Posted in bullet point form, because something is always better than nothing. No links and references, I’m afraid.

Where would you like to live? Brighton? St. John’s Wood? Greenwich? Hackney? Or, if you’re of a more fantastical or surreal bent, the Moon? Or maybe The Tardis?
Five Futures I’d Be Happy Relocating To

We’re big fans of our medical dramas here in the danhon household. Private Practice is one of them. And season two is about to start airing on Living. But when?

Project Canvas - Google search, amusingly, predictably and depressingly, the top result is someone’s blog entry rather than anything official, and another search yields a 404, at which point you’re wondering: why bother, really, but I digress - anyway, Project Canvas (actual BBC Trust supporting documentation with Googlejuice as good as a wet sock, it’s [...]

danhon@gmail.com
A heartfelt position on the Digital Britain interim report in the style of a blog post. Bluntly: this is quite raw. Stating what I hope to be the obvious: this is the opening of a conversation. Stating what should be obvious: keep comments civil. You have a right to free speech, but [...]

Dan Hon (danhon@gmail.com) has sent you an invitation to join Skynet:
