#FollowJourn – Todd Nash
I was quite chuffed to find that journalism.co.uk had named me as their #FollowJourn for the day, a recommendation of journalists to follow online, with a link to this site in the post. It made my Monday morning in fact.
All in all, the perfect time to have ‘Fo’ shizzle, ma nizzle, it’s Krizzle Akabizzle’ as [...]

This morning I had the unusual experience of conversing with none other than Kriss Akabusi of Olympic and Record Breakers fame on Twitter. This was particularly pertinent for me, having been the founder of Team Awooga, something that my drinking buddies and I did as a joke on pub crawls, with Akabusi as our hero. [...]

I’ve recently started contributing to the relatively new Guardian Careers blog, where I write mostly about the idiotic things that I’ve done in my blissfully short working life thus far and mildly poke fun at those with a more blogworthy career than my own.
The first piece, ‘The art of working from home’, looked at the [...]

A lazy Sunday…
So in my boredom on this sunny Sunday afternoon I decided to take a walk around Bethnal Green. I ended up doing some primitive Parkour around Victoria Park and taking photos of everything I saw with my iPhone.
On climbing by Mile End station, I found some cool graffiti, set near that most beautiful of things; [...]

How to play…tube surfing
So you’ve had a few drinks, need to take the tube to your next watering hole, but find London underground journeys a little, well, boring. What you need in your life is tube surfing. The aim: make it from one stop to the next without using anything to lean on. No holding on to help [...]

Posting from the iPhone
So I have recently got myself an iPhone and I’m quite excited about the possibilities of using it As a blogging tool. I downloaded the wordpress application and am using it for this test post. It works quite well actually and the auto change function is a godsend as it saves so much typing time. [...]

An unashamedly blatant plug for my first piece of published work on guardian.co.uk, a game review for Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. I’m hoping that it will be the first of many.
In the mean time, you can find my Guardian contibutor page here.

Glastonbury 2009: Part two
With nobody that we were particularly bothered about seeing until Spinal Tap at 14:50, we decided to have something of a chill-out morning, sitting around the tent polishing off our extensive food shopping and generally enjoying the sunshine. Finding the queue for the showers to be at least an hour and a half long, we [...]

Glastonbury 2009: My experience
Having found out that I’d won VIP tickets for the Glastonbury festival on Monday afternoon, I needed to organise myself sharpish and throw some clothes together in time for Wednesday morning. Which, of course, I did on Wednesday morning, dragging bagfulls of clothes, toiletries and sleeping mats down to Reading, via a days work at [...]

Glastonbury 2009
As of tomorrow, I will be spending a very long, very drunken weekend at the Glastonbury Festival, having won a pair of VIP tickets in a competition at work. Yesterday. Evening. As you can imagine, this has left me feeling more than a little unprepared.
Currently, I don’t have a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, [...]
