Egads Brain, Nanowrimo really crept up on me this year. It starts tomorrow! Normally by this time I would have at least an outline and a tentative title for whatever I wanted to spent the next thirty days churning out. I must admit the temptation to just give it a miss this year is mighty. However I like doing the nano, I think it's good for me, it feels good to create something, and I would like ...

Picked up from Tom, the 100-most-popular book meme, where you bold what you've read, italicize what you intend to read/re-read, strikethrough what you never intend to read/reread, and underline what you loved. I don't reread many books, even if I love them, there are just so many more out there, so I don't think I'll italicize anything I've already read- except maybe 1984, which I should read agai ...

Well, Film Fest is on us once again, and this year we're determined not to let it slip by us with too many films unwatched. That doesn't mean we're going to do what some friends are doing and take two weeks off just to watch every film on the schedule (much as we'd like to), but we will be seeing a lot of movies. I'll keep the schedule updated here- if anyone wants to join us at any of these sessi ...

Friends, We are doing a night of shooting for our latest video this coming Thursday evening (the 6th) and we need EXTRAS. I know you?ve all dreamed of being in a music video your whole lives well now is your chance! We need as many people as we can get so bring your friends if they share your dream. It should take only a few hours to shoot and there will be beer and snacks for all comers- it?s re ...

Here's a meme, nicked from Pix some long time ago and then promptly forgotten about until now. Head on over to flickr for an annotated look at my bookshelf, and feel free to add any notes you feel are appropriate. The thing is, though, I don't like holding onto books once I've read them. In fact, if I think they're any good, I usually do my darndest to give them to someone else and insist they ...

The ludicrously lovely Rockit has assigned herself a rather cool little project for her blog, she's IMterviewing various other bloggers and posting the transcripts for your elucidation, the first of which is up now and is with, well, certainly one of my favourite people, me! I am eagerly awaiting her bound-to-be-upcoming IMterview with The Sev. ...

[I swear I wrote this blog before reading Gordon's, but I suspect a lot of people will be making entries similar to this one today] A while ago, I signed up for the pro account of flickr, the fantastic photo-sharing program which I completely adore. A pro account isn't that different from the free account, it just gives you more uploading bandwidth. I don't really need a lot of uploading bandwidt ...

Er, this is my first meme, which was thrown at me by this nice fellow, so please go easy on me if I fail to demonstrate mad l33t meme skillz. You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be? Who started this meme, a High School teacher? Cause seriously, I used to get my students to answer this when I taught Farenheit 451. Harry Potter is almost universally the book most 15-year- ...

This was made using a neat little flash widget that I found via Boing Boing. I don't really look like this, but it's as close as I could get. It's a cute little program, check it out if you are bored at work. I really need a linklog.... ...

During my Uni days, my job was a 'mobile DJ'. Not what a Londoner might think of as a DJ (turntables, mixing dance music, mumbling into the mic every now and then), something a bit more provincial. I'd be the guy who would turn up at weddings, 21st birthday parties, dance nights at country pubs, office parties and the like, with my rig, and play hot hits until the party ended. My rig had 'DJ Moon ...
