One Song, Glory

This question is as old as the Internet itself. What’s the one song you’d listen to before you died? if it could indeed only be one. For me, it wouldn’t be something with a lot of significance. This is partly because no song holds much significance with me, but also.. Actually, no, that’s the only [...]

Dear John

Myself and my brother John have been.. not exactly at odds, but certainly arguing. You see, I’m currently running WordPress 2.3.3, which is a very old version of WP indeed, as 2.8 is in the process of being released. Now, for the most part, that’s fine. Sure, it’s a different layout, but that’s just a [...]

Cane Twirling

I’d teach you how to do it, but the Tibetan monks swore me to secrecy. We took a blood oath and everything. That’s me playing MGMT – Kids on piano. You can tell I spent hours slaving over it, didn’t you? Ah well. I try.All shot from newly downloaded Qik on my iPhone. Of course, [...]

The BTW effect

Last Thursday night, I headed up to the third ever BTW, which stands for ‘Blogger, Twitter-er, Whatever’, basically an internet meetup for folks, usually in bar/restaurants. Quite good fun, and a great place to meet (un)familiar faces. So many people complain that BizCamps and BarCamps and ThisThatOrTheOtherCamps teach us nothings, and these sort of events [...]

At last

Whenever I tried to tell anyone why I loved my cane so much, I found I kinda couldn’t. I mean, it’s not that it gives me greater mobility, or takes the strain off my rotten knees. Whenever anyone asked why I loved the cane, I really couldn’t answer. Corntacular as it sounds, I couldn’t get [...]

Please welcome back…

After a quick break, I’ve decided to bring back categories. If you point your eyes that way, *indicates sidebar*, you’ll see my categories. Ignore ‘uncategorized’, it shows my laziness from earlier. We’ll try to keep it simple. No 40 categories like last time, spanning 2 posts apiece either

OmgOmgOmgSuperSexyCarAlert

Those who knew me on Twitter before I was @TrustTommy might remember that I was @TommyXKR. This is the car that provided the name. The super-sexy Jaguar XKR After swimming my 70 lengths in the pool (I’m an endurance swimmer), myself and Olivia decided to walk to La Cuchina for lunch. Just outside the door [...]

Let’s just say…

Alternatively titled: “This one time….” …there’s a completely rational explanation for this that doesn’t involve me getting drunk. Would you believe, my date was on the other side of the table, and I was staring adoringly in her eyes, and she into mine, and the moonlight was creating romantic shadows on the walls of the [...]

A break from the norm

If I may, I would like to post a short satirical work I composed. I have no idea how I came up with it. The four odd hours in the car yesterday certainly gave me time to think though. Disclaimer: Do not take me seriously, lest serious harm befall you. With that in mind, Tommy [...]

Carpal whatnow?

This is what happens when you finish Call of Duty 5 in two days. Ooops. It hurts to stretch it. * Scooby Doo * Ruh Roh!
