I suppose this could be classed as an addendum to the About page.  I won’t link to this post from the About page, so consider this a little gem, or golden nugget, if you like, of rich background info on why I do what I do.
I have been ‘about’ on the internet for almost a [...]

Generation Y: Graduates who dare to demand more- ‘Y’?  Because we can!  News publication by the University of Liverpool.  Very interesting read.  I’d say this article includes most of the readers of this blog (based on demographics and a rough guess!), and that it applies to our generation in general, not just graduates.  This is [...]

I’m quite happy about this, so much so that I’ve practically told everyone I know which may be a bit sad, but there you go.  This particular story concerns my mobile phone contract.  So are you sitting comfortably?  Then I’ll begin…
I’ve been with Orange for a good 2 or 3 years now, and I hope [...]

MSN is set as my homepage, and occasionally there’s some interesting stuff on there.  Here’s an article I came across with 20 things you must do in 2008, but I’ll just highlight a choice selection of the 20 with my own views on them:
