Since we launched our new website we have been featured on quite a few portals as an example of good web design and coding standards. Its been great for traffic as well as the ego!

However, today broke boundaries as our global reach stretched as far as China and Japan! That's why I love this medium, things crop up in the most unlikely of places :)

Now is the winter of our discontent.

The digital world is an exciting place to be right now, but it’s time to get selective. Trouble is, browsing the web, it’s so easy to get distracted and go off on tangents.

My digressions used to include thoughts such as ‘how long have my trainers been so dirty’ or ‘how long have I had my umbrella up and it’s not been raining?’ Now they’re more frequently ‘how long have I spent on this website!?’

I guess Shakespeare was right when he said, ‘All the world’s online, and all the men and women merely avatars.’

I switched my ipod off last night so that I could listen to the elderly gentleman sitting on my bench at the tube station.  He was singing about Jesus.

He had a nice enough sounding voice, but it was the fact that his eyes were closed that really struck me and the serene look on his face. I watched him singing, meaning every word and I thought about updating the playlists on my ipod, but actually, maybe I just need to turn it off every once in a while, to see what else I can hear.

I know what you're thinking, but apparantly it’s not a diet, it’s a mixture of "dietary and lifestyle changes that will enable you to lose weight without the unpleasant side-effects normally associated with dieting."

What are the 'unpleasant side-effects' I wonder, putting on weight I guess.

The 'No diet' diet will change the way your body responds to food. 

Well that's great, but whilst we're at it, how about ‘No payment’ bills and ‘No hangover’ alcohol or 'No show-up' work,  then you’d really be talking!

Driving from Brighton to London, I ended up sat behind this truck with the words "Alan Partridge" smeared in the grime.

A few things occured about this; firstly, it's really high up - so the person must have decided to either climb a ladder or another vehicle in order to make the name stand out. And secondly... why? Were they actually called Alan Partridge and just wanted to add a kind of "... woz 'ere" type thing? Or were they fans of Alan Partridge and felt the best way of expressing their admiration was via the gift of dirt graffiti?

I really wish I knew.
