So finally, the unveiling of my the fruits of my new camera phone. Mighty underwhelming is my verdict. So much for those 5 mega pixels! The focus is lame and the white balance. The reviews said “it feels more like a smart phone then a regular mobile”. Hmm, won’t be trusting that site again but… [Read more…]

Enough of these frivolous postings Zoe! To redress the balance between the vacuous and the worthy, here’s the text behind an address I made last Saturday at the Reuters Journalism Fellowship Programme’s 25th anniversary event at Oxford University.

Off topic again but this time I’m unapolagetic. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I can’t wait! The past 365 days have been fabulous. Admittedly it’s been an epic journey. I’ve learnt a lot about life and myself and others. Best of all it’s been a year in which I been able to put lessons learned… [Read more…]

Popped out of town for a few hours to see the folks. Pleased to find my kid sister has started up a hot new blog that I totally want to start contribute to to. The Nu Black is online collective of black creative talent from around the globe.

Oh dear. The rants are lining up! Popped into the coffee store on Brick Lane that has free WiFi. Nice that isn’t it – free WiFi? But since when does free WiFi justify undrinkable coffee? Really, the dudes who run this place are already taking the mick by decking out what is basically a former… [Read more…]
