New Favourite Song

Still coughing-y and headache-y and fever-y :( Spirit of The West – Jonses Pity I couldn’t find a non-live version. You know how I dislike concerts. In any case, loving the fast paced lyrics: They kept to themselves like two books upon a shelf.. the kind you judge by the cover and never take the [...]

Two Articles

I have a cough, fever and mild headache. Still, show must go on ** Have a read of this. A lesbian couple with 3 of their 4 adopted children are about to set sail when suddenly one collapses. They hurry off the ship and into an ambulance which takes them to Ryder Trauma Center at [...]

Many different forms of genius…

You have Chopin’s-nocturn-in-B flat-minor genius, and you have recreating-the-Mona Lisa-in-Microsoft-Paint genius. There are other types: Who thinks Facebook in PirateSpeak is one?

Recording

In my internet wanderings, I came across Áine’s blog. She states: I have a minor obsession with recording every last thing that I think, do, or say, hence the blog. I sat down at my laptop one day and was stumped as to what to write about. I decided to write about a childhood memory, [...]

Music I’ve Been Loving, Week 1

So I was thinking of getting some structure to posts, and since I love music to the wacky extent that I’d rather go blind than deaf I was thinking of maybe showcasing a number of albums each week – on a Saturday, I’m thinking, because people are too busy doing real-world stuff to bother doing [...]

Happiness redux

Logo

Weird white fuzzy stuff at the bottom is, in fact a carpet What you see before you is a TrustTommy logo that one of the teachers made for me in school, because he’s awesome. He’s been a reader for a while and showed me his idea for a 3D logo; that isn’t it above -gonna [...]

Poser McPoseFace

Ok.. time to come clean. My name isn’t actually Tommy. Trust Poser doesn’t have a nice ring to it though.. Taken by the ever-awesome Ben, last Saturday at Les Web Awards.

Markets

A few weeks a go there was a big discussion on Twitter about whether or not people should charge for teaching how to use Twitter. The general consensus was that this was wrong and that these people were scammers. Now that’s just silly. In these (hate this phrase, but it fits) tough times, if you [...]

A rather unique problem

I’ve decided to stop using my MacBook Air at home. I’m not totally sure why, but it’s being a pile of ass recently. I think the old Airs were for people like Dad who use Safari and Mail, and almost nothing else. Not even iTunes. Now, it’s perfect for him because it weighs nothing, and [...]
