I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

How is this going to get any better? No longer running over a whiteboard because there’s not that much content to go around. I don’t even like the idea of this, everything was just founded upon some presupposition that things were meant to be easier than they are. Which they aren’t. So it wasn’t. So I’m wrong. And its midday. I’m getting sunburnt whilst typing.
Can’t. Win. This. Week.
Pick the real clause. One of them is, I think. Whatever. Just over it.
Not even afraid of getting it wrong because I already have and it doesn’t seem to make anything perceptibly worse. Now it’s just broken things strewn everywhere. The wreckage of now.

New ad from Sony Bravia. The Sony brand doesn’t get much of a work out this time around, it’s only displayed separately from the Bravia and “like no other” brands. It seems they’re linking like no other and Bravia more with this campaign? Anyway, it’s great test-reel fodder with a 720 HD download available from their site. Only 90 seconds, I’m hoping they’re going to release a longer one. As with the last one, the making-of is worth watching. I actually found it way more emotive than the slightly-austere real thing, because there was a cheering crew (of 200!!) and crowd and real explosion sounds. The real ad is brilliant, sure, but the making-of is more moving.

Well, where chocolate milkshake = work of fiction. There is a reason I wrote my extension 2 major work in the same amount of time it took for me to write two essays coming to only half of its size! But uni is more fun, if slightly more work. I will keep using the f- word to try and fool myself into thinking that Thursday’s one won’t be so bad. It is starting tomorrow, after a relatively-relaxing history lecture.
Anyway I’ll probably stick essays up online in a day or two, not too soon because of the stupidly low late penalties our uni has which would make opportunistic plagiarism of that sort quite simple to execute. Quite simpler to defend from my perspective once they discovered it (if), but whatever :P
Now… geek time!
