  • Illustrations: Fran, Matt & Rachel and Stephanie

    Since I’ve been up north for a non denominational winter festival with my parents, I’ve had nothing to do except internetting, website building (I built the Brighton Stop The Cuts Coalition website and a new Queer Mutiny Brighton site), and even more illustrations of my friends. Luckily I have hot friends. Enjoy!

  • New illustrations – Sarah and Lewis

    Today I did this vector illustration of my friend Sarah: And this vector illustration of my friend Lewis: Both using Illustrator, traced from a photo manually (i.e. drawn, not using filters or auto-trace), using a drawing tablet.

  • Femen & Translating Twitter with Yahoo Pipes

    The other week I was reading about FEMEN (Фемен), a feminist movement in Ukraine and their controversial protest tactics which involve going topless whilst wearing traditional flower wreaths.

  • Google Porn Insights

    I love Google Insights because I love data and data analysis. I’ve used this tool for a long time for keyword research, audience research, for timing campaigns for clients and lots of other stuff.

  • Groupon and eHarmony identity politics FAIL

    Worst case of restrictive Title options I’ve seen so far. Shall I be male or married today?! Seen on www.groupon.co.uk And THEN, trying to sign up to eHarmony and am confronted with the choice – do I want a relationship with a Man or a Woman? Because you can’t choose ‘either’! What am I supposed…

  • RSPCA Think Pig campaign and game

    One of my favourite projects I’ve been working on recently has been the RSPCA Think Pig campaign. I stopped eating meat when I was nine years old after reading about factory farming, and was vegetarian for 12 years (I’ve since failed, and am now pescatarian / attempting-to-be-positive-chooser). After going around ranting at people demanding that…

  • Some delicious analytics and analysis resources

    Continuing to feature my delicious links on blog posts [I don’t like those automated services that just post a blog of your daily or weekly links – I wanted to group it better. I also don’t tend to save the obvious stuff to delicious, but tend to save things I’m not so likely to remember…

  • Search term wordle

    I love looking at site analytics, and one of the most interesting and useful things to look at are search terms people use to find your site. So you can really look at what topics people are interested in. I had a look at how people come to my site via Google, grabbed the top…
