Ode to Passive Consumption

BLOG: Ode to Passive Consumption

Now is the winter of our discontent.

The digital world is an exciting place to be right now, but it’s time to get selective. Trouble is, browsing the web, it’s so easy to get distracted and go off on tangents.

My digressions used to include thoughts such as ‘how long have my trainers been so dirty’ or ‘how long have I had my umbrella up and it’s not been raining?’ Now they’re more frequently ‘how long have I spent on this website!?’

I guess Shakespeare was right when he said, ‘All the world’s online, and all the men and women merely avatars.’

Not on my playlist

BLOG: Not on my playlist

I switched my ipod off last night so that I could listen to the elderly gentleman sitting on my bench at the tube station.  He was singing about Jesus.

He had a nice enough sounding voice, but it was the fact that his eyes were closed that really struck me and the serene look on his face. I watched him singing, meaning every word and I thought about updating the playlists on my ipod, but actually, maybe I just need to turn it off every once in a while, to see what else I can hear.

Wrap Up Brother

In the midst of a deadly cold snap us men need to make sure we look after ourselves or we might get the sniffles. Nasty. Women have been known to get cold ears, I suggest ear muffs and a big dose of Zippit!

Anyway, Nick Frost (the man flirts with danger in his name alone! What a hero) ably demonstrates the dangers of man flu in this government health video. Optimistically the big trooper still ends on a positive note, an inspiration to us all.
