Twitter, Strepsils & Rowntree’s Randoms FTW
Yes, yes, yes, another post about Twitter, I know. This one has a point at least. Well. Kind of. A few weeks back I spoke at the 2nd of the excellent Media140 conferences, this one looking at the way that…

The Beatles – You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
I’ve not written anything for a while, partly because it’s taking me ages to write my songs/albums of the year/decade posts. But why I’m bothering I’m not really sure, as the only stories really worth telling this year have been…
