A Bachelor Moment

I'm in holding the fort mode during my exam times as my parents have gone away to have a memorial for my Grandmother where she lived before. So, as much as it might seem trivial to be enjoying having a rather large house under my command.. I thought I'd share a quick fun list of reasons why it can be good.

(Yes.. I am studying.. this is on my break!) [Click to read the full post]

I'm Famous!

My rave reviews appear to have found their way onto the main page of a very well known hosting company. I did used to work for them, but I still beleive in their products and use them a fair bit.

Happy New Years!

Welcome to 2007!

Its a new year, and I just got back from my New Years party (Jan 3rd). Yes, it was that good.

So Ed, what did you do for new years? [Click to read the full post]

I have a fascination with how people are convinced or persuaded by marketers to buy the most absurb things because of a 'need'. Its fascinating stuff.

If you've ever taken a marketing course in school they tell you how it all works and teach you everything. Its more or less stale and all figured out. There is another market that people aren't so aware of, and I have yet to find a course that deals with. Thats online marketing and its still in its infant stages. [Click to read the full post]

Ed the Enigma

In capturing video clips for my friend Pete's wedding I stumbled across what they said about me at my high school graduation. It wasn't the most wonderful thing at the time, but looking back I am kind of glad they said what they did - it suits me well :) [Click to read the full post]

Whats going on in your little world today?

(Or: Whats in a name?)

So, I was on my was to bed and did a quick scan of MSN and I'm really quite amazed at the state people are in. MSN names and our 'online personalities' so to speak have become our windows to the soul. Or at least to what we want people to see... [Click to read the full post]
