    Movember - Final Day

    Well, it's all nearly over ... I've got through the itching, insults and finger-pointing and ended up with quite a nice tash (at least I think so). I would like to thank every single person that has donated over the past month. Thanks to you all I have raised £155 and the team has (so far) raised a total of £535! I know there is still some money to be put on the system, so hopefully we'll break the £600 ba...

    1/32 Mk II Viper from Battlestar Galactica

    Even though I liked the 70s Battlestar Galactica, the re-imagined series blew me away. The gritty "realism", internal politics and obvious desperation of a persecuted species drew me in and kept me watching week after week. Of all the Sci-Fi series I loved watching, this is the only one that I actually own in full on DVD. So, as I had a bit of a break from my current MSc, I decided to build the recently released 1...

    Daleks conquer and destroy!

    Needing an escape, I recently completed a quick modelling project of one of my favourite TV bad guys, a Dalek from Dr Who. However, I'm never content to build something straight out of the box, so I had to dabble a wee bit with the stock kit ... The kit is one of the two Dalek models that came in the Airfix 'Daleks in Manhatten' box set. Now, I do like the overall design of the 2005 style travelling machine, but...

    Family of Noise: a window into my youth

    Back in the late '80s I was in a band. Then again, who wasn't? It started off as simply mucking about in a mate's garage in Molash - first as "Kicking the Kerb" and then "Additional Noise". Finally we settled on a name that we felt suited us, taken from a track on Adam and the Ants' first album, "Dirk Wears White Sox". The line-up at the time consisted of me on bass, Phil Harvey on guitar, Darren Reed on drums...

This Movem­ber, the month formerly known as Novem­ber I’ve decided to donate my face to rais­ing aware­ness about pro­state can­cer.  My dona­tion and com­mit­ment is the growth of a mous­tache for the entire month of Movem­ber, which I know will gen­er­ate con­ver­sa­tion, con­tro­versy and laughter.

I have recently star­ted study­ing a 3-year part-time MSc in Digital Mar­ket­ing Com­mu­nic­a­tions. The reason I chose to do this was because I felt I have worked in the digital industry since 1997 and because I have been self-taught all this time, per­haps I would bene­fit from some focused learn­ing in this area.
