You only have to log onto FaceBook ...

Frankly, I don't think I do.
On LateGaming, I write about gaming/fiction and I guess it embodies my creative side. On NiMUG I get my Mac fix. There's a couple of other places I write (sometimes anonymously) and they have their niches.

The always entertaining John Welch rips the Scobleizer a new one when Robert Scoble, media darling, has a hissy fit because an update didn't work out the way he thought it would.

I hate agreeing with John Dvorak. I hate it because it usually means I'm wrong. Not just "Oh well" wrong but seriously, dangerously, life-threateningly wrong.

I don't have an anger problem. It's been said to me recently that I get annoyed or frustrated but not angry. But then PJ reckons I write angry posts.
Am I angry?

The other mobile networks in the UK are shitting themselves.
Fraser Speirs gives us an anecdote of the lies and FUD told by T-Mobile when he decided to ditch his contract and switch to an iPhone on O2.
