One of the things I really like about it, other than its reminding me of ... http://littlerunningbear.com/98/the-story-is-in-the-emotion/ I used to work at a company that tried to block everything. Our arm of the company was a web-application creation so you can understand our need to communicate with the outside world. It was important to be able to read blogs, access Facebook, IM our peers, and access whatever ... http://littlerunningbear.com/88/us-and-them/ I've been thinking a lot recently about mindfulness. The ability to be aware at all times of what one is doing and why means that the work we do is more efficient, the fun we have is more worthwhile, let the good times roll and may the bad ones keep ... http://littlerunningbear.com/83/small-mindedness-hinders-evolution/ The title of the film is 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People'. Step one wouldn't necessarily be 'make a bad film' but I'm sure it couldn't hurt. This film reminded me so much of Ben Elton's dreadful 'Maybe Baby' in its poor direction and terrible story development that to ... http://littlerunningbear.com/82/how-to-lose-friends-and-audiences/ So I decided to upgrade my wordpress installation at about a quarter to midnight. Why? Because of my phone of course. Of the things I've always thought were always holding me back from writing more, the inability to update my blog from my phone was well up there. It really ... http://littlerunningbear.com/81/while-i-should-have-been-sleeping/ Clearly it was just some stupid incompatibility with one of the plugins. Boo to incompatible plugins. http://littlerunningbear.com/79/everybody-back-to-what-you-were-doing/ I've upgraded my wordpress site and none of my content is displaying. Oh woe is me. http://littlerunningbear.com/77/help-me-please/ So it's a little over 3 years since we created our little podcast. In that time we've had so many wonderful guests and hundreds of adventures. It's amazing, as well, how seemingly popular, while also considerably unknown the concept of podcasting has become in that time. Maybe it's time to do a ... http://littlerunningbear.com/74/boxcutters-is-3-years-old/ So here's the thing. I've only just discovered shuffle on my iPod. For as long as I've had the ability to randomise music (starting with a button on my first CD player in 1989) I've never wanted to. I've always thought that an album was created as an album. I never ... http://littlerunningbear.com/73/sometimes-i-feel-like-such-a-n00b/ Ah, the joys of a Friday afternoon. The weeks since the Comedy Festival ended seem to have been nonstop madness. In that time I've been dealing with Twitter and trying to work out what it's good for. I've found the joy and frustration of global conversation. I don't really understand why ... http://littlerunningbear.com/72/its-the-nanoblog-charlie-brown/ I'm spending a night at home having bangers and mash for dinner. The bangers are outside on the back stoop in the imitation George Foreman grill joined to the kitchen by a long extension cord. I have to make them outside because they smell up the house too much, making ... http://littlerunningbear.com/71/bangers-and-mash-for-dinner/ Wow, it seems like only last weekend I was at the Grand Prix. Now it's Comedy Festival already. I meant to blog about the GP but didn't have the time. That's a shame because it would have been a really entertaining and interesting post. Anyway, for those interested, I'll be trying ... http://littlerunningbear.com/70/and-so-comedy-festival-begins/
