Having spent several years floating around in the blogiverse one thing I can say is that if you haven’t got anything interesting to say then don’t say anything. (I didn’t surf today)

How many dead blogs does it take?
February 14, 2010 – 12:55 pm
How many dead blogs will it take to kill us all? I watched a documentary the other night about the state of the blogiverse. There are, apparently, 1.2 billion blogs out there of which 95% are ‘dead’ (ie no activity for 3 or more months). This doesn’t even take into account the non-English speaking blogs [...]
Before the time of blog…
September 15, 2009 – 7:41 pm
…there was silence in the ether. It was good. A light blinked in the dead of night and the worldwideweb became a squirming mass of html tables and font tags brimming with vital information, allegedly instantaneous communication and vast amounts of exasperation. People spent their time filling databases with facts and figures, sharing beige tinted [...]
Twitter notification tweet sound
February 20, 2009 – 2:07 pm
Having recently lost my Twitter virginity I was slightly confused by the utter pointlessness of knowing what a gazillion people that I don’t know were having for breakfast.

However – when the loverly Tango (grrr) tags me who am I to refuse her delightful request to divulge 7 things you wouldn’t care to know about Penfold… [...]
The World Blog Council…
November 22, 2008 – 12:58 pm
…somebody in that office actually took the time to send me this rejected certificate (probably that dried up old haddock Ms Tutt – the female equivalent of a git if I ever I met one). Everywhere I go that pompous wazzock (who thinks he’s a real Colonel) has been there before, spreading his outdated principals [...]
New blog anybody…?
October 29, 2008 – 5:10 pm
…after several days slaving over a hot graphics tablet the Emporium makeover is nearly complete. I’ve decided to go old school and use the nearest thing to a pencil that works with a computer – hope you like the results. There are also a few new WordPress-type coding hints which I will gradually build up [...]
