I love this bookshelf by designer Shawn Soh. Simple, fun and elegant. I wish I could fit one in my flat.

I have been enjoying a series of Podcasts from XFM called “Marsha Meets…” In each episode Marsha Shandur interviews a different comedian about their career in comedy. It’s simple, funny and very interesting and features comedians such as Milton Jones, Kevin Eldon, Richard Herring, Chris Addison, Isy Suttie and Marcus Brigstocke. Check it out on the XFM website or subscribe to it on iTunes if you like that sort of thing.

I’ve been seeing a spate of Lego related technology lately. These timeless blocks are being applied to various products such as flash drives, usb hubs, a mac mini and my favourite an MP3 player (pictured below).

I really want to see one of these micro-mini sculptures in the flesh somewhere around London but I haven’t been eagle eyed enough yet. For now I’ll have to make do with the brilliant blog Little People by Slinkachu.

I’ve been having some security issues with the website over the last couple of days. It’s all back up and running again so normal service will be resumed.

Here is a little monster to keep the pesky hackers away in future.

This monster is from a bigger illustration with loads of other monsters that I’m working on. This may be ready for viewing sometime soon.

I’ve been listening to the Collings And Herring Podcast for quite a while now. Full of ramshackle talking and the odd bit about things going on in the newspapers, it is usually done in the comedian Richard Herring’s attic when Andrew Collins brings over his laptop to record on its internal mic. It’s very funny but not for people with delicate ears. If you listen to podcast number 57 you can even hear some jingles I made for them (and Richard’s own special way of being grateful for my efforts).

This week they are doing a 5 day live run of the podcast in front of an audience at the Edinburgh Festival. These are then put up on iTunes later in the day for people who couldn’t attend to listen to. Click here or on the picture above to get the podcasts.
