Wednesday, October 07, 2009Modern football is rubbish[Rant] Until recently this meant having a few pints at the pub and then turning up at the match and paying on the turnstile and the walking on the terrace to find my friends. Simple. Here's how modern football does it. 1 Go through the palaver of registering as a fan on the hideous website If I was physically capable of supporting a team in Division 4 or below I would, but Cardiff's in my DNA (hence they can get away with charging me just to have the right to buy a ticket). Modern football is rubbish.

Labels: protest Wednesday, September 23, 2009Say hello to wirefresh.com!After the last tech site I was working for collapsed in a heap of incompetence and unpaid wages (mainly mine, I reckon), I've decided to start up my very own website for tech related news, wirefresh.com. We've already got around 50 articles on the site, and you can expect to find reviews, news, comment and the odd sarky comment or two. I'd love to hear what you think about the site and your opinion of the articles, so please add a few comments if you feel so inspired. Of all the news stories covered today, this one has got me the most excited: it's Microsoft's rumoured new 'book' PC and it looks fantastic.
Anyhow, check out the new site and tell me what you think! Labels: wirefresh Monday, September 21, 2009Ella Edmondson at Offline Club, BrixtonShe was absolutely fabulous!

Wednesday, September 09, 2009London Astoria: nearly goneI've seen some great gigs at the Astoria in central London, but the end came on 14th Jan, 2009 when the venue was closed to make way for the construction of a new station for the Crossrail project.

The Tree House Gallery, Regents's Park
Billed as "an innovative public project featuring a free daily program of events, arts, discussions, musicology and activities," the Treehouse Gallery in Regent's Park tasked itself with acting, " as a catalyst to ignite the collective imagination, encouraging adults and children alike to explore a variety of creative responses to nature." We're not entirely sure what all that means, but we definitely enjoyed our visit and found it a pleasant place to hang out for a while. Looking like a road protest site transported into a central London Park, the Treehouse Gallery put on daily activities, talks and workshops, focussed around two large treehouses.
