One of my photos has been selected to be in the upcoming Slow Exposure exhibition at Foyles. If you can't make it to the private view on May 1st, the exhibition opens on April 24th and runs for a month, if you want to catch it. (There's a Facebook event for the private view, if [...]

I went to the April 1st protests on Wednesday, mostly because something was happening in my home town and I couldn't just sit at home and ignore it, than because I am anti-capitalism. I'd be a hypocrite if it was for that reason, with my clothes from high street shops, and my camera and mobile [...]

Today, in case you hadn't noticed yet, is Ada Lovelace Day, a day designed to celebrate women in technology.

Had fun at Frazer's birthday drinks last night, except for the bit where Dave from Geek Syndicate French-kissed my nose, which was disgusting (right in front of his lovely girlfriend, too).

It was a pretty shoddy guide, though, two [...]

When I came home from Craftwerk last Sunday, I had quite a haul of business cards for cool independent creative people who sell their wares online. Just in time for Christmas, I can pass their names and websites along to you! (Pictures below link to the individual shops if you click on them.) I kind [...]

On Sunday, I ventured out of the house in the moments between rain storms and went to Craftwerk at the St Aloyisius Social Club. I almost didn't make it out of the house at all, thanks to total DIY FAIL on the part of my stupid, stupid neighbours. They apparently decided a little while ago, [...]
