I’ve been meaning to write a proper post for a long time now as this poor old blog was starting to look horribly neglected.
Truth be told; when I first started blogging I used to take the time to craft each post, there was thought and detail put into it, and the writing was much more personal.
However, over time, it slowly became something more like to a “glorified Pinterest’ of cool stuff – mainly because my job changed. And that’s all fine; BUT the site was missing the thinking that went along with all that cool shit. It’s not that the thinking wasn’t there, I did it… but time was short, and I struggled to keep it short and make it coherent. So in the end I sacrificed it.
But, as those of you who follow me on Twitter may know, after 6½ years fabulous year at glue, I recently decided it was time for a change and resigned in October 2011.
I was going to post something a bit more longform then, but to be honest my head really wasn’t in the right place. And, whisper it, but I actually quite enjoyed switching off for a bit.
ALL CHANGE.
So it’s January 2012, and refreshed and re-invigorated I’ve joined the super talented team at Stinkdigital. I’ll probably talk about a few of the reasons in another post – but my focus has shifted a bit. I want to reflect that here too.
I was also inspired by this brilliant post from Iain Tait on the brand spanking new crackunit2.com. I strongly suggest you read it. For me it’s one of the best things written about the merits of ‘blogging’ and I want to buy him a pint for writing it.
In summary then… I’m back!!
All I need now is a shiny new theme.
LETS KICK THINGS OFF WITH A PROPER INTERNET VIDEO!!
Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Work has been mad busy.
After 10 great years in Shoreditch – glue Isobar are moving to new offices near Regents Park. We’re moving into a brand new space with other Aegis Media agencies, such as Posterscope, iProspect, Carat, Vizeum, and more.
Incredible footage of final Space Shuttle launch as it powers up through the atmosphere and out into space. Captured by a nearby passenger jet!! Awesome.
Thought I’d share what my brain has been bombarded with. I think I need help.

Hans Rosling’s famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport’s commentator’s style to reveal the story of the world’s past, present and future development.
