Me elsewhere
A single website or blog is only part of your online identity, I will try to keep this up to date with my various online artifacts and person.
Online artifacts
renaissance chambara mk II – this blog is actually mk IV of renaissance chambara. mk I was contributed posts on the AlwaysOn Network and those posts have disappeared into the ether as that site has evolved. mk II was on blogspot, but I wanted my own URL and felt limited. mk III disappeared into the ether, it used to be at renaissancechambara dot com and resided on a server in the US courtesy of Yahoo! Small Business Hosting. I managed to salvage less than ten per cent of the posts from it, but like the Murphy’s I’m not bitter
Flickr – there is a feed to my pictures at the top of this blog but you can find 1,000s of other examples of poor photography here
Friendfeed – a kind of social media content aggregator that pulls bits of my stuff in from flickr, twitter, this blog and puts it all on one-page. Not sure how much use it is though, beyond slightly enhancing the Google karma of this blog. But its there if you are interested. Ziki does the same thing, but it was made in France and doesn’t have the buzz fairy dust of having ex-Google people at the helm
delicious – working at Yahoo! infected me with the social bookmarking bug. However Pinboard is now where it’s at.
last.fm – I find last.fm strangely addictive, you can look at the music that I work too with iTunes pumping its non-random random track selections into my headphones and psychoanalyse away

Other persona
The Vending M/C Gourmet was a blog that I started with Jessica Brookes, based on a conversation about how much better Mini Cheddars taste if eaten with an apple. What can I say it seemed like a good idea at the time, but has gradually fallen by the wayside as we both have lives
The Oblique Strategies – I was inspired by Charlie Gower’s Twitter feed of Marx Brothers quotes to randomly pick up a card from the Oblique Strategies card set and post the phrase online. This card set was originally developed by Brian Eno and writer Peter Schmidt to get around writers (or musicians) block. The Twitter stream is designed to inspire those of us who live more Dilbert-esque lives. I’ve been a bit lazy on this one, sorry.
Social networky things
I am living a post-Facebook life, so it probably isn’t worth your while expecting me to be engaged since all my updates are pumped through from feeds like the one off this blog rather than logging in. The user experience of Facebook offends me and don’t get me started on a rant about their draconian terms of service.
Dopplr – on the road, maybe I should get tour t-shirts printed like a rock band.
