I use Spotify a lot, I mean a lot. Between it and Last.fm I’m fairly sure I need never buy another album again.

…it’d be a pretty strange place to live! If we start by imagining that websites are buildings, then to start with only a percentage of people would create buildings properly. Some places you visit would look fluid and beautiful no matter what angle you saw them from, like a stunning piece of architecture. Other buildings [...]

I *think* that my new WordPress theme is ready to be unleashed kicking and thrashing into the world. It’s called Bluebubbl and it’s a clean, two-column layout with a little jiggery-pokery in the footer to display recent comments and the like.

The old site was a basic flat html site, with little interest to bring potential new teachers into the training course. It was decided that a complete overhaul was required, and so I began by discussing the client’s needs, [...]
