    Ideas

    All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).

    You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...

    If you wake up every morning and think, "My t-shirts are so dull, I wish I had interesting clothes...", you need to have a look at my online shop.

  • That 'back-of-the-wardrobe' feeling...

    Written 6 Mar 2008

    I've just realised what's so odd about being back in Edinburgh. It feels exactly like I've just come back from an adventure in Narnia. I left normality behind 6 months ago and travelled to a magical, mystical land full of everything I could possibly dream of (mostly really cool geek stuff) where everybody spoke strangely. I stayed just long enough for everything to become normal, where I'd come to expect onigiri to be sold in every corner shop then I travelled back and stepped into life exactly where I left. Everything and everyone exactly the same as it was when I left. That's what's weird about it.

    Still, I'll be clambering back into the wardrobe next week now that I've got my new visa.

    In other news, I highly recommend Heima by Sigur Rós
