One true blast from the past, I remember listening to this after finding out that I wasn't going to be going to Glastonbury 1992 because my friend had gone home for the term without handing me the ticket.

Still, the start of good times after I drunkenly went to Ritzy's nightclub from the university I was at the following Monday.

Here's the majesty of the band that made that night.

Just a link a video which took me back to when I was 10 years old. That is all. Are there any other adverts that I should be looking for?

I've produced my first video in a while on the back of my limited contribution to an effort to stop a power station being built in my back yard. There's quite a lot of shaky cam and some of the shots are less than perfect, but I hope to have used some music and decent edits to carry off a decent package of what we were trying to achieve. Let me know what you think...

Possibly a bit later than I would have hoped to have written this - I've been snowed under at work.
 
REVOLUTION. Conflict. Opportunities. Not exactly the words you expect to hear to describe a conference, particularly about a subject such as hyperlocal blogging.
But they were among the words used by speakers at the recent Talk About Local Unconference at Staffordshire University.

Shameless self-interest:

Say No to Blythe Park Power | vvsm.co.uk http://vvsm.co.uk/ - help stop proposed power station in greenfield site - which happens to be 200 metres from where I live - and sign the Number 10 epetition.

In the past three days I've been to two conferences. One was the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) conference in Kensington, the second was the Talk About Local Unconference 2009 at Staffordshire University.
It's going to take a bit of time to write up so here's the first part, devoted to the first day at Fowa...

FOWA 2009 - the Future of Web Apps

There is nothing as inspirational as the story of success, or so goes the theory behind trade and business conferences.

There's always been something about the band Eels and its eccentric frontman Mark Everett that I've loved.

I remember sitting in a car on the way to work when I first Whether it was the first time I heard the quirky hit Susan's House in 1996, and I realised I loved the mixed-up magic of their work.
