I’m loving Shhexycorin. She’s the most creative annotator of a parallel world we have. They say the best form of humour resonates because it’s based on truth. Which makes this a fucked up funny world. Is this what satire is going to be for my kids…? Flickr took down one of her photos recently. In [...]

Half-baked apology View Comments
Apologies for the half-baked posts of late. I’m finding Ecto is publishing the drafts I half-heartedly write. In fact I only ever write half heartedly so maybe I should just sack the attempt to crap-filter out what I write and just publish everything in the hope that the signal really is the noise…

The Smith-Nietzsche Method View Comments

Looking ahead… View Comments
Originally uploaded by JamesB. I’m going away for a week or so. 2006 will be around when I’m back and I’ll be further behind in reading and consequently trying to play catch up with the frenetic pace of change in the world of digital technology, ‘consumerism’ and marketing.
