The Old New Thing – Site Rename

So, I’ve been running this blog for a while now and though the name is cool it’s never really felt like a good fit.  I grabbed the domain many years back and used it out of habit more than anything, now I’m starting to take things a little more seriously, for a given value of […]

First Day of School, My Ride

I mentioned in my last post I rode on a crane on my first day of school, this is the crane in question and my Dad behind the wheel.  Glad to say, both are still going strong.

Sleep and the Creative Mind

Like many creative people, I don’t find sleep easily.  This is a common theme among those for whom their mind is their instrument and as I lay in bed last night starting into the darkness, trying not to think of the latest crazy thing to do next to add to my list of projects, a thought slipped […]

Origin Story

The Challenge: Context

Two weeks ago today, while drunk, I agreed to do something stupid for charity.  I often do stupid things while drunk, as is the human condition, but when I woke up I rolled with it.  If I’m honest, despite the effort I’ve put into publicising it, I’ve mentally down played it to myself as the […]

No ‘Air Ambulance Challenge

A few weeks back my favoured pub, The Alehouse, was broken into and the charity boxes for the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance were stolen.  Fast forward a few weeks and I was there for their winter beer festival, propping up the bar as usual, when a stereotypical question was asked; How much would […]

Facebook Integration

I’ve added the new Facebook plugin for WordPress to the site, it’s going to take a while to get configured properly so bare with me.
