Thoughts and ideas of a dyslexic designer/developer
I was lying in bed reading my eink tablet while listening to a podcast. One of my saved blogs to read was from doctor nerdlove – Why men & women can never be just friends is bullshit. https://twitter.com/cubicgarden/status/853769396183080960 I swear I was pretty pissed off (like Dr Nerdlove) reading about how the state of platonic friendship was a…
I don’t remember much of it as I was drinking red wine from Bucharest with large vodka shots every time it gets a little awkward. It seems to be the new drinking game people are doing around the Undressed TV show. Little rewind… Jane sent me an email about a new TV show called undressed which…
Did you see that couple on first dates? Season 4 episode 12 They started out like it was going to end in disaster. She was a yoga instructor he had never really been to yoga. She was vegetarian he ordered the steak. Discussion was thorny to say the least. She spent ages (5mins) bad mouthing…
Rosie shared with me a post from Girl on the Net, titled The ‘science of dating’ and why it should make you angry… When Rosie shared it on Twitter, I did what I usually do. Add it to Instapaper for a more relaxed time and so I can read it on my Kindle. Days later,…
OK only one person has but its kinda of stuck. Why do I recommend OkCupid? Because its a great dating site and highly recommended by many… OkCupid.

A while ago I tried out Facebook Home but in the end gave up on it. The open power of Android does mean it can have a totally different user interface like what HTC, Samsung, etc do. I’m currently running CynaogenMod’s Trebuchet 1.0 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ and Nemus Launcher on my HTC…
My last date told me about the site http://www.howaboutwe.com yesterday… Very interesting site, its like OKCupid’s Locale (which is still in beta) but instead of the sudo hook up thing, its done much better and clearer about getting people connected around an event/date. The shared experience is the main point of the site. As it…

In England and Wales, when the car owner pays for parking, they pay for the whole zone/bay. Which means if your on a motorbike you can park next to them if you don't block them in and fancy your bike being knocked over. Although I don't think you can do the whole German thing of…
This ties directly into my digital mixing debate in some way, not worth getting into right now. Anyway, I didnt mention anything about the grey album. Shame on me, my mind was too focused on the EUCD I think. Anyway, if you havent heard about it check it out. But it brings up the old…
