Why Costa is EVIL

A suitably Halloweeny title you might say. But this post (*rant) is one of personal perspective regarding something I am truly passionate about. It's about something many blue and white collar workers are probably passionate about. Something that, for many, is the fuel for the fires of business. Coffee.

So, for my sins, I turned to the coffee houses for my morning pick-me-up (and my mid-morning; elevenses; lunch; late lunch; mid-afternoon; afternoon; and home time pick-me-ups for that matter).

Celebrating 15 years of Google Search

Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome to my first ever blog. That's how you're suppose to start these things right? Erm... moving on from the awkward intros I guess it's a good idea to explain myself and tell you why I've decided to start writing.

The truth is, I spend a lot of time online - and not just on Facebook and eBay. I read and research other peoples blogs and content, using the information I absorb to draw up my own conclusions and ideas about the world of digital presence, content marketing and user experience.
