For everyday thoughts and reflections.
I did a thing! The other day I designed a new Twitter header for a profile I post on quite regularly, but have no intention of developing a meaningful following on. I would be somewhat disappointed if I ever got more than 100 followers, because I treat it more like an online journal or brain…
There’s a saying: “The good die young.“ And in Ricky Hatton’s case, it certainly applies. You didn’t even have to be a fan of boxing to warm to Ricky as he was the people’s champion. Outside the ring he was one of the boys, never taking himself too seriously and when he was boxing you…
Years ago I was at a boring work team-bonding week. Well, most of it was boring apart from a bit I always remember about levels of communication. Did you know that non-verbal communication is often considered the highest level between humans. A quick raise of the eyebrow, a change of expression and even micro-expressions are…
I was looking through some old messages earlier (looking up some birthday dates). On occasion I read things I’ve written and I think to myself, “Wow, did I write this?

Birthdays. They’re a funny thing aren’t they.

Today just so happens to be…

Firing Up My Old Nokia 3330 – 20 Years (Ago) of Contacts Still Inside… And It Even Has A New Number (Trumpet Blows) You never know what you are you going to find when you switch on an old phone. I recently wrote about rediscovering my old Nokia 3330, which was the first mobile phone…

Obviously, there’s no way you can recall all of it unless you’re a savant and they’re usually socially stilted, so you don’t really want to be one of them if you can help it. With all that said, there are certain things people say that…
Rummaging Through Drawers Reveals First Mobile Phone (2001-2005) And A Pair Of Silk Knickers (Just Kidding) Imagine my surprise when I was rummaging through some drawers the other day, only to discover my very first ever mobile phone. It was 2001 and SMS texts had changed the game, meaning more and more people were snapping…
