Convolution part 2

(…please see previous post)
Of course I’ve never been one to follow advice (good or bad) so the possibility of me prattling on in a deranged manner with absolutely no discernible facts or points of interest eminating from this particular repository of minutia is, as always, quite high…
However, I would like to point out (assuming you [...]

Papersurfer the movie?

One midsummer day I was leaning into an involved conversation with an abstract artist (of moderate fame) who, for no apparent reason, said to me in an intriguing manner…
“…you should write a book…”
The conversation was slightly fuelled by a prelunch intake of cold refreshing cider in an ancient, smoke filled country pub. So I completely [...]

Better than real life…

I’ve been looking at a lot of skateboards recently – the gorgeous Tango gave me the fantastic Whirling Dervish to stretch my learning curve on but I also wanted a board with a tail to replace my battered old shortboard – something a bit longer and wider (and slower to lower my skin graft to [...]

Too old to skate?

The majority of people cruising into middle-age might mark the transition with an instigation of a pension plan or buying some nice brown slacks. I realised today that I may be in the midst of some form of denial period of my life and although my cranial follicle count is dwindling on a daily basis [...]

Social networking – the end of the world?

A simple discussion with the gorgeous Tango (grrr) recently ended in a rather startling conclusion:
It began with the simple thought that social networking websites are an incredibly efficient waste of time when you’re not working and of course that led to the thought that there must be an enormous percentage of office workers online during [...]

Finishing touches…

It’s the finishing touches that take the time. Whether you are grouting a bathroom, buffing a personal trophy or in my case writing a book. It’s been under construction for quite some time now – all the content is there – I just have to do some minor tweaking and Robert is your maternal parent’s [...]

Plastic Fantastic…

…is the new set of icons by my big brother Tiggz
He lives in a small mossy cave in the foothills of the East Sussex mountain range where he forages for grubs and lichen. During his nocturnal awakenings he manipulates coloured pixels and data designing widgets and GUIs (graphical user interface).
These endeavours have won him a [...]

Life on the open sea…

…the Pride of Bilbao is a big boat. 12 storeys big. 6 restaurants, 5 bars, a casino, 2 cinemas and a swimming pool big but when we were heading out into the Bay of Biscay on Monday afternoon and the enormous ground swell that had marched across the Atlantic to greet us started tossing the [...]

I’m 2 years old…

…well not me but Papersurfer is.
According to various statcounters I’ve had over 65,000 visitors, written nearly 300 posts, had over 3000 comments and caught nearly 4500 pieces of spam.
To be fair most of those stats are from Daddy P (you have no idea how many times I’ve marked him as spam – but he keeps [...]

The last post…

…somebody asked me recently ‘why do you blog?’.
I couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer.
So that’s that then…
I didn’t surf today either.
