Life Is To Be Enjoyed, Not Endured

You need, to think: A head.

Inflatable sledgehammer

Persistence nearly always pays off in the end

On the odd occasions that it doesn't, you're not at the end yet

It's Better To Write Less

Seth Godin made me do it.

Take your meaningful tragic works: how about a happy ending making the Booker for once

Fast and full

Known problems usually aren't known by the people who need to

Blessed Are The Listmakers

Life: Enter, an empty vessel, leave, an empty husk

Give of yourself while you can.

Better a few glorious than plenitude of crap

Don't You " Don't " Me !

• Are you a punctuation vigilante or a punctuation anarchist?
• Do you know?
• Do you care?
  

Persistence is useless

It is impossible to keep New Year's Resolutions

The angels have the phone box

Don't Blink.

No news is not good news

What drives humananity's insatiable urge for the new and different? Can't we just settle for what we've got and leave innovation to take care of itself?

No.

Adapt and survive - to abandon the hunt for innovation is to go against our irrepressible instincts for discovery of new ways to influence the world which we inhabit as a species no more than a newborn but already reaching out for objects to try.

Hand in hand with this noble innocence, it's our destiny to watch crap TV and believe adverts which appeal to our craving for novelty. We know the content is either vacuous or wrong but the style of delivery is interesting.

The veneer becomes the substance. We inevitably foster creativity, crass or constructive. Wheat does not come without chaff and humans do not come without hype.

2007 in review

2007 has, for me, been a lot like 2006, with different people and different places.

Now I've moved half way across the World to do something different, I sure hope the experience will be epiphaniogenic.

The cold North country was inspiring an' all but my new gaff is a tad bigger and inexplicably, more complicated.

Ooh I like your [insert platitude here]

Here's a novel idea: instead of foaming it up like a pretentiously-cloying dessert from an outrageously-flambouyant coffee shop, how about everyone saying what they really think of each other tomorrow? Let's see what's left of humanity by 25th December.

[Cut to video of burnt out houses, cars run off the road, looting etc]
