Avast there, ye land-lubbin’ surfin’ types. Now, we done promised the last pirate post would be the last. And the one before that, ’tis true, aye. But never trust a pirate where there’s rum involved!

Lingua Frankly
My Japanese might be bad, but it’s probably going to be good enough soon to get me a job translating video games. All together: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! Some great of Engrish/Japlish to be found here. Pic: Engrish.com
T-Shirts from Afar
Been a while since I’ve updated the t-shirts – I have been busy, with, among other things, beginning to learn Japanese. So Irasshaimase to you all 🙂 Am doing it through language tapes, and at the moment “we” (my tape friends and I) have introduced ourselves and are at the generic-language-course coffee shop, ordering aContinue reading “T-Shirts from Afar”
Cloudscape
At some point, I think I’d like to learn a lot more about clouds. For the moment however, here are some pictures, taken from behind my house at the weekend. On Saturdays, I can hear the rippling sound of the crowd when Arsenal score, because I live very close to Highbury, their stadium – theContinue reading “Cloudscape”
Because I’m in London…
…I feel like I should have at least one picture of the tube.
On The Move
Now that the blog’s been getting lots of hits, I’ve not done anything on it in a while…<ahem>. Partly this is because I had to give Pentax the Optio S4i camera back, so not been taking any pictures this week. I have shelled out for my own one though, so I should have that nextContinue reading “On The Move”
Where you’re from
Traffic to the site has leap to previously unheard of levels, such as double-figures… 😉 Partly because the excellent Josh Rubin’s Cool Hunting linked to me (“we’re not worthy” he thinks, showing his age), as did “gay internet society pioneer” (his own words, not mine) Honeytom. Honeytom is another of my friends blogging in theContinue reading “Where you’re from”
Eieio, Version 2.0
My first t-shirt post highlighted excellent online store MoreTVicar, and in particular, a brand called Eieio. I’ve just had an e-mail from one of their designers, James, asking me to show off two more of their very cool designs (shown below – click for an enlarged version). The speakers one in particular is very neat…Continue reading “Eieio, Version 2.0”
Wear The Force
Baseball might be one of the dullest sports ever invented (any suggestions for other contenders, please e-mail me, but not with ‘Cricket’ or ‘Golf’, as I did consider these)… Anyway. Baseball. Dull. But, unlikely as it this sounds, it has had a huge influence on fashion. One of, if not the, best trainer ever, theContinue reading “Wear The Force”
Out into the country
As it was a bank holiday last weekend, I drove out to Oxford. As well as going punting (well, I was sort of a tourist), I went out to see the white horse at Uffington. It’s made from chalk, and spans the side of a hill, and was originally constructed “2 or 3” thousand yearsContinue reading “Out into the country”
