Jango.com

Hey all. Check out Jango.com to build your own interactive internet radio stations. It's wicked! I'm trying to embed one in the side-bar on the blog, but there seems to be some bugs with the html or something technical. Will get it sorted soon though I'm sure, what with all my technical expertise.

Job well done

The car park outside my office: "RESERVERD"!

Ranting about stuff - Ross Vs. Ronaldo

  • Here's a response I posted to a arctile on money site Fool.co.uk
  • Kinda got a bit off topic, which was "Rip-Off Britain" and ways to fix it. As you'd imagine the thread turned into a bit a of a whinge fest, but it kept me entertained for a while.
  • Here's an extract from my rant:

"Jonathon Ross isn't paid £18m at all, he's on just below £6m a year. This is still obscene - more than (most of) the top premiership footballers.

Football fans however pay their money and take a choice. We buy our shirts and season tickets in exchange for a service, we want the best players in to get the job done for our teams. They have spent their whole lives honing their skills, and ensuring that they are in the peak of physical condition, so they can get the results we crave. Jonathon Ross on the other hand, fluffy, pleasant and entertaining as he undoubtedly is, has no specific skills, apart from his chameleon-like ability to gush, grovel and kiss-up to celebrity A-listers and D-listers alike, week after week."

Venting

This is what I'd do if I wasn't so lazy. Though its wierd that if were even more lazy, I'd be more likely to do it. http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/venting.png

Struggling Musician Finds Golden Ticket?

Struggling Musician Finds Golden Ticket?
  • This is an aticle that got posted on Bristol Indy Media (an independant 'news' website) when I entered the Chargrilled t-shirts competition. I'm still trying to get Steve (Higgypopuk) Higgins to send me the music video so I can get it back up on YouTube. As soon as I do, I'll get it posted again here on Welshie's World.

The Commuter Train Diaries #2

  • The guy sat opposite me on the train, reading his book, has just finished his sandwich. Its elaborate packaging now lies discarded on the table in front of him. From where I sit, I can just make out the words printed on it:
" Simplicity. Honesty. Innovation. "
  • I'm thinking its just a sandwich.

The Commuter Train Diaries #1

  • Having spent a great deal of time lately thinking, almost obsessing, about finding "the right job", and feeling a lot of uncertainty about what exactly I was looking for, I've begun to realise that enjoying my work day to day depends at least as much on the way in which I perceive it as on any external factors.
  • Whatever I do, there'll always be elements of it which are dull, and bits which are more easy to enjoy. I'll still have to get out of bed on cold dark mornings, when sometimes I don't want to. Ultimately, every day we live can be whatever we chose to make it.
  • Thinking about this kinda stuff on the train this morning, I felt inspired to write this poem.
