I’m in the USA for the first time - just had my first american breakfast (burp) which also included sightings of Linda Gray and Larry Hagman - you know that you’re in Texas when… Before yesterday, I hadn’t been on a plane for more than 4 hours and never been on anything bigge...

I’m noticing that the general backlash against twitter and other social tools has had a boost recently, presumably in response to the positive vibe coming from those celebs who’ve found it useful: @stephenfry, @wossy, @schofe et al. Just joining some dots… Dr Aric Sigman writes in ...

It was like a two-hour roller coaster ride. I ZOMG-d out loud nearly all the way. Way more intimate than I’d expected, and I’m not talking about the lady with the handkerchief. Hard to describe without spoilers - you need to go, it’s only booking til April 19th and go for tickets i...

Epsom to Victoria Railway Line Epsom to Waterloo Railway Line Went for a walk after lunch to see what was what with the railway lines.

Ugh I’ve had a kind of emotional hangover since about lunchtime yesterday. I feel rotten about getting stuck in a cynical snarky frame of mind. To blame twitter would be like blaming my exercise books for having blank sheets at the back that were perfect for writing notes to pass in class. To ...

Breakfast and conversation again yesterday, courtesy of OneAlfredPlace and Steve Moore I love the way that Steve keeps playing with different formats. This one involved three cool people (coincidentally all members of my twitterstream) Jeremy, Kevin & Matt from Penguin, The Guardian and Channel ...

One of those brain dump things where I want to write more than 140 characters but not enough for a “proper” post, whatever *that* is. The not-so-obvious sign that twitter’s about to go mainstream is that the really smart people are so bored with it they are messing with the concept...
