breath of fresh air

Its easy to get carried away with all this Web 2.0 nonsense. So while you are trawling the blogosphere, desperately looking for invites to CoComment and seeing whether 30 Boxes does indeed live up to all the hype, pause for a moment and look at two of my favourite blogs that offer a slightly different perspective on Web 2.0.

Go Flock Yourself - Witty, incisive, opinioniated comment. Always worth reading. The blog title alone still brings a smile.

Squash - Phil Sim also has some interesting, thought provoking views from Down Under, albeit with slightly less profanity. I have to say I find myself agreeing with Phil's recent assessment of 30 Boxes.

Had a drink in The Plough in Hemel Hempstead last night.

Conveniently located for the Buncefield Oil Refinery, The Plough offers fine ales and traditional English fare.

Bad news: Guinness was off.

Good news. Bitter and lager looked and tasted just like Guinness

Food: Sausages and mash with black pudding. Gravy was greasy, a little oily in fact.
