Things never quite go the way you expect, do they? Last month, more on a whim than anything else, I applied for a management position within the company I work for, and ended up getting it. And rightly chuffed I was too. So for the past two weeks I’ve ended up more or less doing …

Reboot!
In the spirit of all things Spiderman, I thought it was time to make a fresh start with the old blog here and try to do something useful with it. My new decade resolution is to post more. Promise. No, really! Anyway, best get back to the writing now. Got a nice little screenplay coming …

Calling everyone with a Web Site!
I wondered if I might ask a bit of a favour of you? If you have time, and want to feel all warm and squishy, could I trouble you to add either a link to Geeky Gifts on your own site/blog, or, if your feeling uber-generous, perhaps one of these nifty banner ads wot I …

Seven Songs
Tom tagged me on the seven-songs-that-have-shaped-my-world-recently meme… 1) Radiohead – All I Need: I cannot stop listening to this song. When I hear the opening refrain I get this big deep satisfied smile on my face. I have no idea why. I just gets me… 2) Mozart – String Quartet No 1 in G: The …

The Gap
Inspired by the conversation started by Documentally which spread across the Internet over the past few days on being creative (which spanned Phreadz, Seesmic , Qik and Skitch) I thought I’d follow in the footsteps of the Dragon and have a crack at the Waterstones ‘What’s Your Story’ competition before it closed yesterday evening.
