This is an elongated version of an article I submitted to Ideas Tap for a columnist application. Sadly due to website issues (on their part) they didn’t accept the application, despite the fact I submitted it before the deadline. Which makes a hat-trick of rejections from applications with them. Oh well, it makes an alright [...]

One thing I love about London is the free newspapers – The Metro and The Evening Standard, both of which I believe possess a high quality of journalism, are easy to read, and (I believe) are not owned by Rupert Murdoch. However, like with most papers, you always get some grumpy old git writing in [...]

This site has not been as updated as frequently as I would like recently but this is for several reasons, which ironically make up a blog posting of sorts. One, I am still busy looking for work. It has been over 3 months now and I estimate I have made around 300 applications in at [...]

Recently I have been thinking about just how much technology is used on a daily basis, and how it is my generation that have actually reaped the rewards and furthered all of this innovation. Just recently I have started using Twitter more and joined LinkedIn in an effort to keep up with modern social networking, [...]
