Democracy?

Seems to sum up life since 9/11 no? Oh well..

Sorry I havent been updating a lot recently but my life has very suddenly become a lot more hectic! Not in a bad way though so I’m not complaining.

I’ve had the chance recently to work on some interesting projects, and in the process I have come to see a different side to the advertising business. Nothing unexpected I should point out, but it all comes with the territory (you know… exploiting the vulnerable…that kinda stuff).

Gotta catch some kip now but here are some stories I found interesting whilst surfing the internets over the last few days…
