Agree with @smileykt that our mate @joe_maples Tweets from his Antarctica trip are well worth checking out.
Now THAT’s what I call a flapjack. Could have fed an army on it, but I chose to keep it to myself. Will eat next on Sunday.
Very sad to hear that Howard Zinn died yesterday. He will be sorely missed. http://bit.ly/bLw57X
Just found another photo of me at Saturday’s Mass Photo Gathering. Who needs a mask when you have a Land Camera :-) http://flic.kr/p/7y91Yo
Did digital finally get interesting? RT @gotreadgo: http://bit.ly/5bhJLW Mijonju Show - f0.95 & other C-mount lenses for Micro 4/3 cameras.
This sentence may mean more to you than it does to me; “Use CLW and IdAM to open up MDI, FSI, CME.” I only work here.
It’s corporate conference call time again & I’m happy to report that “everyone is on the same page & driving the growth agenda”. So there.
Need a good UK online music shop (strings, cables, straps); any recommendations. My usual place (http://bit.ly/6ee4bs) is low on stock.
We had a crazy weekend involving a lot of “out and about”. Jacqui’s back home now trying to pick up the pieces (metaphorically speaking).
Just listened to last Friday’s Wittertainment in the car this morning. Dr K’s ninja sound effects were pure genius.
Hah Hah! The Land Camera caused quite a stir when I started using it. Salvo on the right, student on the left. #mpg http://flic.kr/p/7xKzMP
Funny thing; you put thousands of photogs in 1 spot & no matter if it’s a protest, everyone soon starts geeking over the gear on display!
Photo protest in London today was great (http://bit.ly/4FeFAN) Leon, Salvo, Jin, Karen & I went down to join in. Great atmosphere.
A breath of fresh air from @TechCrunch: “Anticipating the Apple Tablet: When journalism becomes fanfiction” http://bit.ly/8U7rND
RT @seant666: Apple must love it, they announce nothing and everyone reports on it.
The corporation speaks: “Let’s all do our best to make this a very positive start to FY10 and to start to deliver on our growth ambitions.”
Liquidman gig last night went well. Very friendly crowd w/ some old friends there too. We even got paid. I got £3! Off to buy a Snickers :-)
Spinal Tap fans NEED to listen to this story by Tony Hendra about events leading up to his first day on set http://bit.ly/7Fxnty (MP3 file)
Traffic on the M25 destroying any chance of a soundcheck tonight. Nice!
After a year of working a few hundred yards apart, Matt White & I may finally be meeting for lunch. There’s still time to cancel though :-)
I put a whole bottle of brandy into the Christmas cake this year. Brought some into work. It’ll be a slow afternoon. http://flic.kr/p/7rCVCG
http://twitpic.com/ytrdv - Waiting in a Soho pub for Jim Green. It’s curry night.
RT @filmwasters: UK photographers get down to Trafalgar Sq for the protest this Saturday if you’re able: http://bit.ly/8f4ras
Apparently the other 2 long-time Sink members are both coming to the Liquidman (i.e. Sink covers) gig on Thursday. No pressure then :-)
http://twitpic.com/ymsbd - Remember, don’t feed chillis to the animals.
We enjoyed a lovely, sunny, winter’s day out at Coram’s Fields w/ Lil, Ramona & Katherine. 40% off the meal after wasn’t too shoddy either.
WatchThis is hands-down the funniest video of the family that I have ever shot, but all the credit goes to Amy for taking over after about 20 seconds and running the show from then on. A little cameo from Joe as ‘Laughing Boy’ and Amy’s surreal excursion into mime at the end were the cherries on the top.
Liquidman are playing at the Bull & Gate, Kentish Town, London next Thurs 21st Jan. Last minute addition. Bottom of the bill with a bullet.
The archive is alive. More video of Sink playing in Switzerland in 1991 http://bit.ly/8tWtkU
New word for today; “nugacious”. Funny enough, but try saying it without feeling the need to append, “dude!” :-)
RT @doyoudoanywings: If Beyonce had married Roy Castle she’d be Beyonce Castle. Ideal for village fetes and childrens parties.
RT @filmwasters: Just over 2 weeks left to submit your work to the next Filmwasters collaboration gallery. Details at http://bit.ly/4YA0LU
My month’s worth of Daily Mayo podcasts has been devoured & I’m facing up to life without him on 5 Live. You don’t miss your water…
http://twitpic.com/xx053 - Score! Roasted yesterday. Sweet.
Nipping over to Whitecross St to see if the coffee stand is there today. They sell @squaremile beans. Hope the weather hasn’t put them off.
Our staff canteen: “The new restaurant will be providing a premium coffee brand alongside a modern mix of high street and theatre cookery.”

That Tree Again: More adventures in lo-fi with a tree from Nottinghamshire. Land Cam + goop scan = WTF :-) http://flic.kr/p/7uPGts
