go and work in a more creative field, I was greatly heartened to read We’re not sporty, but when it comes to spelling we Indians are the bee’s knees, explaining why India (and China I suspect) are [...]

Got up and packed this morning (long train later tonight) and got to work early, so plenty of time to go through my Google Reader feeds. Much tasty goodness in there too. I love the idea of 7 in 7, 7 creative projects, one every day. Sort of artistic, sort of techie, all good clean [...]

Image via Wikipedia Good lord this train is hot, and smelly, and …empy. Well, take your wins where you can find them. The airconditioning is broken, so it’s basically as 180mph greenhouse. It’s so hot my eyeballs have dried out and I think the edges of my laptop are starting to sag a little. Certainly [...]
