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.

Is there anything English-related that Patricia Parker won’t crop up in? My goodness. Shakespeare, modernism, Victorian literature, post-modernism, Romance, and goodness knows what else… her name just keeps cropping up. Lucky Stanford. I believe the word is “prolific”.
It just occurred to me that, to anyone listening from the other side of a wall whilst I’m using Photoshop, GIMP, Inkscape, Illustrator etc., it would sound an awful like I’m fragging the crap out of people. Ignoring, for a moment, the inconvenient problems of HF loss through walls (let’s say they’re blind and standing nearby, or the walls are made from paper), and the fact that I’m not that good at Counter-Strike to start with (and consequently after a minute or two of fragging sounds they should anticipate a sigh and then a cessation of clicking that just isn’t forthcoming with most graphics work).
Frag on, you crazy designers.
Struggling to come up with a new product name? Branding firm Igor have a freakin’ brilliant “Naming Guide” available for free in PDF format on their site. It doesn’t magically make me any more creative :( but it’s a brilliant resource. If I bookmarked sites anymore, this would be one of them. Not in a lost-at-the-bottom-of-favorites-folder kinda way, either.
I was just struck by how awesome it is to be able to read the word of God on a computer. Just… wow. Coolness. God uses IT. (I of all people should be more aware of this… we continue to learn).
