Happiness

By | April 29, 2010

Our beautiful friend Beanie is going to marry her girlfriend today. It’s such bitter sweet, lovely news and I am so happy for them both.

For the first time this year, I’ve missed my target of getting a new video up on the Globalism Films channel every two weeks. Only a few days out at the moment and I hope to pick the momentum back up next weekend, but in the meantime here’s the latest …

Remedies

By | April 27, 2010

Whenever I’m stressed beyond belief, or feeling down and out,  I have always turned to the Greatest Video Clip Ever to cure all ills. Lately, I’ve sought more comfort in the glory of Bicycle Porn. Sigh. I imagine my hair flapping and my soul bouncing as I glide through the streets of Brighton on my old [...]

A total of 8 people were present. Including: two science fiction authors, two copywriters, an entrepreneur, a web designer (who writes short stories), a journalist and a project manager.

‘Circular’ Polyhedra, and the Apollonian Net

By | April 27, 2010

Today I guested Polly’s Arty Party Hour at Radio Free Brighton which has moved into a new studio under the bridge by Brighton Station.I think it’s a fantastic and welcoming community project where new as well as established artists in all areas get a c…

How To Say Goodbye

By | April 26, 2010

Here we are, at the beginning of a brand new week and I’m already hanging out for the weekend. Last week was Hell on toast, and not even for me, but in terms of things to process, it’s been a humdinger. On discussing things with a good friend (thanks Gorgeous), it has been decided that [...]
