jellynewt: The move from Wogan to Evans on BBC Radio 2
http://jellynewt.blogspot.com/2010/01/move-from-wogan-to-evans-on-bbc-radio-2.html
Monday, 11 January 2010. The move from Wogan to Evans on BBC Radio 2. The fact that Radio 2 has cut Sarah Kennedy’s slot in favour of Chris Evans marks a double blow for me in the mornings. I used to enjoy waking up to Sarah Kennedy going through the newspapers, largely because I don’t buy one and Kennedy is mad as a hatter so it was doubly entertaining. The listener contribution on the Wogan show made you realise just how many very cleaver, witty and talented people there are out there. The listener...

gyrovagueness: OK, there was no puma
http://gyrovagueness.blogspot.com/2008/12/ok-there-was-no-puma.html
Back and forth across the glistening surfaces. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. OK, there was no puma. One of these excuses as I recall was 'escaped puma at Coulsdon'. So I often say this when delayed on public transport, making it one of my habitual overused sayings, like 'I'll have a latte please', or 'They're just dust beneath our chariot wheels'. Until he found out it was from me, Paul was impressed with Emirates for this bit of customer care. so I suppose everybody was a winner. December 17, 2008 at 1:...

gyrovagueness: June 2008
http://gyrovagueness.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Back and forth across the glistening surfaces. Thursday, June 26, 2008. Alternative Practice in the 1980s. My first degree was in Fine Art, but not just Fine Art: 'BA (Hons) Fine Art (Alternative Practice)'. The brackets-Alternative-Practice-close-brackets bit meant things that weren't painting or sculpture, though it sounds like 'general weirdness'. Mostly I made video pieces, some of which surfaced recently in the archives of Lux. The contrast between flawed bodies and pristine technology. Based on...

gyrovagueness: April 2008
http://gyrovagueness.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Back and forth across the glistening surfaces. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Trax of the ElectroNorns. Some things from the past few days. Went to a meeting in Bury, with a lift from a driver whose online routeplan, produced with the cold solid-state logic of the electronic Norns who weave the journeys unspooled by such devices, took a direct route infinitely longer and more interesting than a human one. Pigged out on sandwiches and Hula Hoops. And later some apple pie. Links to this post. That I cannot see.

gyrovagueness: October 2007
http://gyrovagueness.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Back and forth across the glistening surfaces. Sunday, October 21, 2007. Every young boy's dream - specially in those nice pajamas. Then there's this old favourite - how can a static image have such great comic timing? There are infinite amounts of this ort of thing at Superdickery.com. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Links to this post. Friday, October 12, 2007. Sense, but it is a bit odd being identified with one/two bits of anatomy, no matter how bizarre. Links to this post. Can I get a...

gyrovagueness: February 2008
http://gyrovagueness.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Back and forth across the glistening surfaces. Saturday, February 23, 2008. There's a tiny secondhand bookshop at the top of the town, with aisles so narrow that I had to deploy reading glasses to read the spines, so close was I forced towards them by the facing shelves. It was a delight for all the senses, as the owner smoked rollups in the doorway, the tang of (I think) Old Holborn mingling with the delirious scent of old pages, bindings, bookdust. I got a copy of Worcestershire. Meanwhile the corpse o...

jellynewt: September 2009
http://jellynewt.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 September 2009. So, I’m relocating to here. Hopefully a better, new home for my photos where I will be able to upload new work and have a space available for comments too. It is a relocation, so initially the images uploaded may be ones you’ve seen before, only this time with a short commentary too. Sorry about the repetition. I’ll get it over with as soon as possible. When the relocation is complete I will delete the website and that will be that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

jellynewt: August 2009
http://jellynewt.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 August 2009. A brief report of my 4 encounters with the Home Delivery Network (HDNL):. Delivery driver left my Christmas presents on the front doorstep (we live on a main road). Result: parcels (i.e. all my Christmas presents) were stolen. Delivery driver threw £60 of (hardback) books over our (over 6ft) gates, in the rain. Result: Books not only landed in lake-like puddle, but also landed on their corner and were destroyed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Philip K. Dick. Walking home to 50.

jellynewt: Redemption 2009
http://jellynewt.blogspot.com/2009/02/redemption-2009.html
Monday, 23 February 2009. Redemption 2009 was brilliant. This was our first time at this particular convention and it certainly lived up to expectations. For years friends have been telling us about how friendly and fun it was - and it's true! As with all things though, hearing endless praise is never as much fun as enjoying a good moan or bit of gossip. So I shall swiftly move on from my unending praise for Redemption and everyone there to discuss the Britannia Hotel in Coventry. Moving into the room it...
