Matt Haughey relaunches haughey.com as

Matt Haughey relaunches haughey.com as his professional site. It’s a startlingly simple and elegant design, using high quality images. The front page feels like a window. There’s something familiar to me about the text formatting on the images. It reminds me of something big in the graphic design world a while back. If anyone can see what I’m talking about, then mail me. It’s driving me insane.

“If you’re wondering why all the love that you long for eludes you and people are rude and cruel to you, I’ll tell you why. Today I am remembering the time when they pulled me back, and held me down and looked me in the eye and said you just haven’t earned it yet, baby. You must suffer and cry for a longer time. You must stay on your own for slightly longer. And I’m telling you now.”

Fascinating stuff on the Josh

Fascinating stuff on the Josh / Brian debacle that’s emerging in the Big Brother house. The Guardian talks about Josh’s A-list status, JoshandPecs.com goes the full self-promoting mile and Barbelith goes all analytic (I love the Underground). Totally engaging.

We would just like to

We would just like to give our gracious thanks to Nick Jordan for presenting us with a full gallery of the goings-on on Tuesday night. We know at the time that we may have groaned every time the camera appeared, that we may have shouted ‘put it away’, but really… How could anyone not love you for putting this picture on the net?
