A diary about creativity, design, innovation and anything that interests me in passing.
Editor: Joe Tarrant.
Monday
Sunday
The Champs Elysees go green to help French farmers.
Meanwhile: Johann Hari on Climategate. How big corporations are taking over the environmental to their own ends.
And it's been really hot today in England. Hotter than the med. Not entirely unwelcome, I must admit.
Monday

Fan: Thin Lizzy. Docu on "Live and Dangerous" (iPlayer). Lizzy's best album. And still playing, though not with Phil. (Thanks, Scott).
Not fan: Joy Division. Feel the joy by walking around Macclesfield.
Wednesday
"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." Gore Vidal.
But we are not all so blessed. So the many style guides online can be very useful. FT Lexicon. Guardian/Observer Style Guide. And the Wikipedia manual of style which contains many more. You may never write anything badly again.
Saturday
And while I'm in rant mode... Was Ridley Scott really so short of ideas that all he could come up with was... Robin Hood? It's as clichéd as Richard Hammond looking for the holy grail. Actually, it's even worse.
