James Cameron made his film; I made this:

As a writer you have to re-write. And often re-re-write. And sometimes re-re-re-write. And then you start to worry you’ve lost all that was good in the work and start a new idea. At least I do, which explains why A) I’m not a great writer. B) Why there arn’t many posts on this blog.
It also leads me to spend to long editing other things; I want to make it look/read/sound/work right. And at some point you have to say ‘this is finished’ – which is much easier with writing when there’s a deadline, but less structured things never seem quite done.
All of which is a round-about way of saying; I’m going to stop trying to play in photoshop with my photos and actually do something with them other then make a one of a kind screen saver.
Turns out I write kinda funny…
No more success with Newsjack, but just discovered I had something in February’s Treason show! Barely remembered writing it, so found and re-read it. Somehow it actually surprised me in places, and (not remembering it much) I found it reassuringly funny (if I say so myself). I’m slightly concerned I couldn’t remember it; but I actually wrote it at the beginning of January, and have been writing 3~4 sketches for Newsjack for the last couple of weeks so it’s not that bad… right?
Anyway; I’ve put it on my sketch samples page and is about the January revelation of 944 police officers having criminal records.
It better come with double club-card points…
Just got my £50 iPad from tesco:
Newsjack
In a uncharacteristic display of being early to the game, I got a sketch on the first episode of Series 6 of Newsjack last night. My bit’s a sketch about the diary of recent home prisoner Abu Qutada, and you can listen again/see my name in the credits here.
Who says you can’t write on your phone on a train?

Is Sony’s admin password the Konami Code?
After this massive data breach of the Playstation Network, Sony are really going to have to offer gamers something special to get them back on side:
hmm… maybe that won’t cut it…
(And seriously why has it taken Sony 6 days to mention people’s data might have been stolen? Did the hackers take the only copy of their customers contact info?)
