Imaginative Radio
I am a radio fan. Fine, I’m a book fan first but I’m also a radio fan. I love listening to the radio while doing other things where a book simply isn’t possible – such as washing the dishes or ruining a good meal. Radio has almost everything that you could possibly wish for, without [...]
Good, Bad, Eurovision
First up, so that we get this straight, I am not watching the Eurovision Song Contest. Nor am I anywhere near anyone who is as far as I know. It might be that the neighbors are zapping back and forth between something interesting and this song thing, but I suspect most people will be watching [...]
Real Live Nastiness
Apparently Twitter sells books. I know it must be true because someone posted it on Twitter. Leaving aside the snide references about proof of something being true because you read it in the book / publication / whatever being queried: the author John Niven has taken an interesting idea and put it into practice for [...]
Strange Offer
As we all know the Internet is a means whereby everyone can post anything that they want anonymously; anonymous being mostly a faked character, name or whatever. If people want to do that, well, it’s fine by me; some don’t have the guts to stand up to their words and I respect their weakness, their [...]
Not Selling Through Facebook
If you want a prime example of how not to react to bad press, to comments and Tweets, Reddit or elsewhere, this is it: Restaurant Meltdown. I don’t know how many Internet gurus will go ape over this, but there will be quite a few. After all, everyone in their right mind tells businesses to [...]
Nastiness
Having just amused myself by watching celebrities read some of the Tweets that are aimed at them, and I mean the not so kind ones, I thought I’d quickly clear away what is still lying in my Twitter file. There’s nothing mean here, I guess, but I might just do a search a little later [...]
Marriage And The Word
If you haven’t been watching the news recently and catching all the reports about marriage equality, not just in the United States but elsewhere too, then you haven’t been watching the news. Along with gun control and North Korea it is one of the recurring themes of the month, if not of the year so [...]
Something New – Every Day
It may not seem like much but: today I learned something new. Fine, I learn something new every single day of the week, as do we all, but this little almost a nothing was a fun bit of learning. It’s not significant in any way at all, and that’s what makes it fun. Love & [...]
Limits
I seem to be hitting limits all over the place these days, mainly in the Internet. In real life my limits are on time: how much time is available to complete a certain piece of work; how much I can devote to leisure; how much is available for Internet surfing. The other limits I’m hitting [...]
Men & Women: The Tweets
How to men and women measure up to one another? Hard to say, but here’s a few informed opinions from Twitter for your edification: Related PostsPullover Weather?

The Two Faces
It’s strange how the Internet can cause seemingly normal people to suddenly become something we never expected. There is something about the perceived level of anonymity which brings out the worst in some, and airs their true character for all to see. Some people claim that it is the alcohol speaking, when so many seem [...]
And If On A Moonlit Night…
…sleep fails to come. I tend to use Tweets from other people at random, the words and ideas others have had, rather than my own at times. Perhaps it’s time to change that and include a few of my own deep and dark thoughts, mainly from the middle of the night when sleep really doesn’t [...]

It always seems to be the way, I write about something, publish it here and either new information appears after my article or someone else makes a comment elsewhere which could have enhanced the whole, or even changed its direction. I know I’m not the only one to experience it, whether I am the only [...]
Please, What?
I know that not everyone has the gift of language, or that everyone can get their words in the right order or their thoughts into just one hundred and forty characters – which occasionally surprises me when I look at how shallow some of those thoughts appear to be – but even so: can someone [...]
Not The Best Fake Profile In The World
A friend of mine on Facebook – yes, I do still have a few good connections there – is being subjected to an attack. His profile has been highlighted on the Timeline of someone calling themselves Ashley Jensen with a demand for all of her friends to report him as a fake. The fact that [...]
