A new blog
Well I’ve finally consolidated the following into my new site:
- Very old posts from when I was 14 (in 1999!)
- Posts from my old site, webbunny.co.uk
- Posts from Tumblr
And I’m going to start microblogging here.
Most of my old posts are set as private – sorry about that!
Another fresh beginning 😉
I’m ready for my close-up.
Beautiful painting of Jean-Luc, thank you Chris!

Olympics
As sceptical as I am about the Olympics, I thought the opening ceremony was absolutely brilliant.
The iPhone is not and never was a phone. It is a pocket-sized computer that obviates the phone. The iPhone is to cell phones what the Mac was to typewriters.
John Gruber, looking back on five years of the iPhone.
Starting with the opening gag with Siri doing stand-up comedy and continuing through to Apple’s new maps and Siri’s new features, there was an unmistakeable “Fuck you, Google” undertone to the whole keynote. Apple is forcing Google out of iOS.
