Charity Or Fetish?
On the tube this morning, as I commuted blithely to work in my weird temporary office space, I witnessed an amusing happening. Your usual tube beggar was announcing his plight, about do his rounds, when an elderly gent in a pretty fly sports club jacket and some sky blue joggers piped up.
“I will BUY you some hot food, if you get off with me at the next stop, and I’ll watch you eat...

Interwebs
This is what people don’t realise:
We’re not the spider, we’re the flies.
Put your app down, get out in the weather.
Never before, have so many, been so alone together.

Client (distant) Relations.
I’d forgive you for not knowing that I work for a creative agency. I do, we specialise in video production, and we’re in the final throes of finishing up our biggest piece of work for this particular client yet. Said client is comprised of some lovely guys and gals, the work they do is great, and we absolutely hope to continue to work for them but, unfortunately, this last piece of...

Word Waste
And why, exactly am I writing this?
I like to think I’ve read a fair bit, but I can’t think of a modern book that deals with the dilemma, not so much existential as pragmatic, of writing. Pondering it over on the tube I remembered that such a dearth is no doubt due to the sheer modern profligacy of the written word. The issue with which luminaries through time such as Satre and...
