Designed by Alex Jones My fellow Radio Presenter from year 2 of University, Ian Pinnell, has now graduated. In his place new student, Alex Jones, shall be presenting with me. As some of you may recall the past radio show called “Not Wireless Radio” covered... 

Blogging is a muscle which requires exercise. Yet no matter how dedicated you may be with travelling to the gym each week you may sometime go through a patch of absence. During these times it is easy to become lazy, to fall into a day to day routine which skips your once heavy physical activity. Unfortunately this has happened to me on the blogging side of my life. Shamefully it has almost been 1... 

Source: Reuters As of writing this I have safely arrived home from London. Microsoft security kept all employees up-to-date of the London riot situation and eventually many decided to leave and work remotely (one of the beauties of working for the world’s BEST software company!). The atmosphere in London is twofold; of panic and solidarity. Somewhat oxymoronic, ironically caused by morons who choose... 

I’m 21 years old yet I have been blogging in various forms over the last 6 years. Before 2005 I had no idea how blogging would have shaped my life. Now 6 years on I reminisce on what I have learnt and if I would have changed anything. Comments are Gold and Dust It is much easier to forget positive feedback than the negative. Negative comments build like dust and unless you brush them away it is... 

Hiding behind a veil of words is easy. “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” – Oscar Wilde Credibility is often casually exchanged with fraud to decipher interactions on the internet. The truth is that unless you have physically met an individual then it is difficult to evaluate the integrity of one’s online identity. Yet identity... 

Is it possible that social search and networking could be a limiting the scale of the internet? Watch the below video where I attempt to explain what I mean…   Thoughts?    Read More →

You can change the lives of children with speech, language and communication difficulties in a rather amusing way. Adopt a Word gives you the opportunity to own a little slice of the English Language, for £15 you can adopt a word of your choosing. Once you have adopted your word you can proudly show off your Certificate of Adoption as I have done below. As you can see I decided to go for the word... 

Used this picture on my application form. Not sure if it is good, a tad overexposed! After much support on Twitter and Facebook I have applied to appear on series 8 of BBC Apprentice. At this stage I have mixed feelings about my application. First cause of concern is the impact the show could have on my career if I were to appear on the show (if I were not to win). Secondly I have no idea for what... 

Learning how to let go is the key behind success, holiday time is just as important as work. Being able to let go in this communications age requires one to completely step back from the buzz and allow their mind to refresh and refocus. My holiday is about letting go of the internet, letting go of Word Processors and to enjoy being away from the London capital. So this is a friendly au revoir as I... 

“We all have this spiritual gift of reason It would be a blasphemy to turn it down. We are all Kings so put on your crown”     Socrates The above three verses conclude a poem I wrote in sixth form, it got published through the school in a book containing a larger collection of poems. Whilst all the poems featured an iambic pentameter which beat like a broken pacemaker (including mine),... 

This morning I took a trip to Jessica North’s blog to find her post on exam revision advice. A highly useful post and I recommend you to read it. Below is the method I generally use for exams. Exams do not Measure Intelligence Repeat this sentence over and over again, until you believe it. Some students at University are under the odd illusion that they are not intelligent and therefore they will... 

A Duck's Back It should be water off a duck’s back. At least that is what my granddad would say but yet I find myself in a dilemma. Is being labelled strange, creepy or eccentric good? Such terms are usually depraved in nature, rich in connotations of the most peculiar sort and have caused me to consider that perhaps the way I think or approach social situations is different. Although to call...
