I’m in partial chocolate coma as a I write this. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is playing in the background. Life seems to be one of these rusty conveyor belts of past regrets, future anxieties, and a present…

Maybe you celebrate it. Maybe you think the Easter Bunny is a furry capitalist conspiracy (which is fair lol) Either way, take the time off. If you celebrate… Eat the chocolate. Hug your weird family. Even Uncle Gary, who still…

This weekend I’ll be doing nothing but reading and resting. I still feel meh. Whatever it is that I’ve caught is still kicking my ass. If you’re looking to join me in a mind fuck wrapped in existential dread served…

I’ve had one of those days where I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. So a little TLC was had. I woke up. Did a few things and then got back into bed and got watching one of…

So a little while ago I happened to participate in the weirdest threesome of my life. NOT THAT KIND You perverts. I don’t mean anything sexual. I mean from a friendship and relationship point of view, the kind that makes…

I see Black Mirror is back in the mix on Netflix and this new series is supposed to be insane. It’s basically a tech dystopia funhouse mirror that shows us all the ways the future is going to be terrifying…

An ex client hit me with the question the other day and this seems to be a recurring theme for anyone who slides into my world. “How do you do what you do?” And I could feel it. This little…

I wrote a post on FB today outlining what us nerds like to call ad fatigue. Which is boring cause all it is, is when your ad starts to die off and you gotta refresh it by either writing some…

So. Shopify’s CEO just announced his brilliant plan to replace hiring with AI, because… Checks Notes Nothing says “we value our people” like making them audition for their own jobs against a machine that thinks “synergy” is a personality trait.…

Yep, you read that right. It’s time for Fridays’ dose of words. But yes. Life’s a vending machine. A big, soulless, fluorescent lit vending machine. You stand there, squinting at the choices. Rows of chips, candy bars, weird protein snacks…

You ever lay down and think about death? Kind of like a creeping rot… That’s what boredom is. It’s not harmless but it’s akin to death. It’s the kind of thing that turns your brain into mush and makes your…

You need rules. Big ol’ filthy rules. The kind you set for yourself. The kind you stand by, even if it makes people uncomfortable. (Please don’t do anything semi-naked outside of someone’s window. It’s generally frowned upon in society in…

It’s almost become a thing for me to do micro book reviews or give recommendations and why… So if you’re wanting a little break from my madness then check these out. The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus Why read…

Bold statement right? Well it’s true. In the online space a lot of the copywriters write for other copywriters. They want to impress each other and get a little pat on the back from their peers with a little “Well…

There’s nothing like having a lazy Sunday watching random stuff pop up on Youtube. Today was a David Blaine internet documentary about him and his magic… I personally don’t know what the dude is made of but he has taken…

Which is not to say we aren’t allowed to have bad days. A lot of the times I might get a question on how I come up with ideas or generally always have something to talk about. And the thing…

But it was October 8, 2011. At Forbidden Planet in London. I was the lucky to get to Terry Pratchett’s last London book signing for his book Snuff. He did do a couple of limited signings in 2014 but what…

I was perusing Threads today over a coffee. GASP I know. “Stephen you don’t really use social media that much” True. But every now and then I come across a genuine soul who asks for advice about how they can…

Day in and day out. I write these silly little emails… Day in and day out. Without fail, they get delivered into your inbox. Sometimes they’re good. Sometimes they’re “meh” Sometimes I’m like “I shouldn’t have sent that.” Although I…

I mean I was going to post an elaborate tale about me quitting writing. Taking up bare knuckle boxing and crossing it with belly dancing but hey… There’s always next year.What am going to say though is this:You are loved.You…

On the 24th of March a lone developer by the name of Tyler (TVGS) launched a viral hit of a game. Something he thought would’ve been a meme of a launch right off the bat… As of yesterday the peak…

I’ve tweaked the audio software and now things sound crisp.(I just need to find a chair that doesn’t squeak cause you can hear it once haha)So I’ll be doing more of a structured audio rant/podcast/tape type of thing and I…

Are the exact words I’d imagine Hayao Miyazaki would’ve used if he was super fluent in English, to shit on the tech bros who have ripped his style and took a punt at his creative legacy… I mean social media…

I’ve been on an Albert Camus binge again. His philosophy centres on absurdism, the idea that life has no inherent meaning, and our search for meaning often clashes with the silent, indifferent universe and when you look at it from…

And as with anything. The theft-y Mctheft of artist works seem to be getting worse as the days go on… You can read the full article here, especially if you care for creative work. That being said. A chap named…

What’s that you may ask? Kicking what to the curb? Fear of judgement, that’s what. If you look around online or even offline in person. People are scared shitless to do anything because they’re scared of being judged by their…

The latest internet memesation is taking off. Jacked up ex footballer turned life coach-guru-sauce Ashton Hall has the internet losing its shit over his morning routine. The dude is out there taping his mouth shut like he’s prepping for a…

Not everything you do is going to be an absolute banger straight off the bat. I mean if it was then damn, you’d be rollin’ in the money and popularity and all the status you could ever dream of… The…

Quantity is the goddamn engine that drives quality. Michelangelo wasn’t born with the gift of perfect carving… No. He learned to do that. He cut, he hacked, he made sloppy, half baked messes until… …until he started making something worth…

but I’m considered a genius cause I always look at the smarter folks and apply what they share in my life. It doesn’t always work out. Sometimes it backfires like shit and well, you gotta roll with what happens. Well.…
