Sexy Hot Love Hats

I blame this man who found a superbly appropriate way of responding to “pron spam”. I also strongly recommend his work for those of you with a penchant for bite-sized, well-observed, well-written fiction.

Rise and Shine Sponsorship Bidding War

deek — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:18:22 +0000

Thrilled that we’ve raised about £75 English quid for BuskAid already – there’s a bidding war to be next week’s sponsor. Only 23 hours left…

Rise and Shine

deek — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:22:34 +0000

My new endeavour – a combination of masochism and vain ambition, the perfect launchpad for comedy and art.

Secular Theology

Deepak Chopra is on Seesmic, which is nice as he’s lifted the discourse level somewhat, at the same time as pushing his book, of course… but nothing wrong with that, when it’s on such an interesting subject.

We started discussing the spark of divinity; my Seesmate Dave Shannon said some stuff which set me off on one.

Flat 34 #10: Thinking Twice

deek — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:36:11 +0000

In this episode, I question the whole deal – to move, or not to move? and visit Brighton to make up my mind.

Flat 34 #9: Shit and Philosophy

deek — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:20:29 +0000

Shit happens. Shit hits the fan. Shit gets stuck to your shoe and makes a bad smell. It’s how you deal with it that counts. Do you clean your shoe or blame the pavement? Do you shoot the dog or insist the owner gets training?

Flat 34 #8: Food

deek — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:39:44 +0000

Islington Farmers Market happens every Sunday behind the town hall. Good quality fruit and veg make all the difference to surviving the city.

Flat 34 #7: Holloway Road

deek — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:33:41 +0000

The Holloway Road, the A1, red river of metal that cuts through Islington like a molten tributary, runs from Highbury Corner up to Archway, whence it continues to Edinburgh, Scotland. After 24 years, I have mixed feelings about this place, as this episode of Flat 34 explains.

Flat 34 #6: Underground

deek — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:44:08 +0000

I discuss the roots of my caring for the domestic environment, and then engage with the real world by going underground, traveling to work on London’s tube.

Instant Cheese

In response to Lloyd Davis’ excellent rendition of the song, “Fly Me To The Moon” I made the following video on Seesmic.

Funk

deek — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 22:18:58 +0000

I finally got time after almost a month and a half to make another Funk podcast. I included an interview I did with Mr Lagowski, he of the techno-anarcho-buddhism and familial kindness.

I called it the “Dark Techno / Raw Funk London Mashup” and also posted that phrase an hour ago on Twitter. Let’s see whether this blog post beats Twitter to that phrase appearing for the second time in Google.

It’s not quite a Googlewhack, which is two words according to the established rules. I did recently get a Googlewhack on the term, Greebious Hoofious – try it – although it’s gone beyond just the single reference by now.

Marilyn, by Unio and Petitio

deek — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 07:59:33 +0000

I was on the tube yesterday returning from Chiswick, and got stuck at Victoria. “There is a problem at Green Park,” announced the public address system. Certainly there was, I could smell the smoke! So I exited and walked past Buckingham Palace, and into Green Park where the shadows were long and the commuters bundled past royal banks of daffodils. It felt surreal.

When I got back home, I found that Unio and Petitio, my favourite fictional band had uploaded two new tracks, so I made myself a frothy cocoa, and made the lovely magic musicians a nice cheap pop video from my touristic camera observations, before bed.
