This video from feministfrequency.com (via boingboing) asks a question I’ve never considered before, about the portrayal of women in films. It also makes me think about the report that Stonewall released today, Unseen On Screen. That came to the not very surprising (if methodologically flawed) conclusion that gay men and lesbians talking about gay and [...]
What with Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Last.fm, Spotify and this blog, I’ve got quite a lot going on online. I hadn’t recognised until today quite how stressful that was, mostly because of the links and interdependencies between all of those channels, constantly feeding each other. I’m not any less in love with being online than I [...]
The sense of relief and the fizzling away of tension that comes with launching a long project almost makes the whole thing worthwhile. And this web development project has been long. I got deeply involved in the project when it had been going for a year and it was stuck. Eight months later, we’re live.
When the iPad was first announced, I was underwhelmed. I’ve been well aware of my adherence to the cult of Apple, and seriously thinking that the next time I buy a laptop, I’m reverting to a PC, so buying an iPad seemed like the least sensible thing I could do. And then I started to [...]
Taken out to dinner at the Buddha Bar this evening. It has to be the darkest restaurant I’ve ever eaten in – genuine squinting at the drinks menu when we arrived – but the food is stunning.

No party conference warm white wine here. So Paul headed off to find a cash machine. Problem solved. I suppose [...]
Photos from a trip to the fantastic Acton Town Depot of the London Transport Museum.
As promised to my sister, here are two options if you don’t fancy Christmas pudding. We had both on the big day, and both are still going. Actually, the Christmas pudding icecream is so rich I suspect it will still be in the freezer in March, being consumed one teaspoon at a time. I’m not [...]
Absolutely delighted that a piece of advice written by me has appeared in today’s London Paper in the Heart Surgery section. It’s sadly not published on their website, but here’s what it said. Q I came out as a lesbian to myself and my friends last year and am just getting used to it. I’ve [...]
It’s the morning of day two of the conference, and having missed hearing Alan Milburn speak, I thought I’d take the time for a quick update on yesterday’s key speakers. I have some ten pages of notes and all my tweets as a starting point, but given the amount of information yesterday, this is just [...]
