TV programmes debuted on the UK iTunes store today. At the moment you can buy (for £1.89) programming from ABC, Disney and MTV amongst others. More info here.
Until we see some BBC and Channel 4 programmes on there, I don’t think this will really go mainstream, although some big shows like Ugly Betty and Grey’s [...]

On my trip, I discovered that there is a chain of record shops in California called Rasputin Music. Rasputin was basically a guy that lived in Russia at the turn of the 20th Century. He was really controversial because he came to have a lot of influence over the Russian Royal Family at the time. He [...]

The answer is yes. This is a real dude, and not an actor. Neither is the baggy pants guy with the weird top thing beside him an actor. They were waiting for a bus.

Well maybe you can now, as I saw this shop in Dallas. It could be a shop where you can get your cat tattooed. Then again, it may not be. If you are in Dallas and want to check it out, it was on Beltline.

One of [...]

I am off to Dallas and maybe California as well for a week and a half! And then I’m taking some time off in Belfast before going back to work. I have 20 hours travelling time in total tomorrow as I am flying through a place called Raleigh/Durham wherever that may be. Apparently it’s a [...]

Well I was out for the first time in AGES this week, not once but twice! Thursday night was a night catching up with Christine, G and Jill, who was going on holiday for a week - she’s raving in Ibiza as we speak. Probably. We started at Apartment and then went down to the [...]

This is an ad for South African mobile network MTN. It was created by ad agency Metropolitan Republic, and I thought it was pretty cool. They’ve also done a good one involving clapping for the same client. A lot of planning went into this one I bet!

Toodle pip! This is probably how my Mum wishes I look - very posh, and with the title of Viscount Upper Dundee! Monifieth probably would have sounded even better, but never mind.
See my posh twin in his full glory here, or make your own here! (It is a Burger King site advertising their new burger which [...]
