Wooster Collective is the Web site of some New Yorkers who are into contemporary art and illustration… which is cool.
Podcasting is the automated dissemination of audio content using RSS and MP3, which is also cool.
When Wooster announced they were launching a podcast, of course I subscribed at once. I expected their inaugural interview to […]
I already documented my ambivalent feelings about graffiti.
I’m really quite keen on the new piece that’s sprung up on the riverside near Mill Bridge, so I snapped a photo of it on the way to our nice Sunday Lunch, that Tom organised in the Newbold Tavern.
I’ve added a few other new pictures to the […]
This is starting to get irritating.
Yesterday afternoon — in broad daylight — someone threw a stone through our already broken window, breaking the second pane. Steve saw who probably did it. I’m sure Debbie will document her dissatisfaction with the police’s lack of interest.
On the off-chance that the culprit is reading, here’s the inconvenience […]
It’s nice to see that The Decemberists are fellow Wordpress users — which of course means I can now follow their news via RSS. W00T!
A new album is out in March. They have a US tour scheduled, so hopefully they’ll bring it to Europe afterwards.

The support act was Hard-Fi (not to be confused with Hi-Five), who were a competent shouty guitar band with occasional wibbly synth and pedal effects. Some niggling between the singer and guitarist seemed like […]
Don’t you just love it when you find something that takes the legwork out of those time consuming but unavoidable office chores? Such as compiling buzzword bingo cards…
Thanks to Wordpress 1.5’s “pages” feature, Famous Names Which are Also Sentences joins us on hartnup.net.
Daz turned up as promised, almost on time.
We had a curry and Caught Up. We met Laura, Gary and Paul in The Jug and Caught Up some more. Actually by that point things had deteriorated into mostly meaningless (but fun) banter.
When the Jug closed, we briefly considered rock night at Breeze, but saw sense […]
I woke this morning to a text message from Neighbour Steve “I assume you’ve seen your window”. I had not. It turns out someone or something had broken a large and presumably expensive patio door pane overnight:
I let Gary know I’d be late for work, and set about getting crime reference numbers and chasing […]
