Hey Bulldog

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Child-like — No one understands,
Jack knife — In your sweaty hands,
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years

Lennon/McCartney 1968

Pondering Redesign

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

I’ve been looking around at a number of blogs lately, and those which have the most impact invariably use custom built templates. Some political blogs get away with being successful whilst having standard templates, but in recent “Battle of the Blogs” contests at Blog Explosion I have lost badly. I fail to see how I […]

Meta Blogging : Five Interesting Places

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

While surfing around for inspiration - which I do mostly on other blogs - I am more often than not tempted to post on those blogs, in context, rather than steal an idea and rehash it here. So, rather than write a post of my thoughts today, I thought I’d link to my thoughts […]

I’ll […]

The Slashdot Phenomenon

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

The blog that can possibly claim to be the busiest on the web is a geeky tech related blog called Slashdot. You can find the latest five headlines on the right hand side (courtesy of an RSS feed and this plugin). While it is often opinionated and contains poorly written summaries more often than not, […]
