I’m not going to make a full post today, it’s pretty late. But here’s a round up of what happened to me today.

• I found out I’m going to be entered into a Student D&AD Award
• Booked tickets to see Stewart Lee in 10 days
• Failed at a pub quiz and argued over the length of the ‘oche’. It turns out that Winmau darts set lied to me
• Didn’t do much work
• Was quite disappointed by Bioshock 2 but it’s early days yet.

I apologise for this awful list based post. Sorry…

After going to the Hall For Cornwall in Truro last night to see Stephen K Amos, I’ve started to think about how weird the idea of stand-up comedy is. Someone, who will be sweating profusely, will stand in front of you for an hour and attempt to make you laugh through stories that are vaguely based on reality.

Also, and don’t get me wrong he’s a funny guy otherwise I wouldn’t have paid to see him, but a majority of the laughs seemed to be contagious. It was like the whole audience was just laughing so they could be part of the moment. Like people were going nuts at the simplest jokes. It was kind of odd really.

Either way, the show was pretty good although I wish I knew someone who liked Stewart Lee as he’s playing in a few weeks time.

Day wasn’t a particularly good day, well it wasn’t bad. Just another day really. I just haven’t thought of anything else to write about, other than MAG for Nidzumi. That’s a recurring theme actually, maybe someone who has a pretty uneventful life blogging everyday isn’t a great idea.

Anything that would be interesting or hilarious probably shouldn’t be posted online, so I’ll censor myself. Maybe I’ll write something and post it up in December or something.

In January 2007, I set up Blogizzle, mainly so I could test my php skills. At the time I decided that learning PHP was a valuable way to spend my time and although I couldn’t tell you much about it now, I know enough to confidently code WordPress themes every quarter. Three years on and I’m still updating it, albeit now a little more regular due to this one a day thing.

In January 2008, I set up Nidzumi, mainly so I could run a gaming site the way I wanted to. I used to write at MSXBOX-World and I’m forever thankful for the chance I was given but, at the time, I felt like they had no ambition. I wanted to start a podcast, run annual features, set up columns – they were happy to carry on the same path. Only now do I understand their ‘lack of ambition’ but that learning curve was an enjoyable if tough one. Two years on and it’s going stronger than ever with regular articles and a great bunch of staff writing for it.

In January 2009, I set up The Wreckidz Podcast, mainly so I could post my aspiring ‘sets’ onto iTunes. Me and a friend, also called Sam, used to alternate from week to week and we kept up a regular weekly podcast for a majority of the year. Towards the tail end of 2009 we got a spot on local radio at 9PM, every Saturday. These shows took longer to produce on top of our normal weekly shows and the more we talked, the more we realised that we had moved on from that type of music – I only listened to electro and liquid funk for the podcast. One year on, we’ve stopped. They can’t all end happily.

In January 2010… actually I haven’t set up any website, mainly so I could focus on the ones I run at the moment. Oh, and I’m also doing a Graphic Design course, I should probably focus on that a little more. I’m tempted to turn graphicdesignforhumans.com – a project for uni – into a design blog. I live with a house full of potential writers, maybe one day.

Anyway I’m starting to ramble now, the point is – you’ve got a week left until February starts, setup a website.

I’m still trying to figure out why I’m doing this. I don’t think I have enough to blog about. Maybe I should start listening to those RJD2, Good Shoes & Hot Chip albums some more, so I can review them. Otherwise not much I can talk about.

I don’t lead an interesting life that isn’t full of uni work, sleep and eating. Maybe I should document some of my university design work and how that whole process works. Might be interesting to hear people’s feedback to it as well. Sounds like a decent idea.

Otherwise, not sure why I signed up. Writing every day has been more of a hindrance on my real writing if anything. That maybe because I’m struggling to review VVVVVV because it was simply enjoyable – neither brilliant nor terrible.

Anyway, expect more concise thoughts tomorrow.
