A lot of people say to me, they say Tim, how on earth did you become the man you are today? To which I usually reply, by reading other people's newspapers on the train. That and onanism.

But enough gay banter. Two people have noticed I haven't blogged for a while. I'm making amends today, despite having lots to do. My audience obviously feels let down. 

So to kick off, here's a fantastic link: Gutenberg.org This site has hundred of classic books that you can download - in most cases as text files but in many cases as mp3s, so you can listen to, for example, Tess of the Hoovervilles by Thomas Horny as you eat a humble breakfast before work. Sure, that's what Timmy does.

Here's another handy little tool for music lovers. Commercial Breaks and Beats. If you hear a song you like used in a TV ad (like recently when I was so keen to find that Crisp and Dry music) this site will help you track down what it is.

I can't tell you any of my significant news cos it's a secret. In lesser news, I recently bought a Bronica ETRSi which has been an ambition since sixth form. Medium format cameras have crashed in price, entirely because of digital photography. They are still magic, require some skill and make you feel like a photographer.

I have to scrub the bath now, but I'll be back with more.
