A few days ago, I was tagged by the lovely Raiha Buchanan, fellow Twitterer and blogger based in Stockholm, in a chain-letter style challenge to write seven facts about myself that I have not already revealed here — then I, in turn, get to choose seven others to do the same. Seeing as I seldom [...]

Wikipedia by Rob Matthews, 2009 5000 pages, fully printed The wonderful world of the interweb is evermore glorious when reminded of the sheer vastness of information that it contains.

As a consequence of not having had the chance to post over the last couple of months, I’ve missed out on announcing news just as it was breaking out on the aggregated feed circuit. But that’s not to say that any of the initial excitement or relevance has waned at all since then, especially when [...]

And alongside a likely impending move away from an increasingly weary London (all to be revealed soon), calibration of both overall work [...]
