Sharing my awful story →
I’ve been blogging for about five years now and around three years ago I had a weird idea of writing a novel through a blog.
The problem with this idea is that 1) I’m not…

Time to pay equally for Eurovision? →
So it’s been a week since the Eurovision Song Contest happened and the United Kingdom, despite entering a reasonable song, getting just 14 points and coming in last place.
The reason…
So do I go and watch Afghanistan play Jersey in the semi-final of the Cricket or do I stay in the office and post live updates to BBC Jersey

I’ve just signed up for Seesmic - this means I can post video comments to sites with the plugin - would you prefer a text or video response?
As an ADHD riddled geek cricket pulls me two ways. 1) I love it for the mass of stats involved but 2) I hate it because it takes so long!
I just moved a story on the BBC Jersey homepage about babies but forgot to remove the image that was previous there. It was a cricketer.
I can’t stop staring at TwitterVision. I have too much work to do to be staring at TwitterVision. Stop me now!
Would a blog post about Twitter get a better reaction than a Tweet about blogging? Can you tell I’m aiming for the 500?
Bill and Ben, Bill and Ben, Bill and Ben the flower pot men!
This is my 446th tweet - do I pace myself for the final 14 or do I go all out and get to the big 500 as quickly as I can without pissing off
If you were doing a show about a local music scene would it be mainly music, mainly chat or an even mix of both? I think music personally.
Writing an article tomorrow about a farmer in Jersey who had a ‘field of dreams’ moment and built a cricket ground in his garden.

If Stephen Fry joined Twitter would Twitter survive? For that matter if Dave Gorman joined Twitter would Twitter survive?

I’ve never been much of a sportsfan, in fact I’ve never been a sportsfan at all - I follow Arsenal now and then but that’s more because my father and grandfather both supported Arsenal.
