More grotesque photos of the most recent Blogmeet (12 /6/2001). When will someone realise that the pallid complexion, RSI’d arms and over-caffeinated geek world will never photograph well?
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.
Proposal: Combine weblog with diary
Proposal: Combine weblog with diary and journal by making it possible to (1) post in advance, (2) assign times to events, (3) be able to choose whether the post should be public or private, (4) have private posts be viewable through a concealed login so you can check your itinerary on the go, (5) Build in ‘talk about this event’ functionality.
Secrets are the battery acid
Secrets are the battery acid of the mind. If you had secrets – if you had three things that you wanted to talk about but couldn’t – what would you do? Would your defences collapse under the pressure.

"If you're wondering why all
“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.
"I decree today that life
“I decree today that life is simply taking and no giving. England is mine and it owes me a living…”
Today on Barbelith: Porno People
Today on Barbelith: Porno People – “Real people that I knew went from three dimensions, conversation and thoughts to cartoon sex zombies mouthing, ‘I like it in my mouth’.”
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? I mean, really?
