Some of my collected writings, musings and thinkings. Occasionally they will make sense.

I've heard optimum post frequencies of between two and eight posts A DAY. I'm capitalising that because it sounds ludicrous to me, but if you're all shrugging and thinking "yeah, sounds about right", feel free to mentally tipp-ex over it and rethink it in lower case.

There’s a kind of mental check-down you go through when it happens: Pop. Your screen goes blank. Your ears feel weird for a second as they are assaulted by the silence. Then (in our case) the shrill ‘BEEP!’ of the server’s surge protection battery backup thingy kicks in. Every. 15. Seconds.

When I'm in social situations and people ask me what I do and I say "I'm a designer" they often say "Oh, what of?" followed by some sort of helpful guess like "fashion?" (to which my internal voice replies "Seriously? are you looking at me?") I go on to explain that I'm actually just a graphic designer in a design studio and, to those who haven't now sidled off to talk to someone more interesting, this is now perfectly clear. Cheers, I'll have a Peroni.
