A web standards cover of "Hands to Heaven" called "Hands to Boag" is a delightful piece of web history, made even better by the fact that one of the podcast hosts was actually in the original band. I rescued it from bit-rot so you can still enjoy it.

Ten years ago I registered this domain from my brother's couch in Clapham, fresh off the boat from Trinidad. The blog itself came a few months later. I grabbed screenshots of the old designs this morning -- they are gloriously funky.

Threw an 80s-themed housewarming for the Warwick crowd. Forgot to take any photos myself, but others captured it well. More intimate gatherings coming soon for those who haven't visited the new flat yet.

Inspired by a friend posting old photos, I'm sharing an embarrassing collage of myself at 16. My hair was ridiculous then and remains ridiculous now. Also, yes, I dressed as Neo for Halloween. The Matrix had just come out. Don't judge me.

Google's IPO is filed, jobs are back, and it smells like 2000. My brother just started a sports blog too. The boom is back, baby.

Jonathan Brandis killed himself, and it bummed me out more than I expected. I'd forgotten he existed until I saw the headline, and I'll probably forget again by tomorrow. Which honestly makes it sadder and more pointless than if I'd just missed him all along.

Boy Meets Boy is now in colour for a month of Foxman comics, which means more sexy gay Asian anime-esque characters. Also, I rediscovered an old post of mine that I remember feeling desperately urgent about at the time.
