A Letter To Madonna…

Dear Madonna,
You’ve been living here in England now for quite a few years, ever since you married Mockney film director, and all round boor, Guy Ritchie. In that time you’ve emasculated Jonathan Ross (you must be the only interviewee he’s ever had where he had obviously been ordered not to take the piss out of […]

Robert Palmer’s videos are probably some of the most imitated in the history of music videos. And now, adding to the list of artists who have done that whole ‘women in leather, playing instruments” thing, comes R&B goddess Beyonce. And boy does she look like she’s not worried by what people see her wearing anymore.. […]

A while back Google released an update meaning that users would, after carrying out a navigational search for a site, be offered the option to search within that site - on Google. I thought it was a bad idea at the time & I still do.

However I was never prepared to do my time reporting on […]

As I mentioned the other day, this weekend saw me give Twitter another try and so far I’ve been liking it. In many ways this has been because this second attempt to get the most well-known micro-blogging platform has coincided with the geek-fest that is the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, which now has a […]

Is Calacanis 4Real?

This weekend saw me jumping, head-first, into the pool of comment, speculation and over-heated hype which is Twitter. I’ve been registered for ages and haven’t really been able to see the point of it, but this weekend it suddenly started to make sense. As SXSW got well & truly under way I was able to […]

Obviously everything on this site is the opinion of me, Ciaran Norris, and no-one else, including my employers and anyone else I know. I guess that it's probably obvious, but thought I should probably make it explicit. Anyway, enjoy!
