  • Some days of normal

    2015-01-06

    Hah. Brilliant. So a good friend of mine posts on Facebook that she is partaking in #21daysofnormal: an attempt to open up the reality of daily life and not hide behind the perfect, filtered life that we probably all post to social media most days. “glamorous, Instagrammed photos of the little special bits of our […]

  • I don’t want that news to one day be about me

    2013-10-22

    Gosh I’m angry. I may regret writing. This morning, shortly after waking, I heard some news. It wasn’t about anyone close to me. It involved a family, of which I’ve met the mother once. The father had died; suddenly and way before his time. I desperately don’t want to make some kind of political point […]

  • What’s Next Then?

    2010-05-02

    Work is a topic that I've pretty much banned myself from writing about here. But I feel its time has come. Not my current work, job, or career. No. It's time to start talking about what might be next.

  • Downtime

    2010-04-10

    Well, sorry folks, it’s been over a month. Which kinda counts as downtime for me I suppose. There was also…shock!!…downtime on the Blog caused by me fiddling with subdomains. 1 I’ve not been completely anti-social-networking, in fact, I’ve been pretty busy building WordPress blogs/sites and doing some web/communications/social media consultancy, and that’s been taking up […]

  • It's Church Jim, but not as we know it!

    2009-10-16

    We have a new church. Well, there's no building, and no official organisation. There are people, but not many. And you know what? It's amazing!!
