WHAT A FUCKING IMPECCABLE RANGE OF HEADWEAR IN THIS SHOT.

BIG GLASSES: CHECK. HEADBAND: CHECK. WINTER HAT: CHECK. CAPS WORN PROPERLY: CHECK. SAUSAGE HELMETS: CHECK… AND THE ULTRA-RARE CAPS OVER SAUSAGE HELMETS: CHECK.

IF THIS WAS BINGO I’D HAVE A FULL FUCKING HOUSE.

THE DISDAIN AND CONTEMPT ON THE ARIOSTEA DUDE’S FACES SHOW THEY KNOW THEY’VE COME CORRECT. ALL THAT’S LEFT IS TO CALCULATE HOW THEY’RE GONNA BLOW THE FIELD APART.

I THINK I FOUND THIS ON BONEDETH.

Managed to forget my Garmin charger, so this will be my new timekeeping pal at tomorrow’s race here in Paris. What a debut!

“The Great Wave off Kanagawa also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. An example of ukiyo-e art, it was published sometime between 1830 and 1833 as the first in Hokusai’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and is his most famous work.

This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture’s title notes, more likely to be a large okinami lit. “wave of the open sea.” As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.”

The footage of that horrific Tsunami reminded me of this painting 😦

I hope all the Japanese Tumblr users are safe and well, it’s been such a terrible day.

THERE IS SO MUCH MID-90S BADNESS GOING ON HERE. NO SURPRISE NOBODY COULD STEP TO BIG MIG. 

SO FUCKING TOUGH A SOVIET FIGHTER JET WAS NAMED AFTER HIM.

If you have a yearning to know more about the world of social media and find a way to make it work for you, I just might have what you’re looking for.

I’ve developed a series of one hour workshops as an introduction to social media, and offer them as individual sessions or a ‘four-pack’ covering all the basics you’ll need to get you started and moving forwards with the confidence to make a successful mark on the web.

The workshop topics are:

– Blogging basics

– Working with content

– Beyond Twitter and Facebook…

– Social media as a long term strategy

For full details get in touch and I’ll be glad to give you all the help I can.

40-a-day reading

It’s all going well so far, and I’ve got into a great habit of getting up at around 6.30am and putting a minimum of 40 pages in the bank. So far I’ve read:

The Junior Officers Reading Club – Patrick Hennessey. Life as an Officer in the British Army, including active service periods in Iraq and Afganistan.

On Writing – Stephen King. An autobiographical look at King’s trade through his own eyes. Fascinating.

One Day – David Nicholls. A beautifully written novel full of similarities to the lives and experiences of many. Focussed on the interactions of two college friends as they grow up.

And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks – William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Summer in wartime New York City, punctuated by booze, freeriding and murder.

And I’ve just started Anonymous Lawyer – Jeremy Blachman. The fictitious blogging exploits of a hiring partner at a top US firm. Hilarious but sadly it appears to be very close to the truth.
