Bonsainternet is my curated collection of sites that make the internet beautiful.
Other than the porn obviously.
This Tumblr is where ideas go to die.
And I say Thank God and Good riddance.
Ready Player One is a book that you can read if you can’t be bothered to actually listen to me tell you who I am in person.

People ask me questions. I make video answers. Somewhere in the process, I lose my dignity.
It’s win/win. Unless you’re me of course.
If I had not moved to America, I would have never found out about Community.
Ergo, even if my name gets accidentally confused with some kind of terror suspect and I end up doing hard time in Guantanamo, it was worth it.

My CV. Or Resume. A list of my professional engagements. A career timeline if you will. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
Feel free to have a look.
I am reading Peter F. Hamilton’s first novel and I reckon the “F” stands for “FUTURE”.
Although it probably doesn’t. It probably stands for Frank or something. Maybe Fred?

I’m reading this book because I thought it was an instructional manual on how to write poetry about the bad standards of oral hygiene that wreaked havok on the 1983 Scottish police Drama series Taggart . I really need to start reading the backs of books.

I am attending the Digital Media 11 course that’s currently in session in Hyper Island Stockholm. And you aren’t.

So. Apparently Psychopaths exist and we’re letting them thrive amongst us.
Maybe people need to think more about what that means for all of us?

I worked on a Kickstarter project that made just under a hundred thousand dollars
It’s Time well spent.
I have never run as fast as I have when I’m running away from someone who’s trying to make me run.
I am now that person. As such, my legs are close to splitting me in two.
I made a Superut highlighting the use of Defibrillators in TV and Film.
CLEAR!

Wise Men don’t fear fools who don’t read about how wise Wise Men are.
I read The Wise Man’s Fear and fear no fools.
Therefore I am Wise, it’s in the rules.
February is the month of the new.
Admittedly it’s convenient that it’s also the shortest month of the year as let’s be honest, ultimately I’m a pussy.

A friend told me that because I refused to watch The Walking Dead that I was DTH. Hopefully by finally doing so, I have been resurrected in her eyes.
However, with a quiet irony the first thing I plan to now attempt to lurch slowly towards her and feast on her delicious salty brains to teach her a lesson about empty threats.
I watched “The Social Network” last night. While doing so, I checked Facebook a total of 9 times. As such, it was kind of like watching “Trainspotting” while cooking up smack.

Take my advice, don’t keep the book near your wallet if you want to keep your money.
According to Al Gore, there’s a lot of things about to hit the fan. He is not a fan of this. So stop throwing stuff at him please.

I am now living in New York City, in that I sleep there and eat there more than I do anywhere else. This however, is not enough for me. I need to TASTE the unknown tastes, FEEL the unfelt feelings, HEAR the unheard music and SEE the unseen sights of New York. It may take a lot of time, effort, money and a shovel, but I will explore this city to the full extent of my ability.
Oh yes. I will.
QUESTION: Is Facebook causing an inability on my part to genuinely feel the internet is for anything other than Facebook?
EXPERIMENT: Give up Facebook from tomorrow evening until the New Year.
ANTICIPATED ANSWER: Before I used Facebook, I watched more TV.
HOPED FOR ANSWER: Maybe I’ll brush my teeth with less force?
I wrote the copy and developed the concept for this Agency website. I also wrote the copy and developed the concept for this description box, so it’s something I’m plainly a seasoned pro at.

Last year I and my siblings gave my dad a dog for Christmas. Unfortunately, this dog is like Michael J Fox in Back to the Future, in that she apparently needs discipline.
As such, I have decided to act as the Mr Strickland in this equation and train to her stop losing her temper when someone calls her a chicken.
I’m finally getting to the business end of this Swedish extravaganza and leaving it. For New York City.
Awesome.

As part of Hyper Islanding, we have to organise a 7 month internship somewhere around the globe.
And I will get the best one. Partially because of my winning smile. But mostly cause of a Voodoo curse that I have the ability to wield due to my saving the life of a Shaman’s family when I was in the hills of Haiti. But my smile’s awesome too.

This is a little collection of photos from my time in Sweden. If I were to describe Stockholm, it would be with a camera becuse whatever else it is, Sweden is ridiculously photogenic. It would literally be like spitting in the face of the baby Jesus if I didn’t spend all my time using whatever camera I had to hand trying to capture that and pin it here for everyone to see. So squirm away little Sweden, squirm squirm squirm.
