cinema

Tonight I’m going to the cinema. I’ll probably go to the imax sooofer dooofer1, because it’s close to where I live. I love the IMAX poooma doooba2. It has the biggest screen in the UK. And the seats are comfy. But it is expensive. Too expensive in my opinion. In fact, most cinemas in London are very expensive. It’s one of the first things that surprised me when I moved to London. When I lived in Brighton (I lived there for 10 years before moving to London) it cost £6 to go to the cinema. In Brighton, it can cost £15! £15!!! WTF! That means two of you going to the cinema will cost you £30. Sheesh! You’ll be able to buy the film on DVD from Amazon in 6 months for a tenner! I find this incredible. Really incredible. This article written in 2006 shows how expensive cinema’s were back than – that was 6 years ago, and they’re still just as bloody expensive.

Google’s Double Standards, Canonical URLs & SES London

I spent some time last week looking into the whole Google Japan penalty issue with Ben.  I find this fascinating, for a number of different reasons.

  1. If Google don’t know the rules, how can they expect the general public to know them?

  3. How might this affect Google.co.jp?

Google are still being eerily quiet about it – I know Matt Cutts has been busy at SMX, but I still would’ve expected some formal announcement from the guys in the US. › Continue reading

Sleep, memory loss, and information addiction

So it’s Friday night. I’m just chilling before I head to a friend’s birthday and thought I’d write a few words. We had a few friends round for dinner on Wednesday, had a few bottles of wine, and were just having some random chatter, when I talked about some “behavioural issues” that I’m afflicted with. I’m not sure that “behavioural issues” is the right way to describe what I’m talking about, but I’m gonna use it for now. Anyway, some of the other guys in the room said they were afflicted with the same issues, and it got us all thinking that they’re somehow related. I’ll explain below: › Continue reading

Hello World!

Hello everyone, how u all doing?  Welcome to my new blog.  For those that know me, and for those that don’t – here’s a brief update as to what, where, why, when and how I’m doing.  So there’s been something on this domain for the last 5 years-ish. I started it as a testbed when I worked as a Search Engine Optimiser for Spannerworks. I was spending a lot of time trawling the interweb in search for links for my clients, and I started to notice that there was a lot of weird stuff out there that I wanted to share with people. › Continue reading
