Magic Moments
At the risk of going a bit 'listy'. I was listening to 'The Last Goodbye' by Jeff Buckley the other day and as ever, particularly enjoyed the bit in the song where he sings "Did you say no, this cant happen to me" and it got me thinking, what the individual moments in...
Lick my legs I’m on fire
Have you ever looked into the eyes of sheep?They seem to know more than you would expect.This one knows, you can tell."Blogging the Ionesco way."
Way Back When
Back in the early/mid nineties I first hit on the somewhat entertaining notion that I should write a book. I honestly can't say what first gave me this notion, but whatever is what was, I still have it now.My one blog reader will now that that first attempt at a novel...
Gadget-tastic
Finally got round to playing with my latest gadget, a USB turntable (which I got all the way back on Father's Day). Very easy to get up and running.The first album to get the digital encoding treatment was Virgins and Philistines by the Colourfield. It worked really...
Fine Man
It strikes me that this blog thing lacks a theme and therefore lacks a natural audience, or indeed, any potential audience at all.Therefore, in lieu of any emerging theme, I'm going to introduce a general 'stuff wot I like' vibe.And what better place to start than to...
Lost Bits
Trawling around my PC, I've found lots of scribbles, notes and nonsense that were at some stage meant to appear in something more complete. It struck me that I may as well put some of them here, doubt they would ever see the light of day otherwise.This was the opening...
Some thoughts on the stock photo business
This is a post I submitted to the MicroStockPix forums. Seemed worthwhile to replay it here.Have you ever asked yourself “What is a stock site?”. Let’s break it down to the basics. It’s a website that sells stuff. It has no supply chain issues and pays simple, minimal...

Wigs
Really. What is the point of wigs?Here's an idea. When someone goes to buy a wig, give them counselling instead.Poor misguided buffoons.
The Butterfly Effect
"Yeah, we know, chaos and that." Well no. This is a different one. Although not without an element of chaos. This butterfly effect is all about flitting from flower to flower. And is the perfect analogy for what I have to fight against most. In short, I try to do too...
Athletic? Moi?
Friday. "Dress down" day.Only one thought. Why do they make men's clothes with the word 'Athletic' on them in XXL+ sizes?
I Love Elephants
Went to the safari park today. I love elephants.
The Radius of Mosh
I suspect that blogs should probably reveal something to the reader about the life of the blogger and thereby giving some sort of insight. So here goes, some actual stuff.This week I went to a couple of gigs at T on the Fringe in Edinburgh. Radiohead and Muse. Seen...
A momentous moment
Looks like my new blog started on a good day, a few clicks on the Ads on http://www.checkmyrequest.com made an astounding $7.53. This , in itself, is not that momentous, but it has finally taken me over the magical $100 barrier, which means I'll actually have made...
In The Beginning…
You could argue that the modern version of the chicken or egg conundrum is "What comes first having a blog or having something to write in it?". I've played with blogging before but never with the intention of actually having a blog. Remaining convinced that I have...
