If I were going to choose one piece of music to sum up my experiences since leaving my last contract at the end of February, it would most likely be Too Months Off by Underworld. Firstly because it’s a great slice of electro wonderfulness, and secondly because that’s precisely what I’ve had. It also has [...]
If certain web forum trends are to be believed then once every few years people who play videogames a lot (or have done for a long time) usually tend to go through an occasional “why do I do this?” phase. Of course I’m no expert on this particular subject, or any other for that matter, [...]
Work may well be a four letter word, but right now it’s one I’m happy to be using again. I’ve been working from home for the last two months (minus some holiday time) and the much needed time off has worked wonders for me. But now that the book publishing project is finished bar promotion, [...]

Rather than make readers click through several different posts I’ve collated all the info into the one place to, for want of a better word, digest. Once upon a Snickers ago I used to be extremely…chunky. Alright chunky [...]
