This is an old wordpress blog, usng the classic Hemingway template, I used to combine some words and photos.

This is shattered fragment of a stumbleupon blog, long since now defunct, where I used to store favourite images, and attach poems to them (or vice versa). Just goes to show that for all its claims of ubiquity, the digital domain doesn't give you much of a purchase in permanence.

UPDATE: this site might be a bit quiet for the next few months as I act as the Newsweek/DailyBeast correspondent on the Leveson Inquiry and the ongoing News International revelations unfolding in London. I'll try to cross reference as and when I can, but my work can be followed by clicking the pictu

My CV was probably my first great work of fiction, and I've been constantly inventive trying to keep despair and insignificance from the door by trying to recompose my variegated and frankly unreliable career into some kind of compelling, believable and progressive narrative. I'm not sure it really

This redesign of my site brings together various different blogs and postings under one banner. I've been writing about how computer technology and the web revolutionises the means of production, distribution and exchange for 20 years or so now.

Inspired both by the digital revolution and the capacity for computers and the internet to 'electrify the word', I first created a website in the mid 90s (at some social space I don't even remember) and then uploaded my own website to demon around 1997. Of course this was genuine mixture of va

Stolen Moments
There's a moon in the sky
There's a light in your eye
As we walk through the mist
Without talking
The chill in the air
The thrill that you're here
All the best moments
Are stolen
Promises expectations
They always fail
Only the honesty of this moment stays
And though the winter's coming
We don't seem to mind
And though the leaves are falling
The leaves don't touch the ground
They never touch the ground
My plane's gotta go
Your coffee's getting cold
All the best moments
Are stolen
I could change my face
Change this time change this place
But the song on my lips
Isn't changing
Promises expectations
They always fail
Stays
And though the moment's fading
It never leaves my mind
And though your tears are falling
Your tears don't touch the ground
I won't let them
Touch the ground.

Though completely amateurish, and my first attempt at recording, here at least is the melody of the song.
Nothing Between Us
Once again, forgive the amateur singing and playing but this lyric needs the music.
Sheets still warm from the dryer
I spread them on my bed
And I look for some reminder
But there's nothing of you left.
No trace of you in the shower
Who would've known you'd been
Oh so lovely in my mirror
Like a portrait or a dream?
There's nothing between us
No future and no hope
It was just
One of those moments
And we should let it go
Let it go
What was there between us?
Some lipgloss on a glass.
Oh and where did you leave fingerprints?
A thread from your pink scarf?
Others always wanted something from me
You took me for who I was
And you loved me for no other reason
Than the logic of your heart.
There's nothing between us
No mortgages, no rings
It was just
One of those crazy
Temporary things
I drove so fast to the airport
I think you'd thought you'd die
And I died a little in the car park
You knew and kissed my eyes.
I said 'I hope you have a good summer'
And when you thought I'd gone
You cried and dropped your passport
But I was watching all along
There's nothing between us... (repeat)
Never anything between us
No promise, no goals
No lies, no disguise
So tell me why
I let you go?
But no
It's not over
I can't forget
That feeling
And yes
I don't expect
Whoever said
It would be easy?
But when
I see you there
It all makes sense
It is so easy
Easy
It's easy
No scarf
No thread
No sheets
No bed
In
Our skin
It's easy
You and me
Nothing
In between
