Dogs and Cats Wearing Hats!

There are things in my life that I am hugely proud of. There are key events which have befallen me, both planned and unplanned, from which rich vein...

The Cybraphon: Social Media Musical Instrument

The Cybraphon: Social Media Musical Instrument

The Edinburgh Festival throws up some curious spectacles from busking opera singers in corsets to clowns doing monologues in the Radisson Hotel. The most strange thing yet, however, was the Cybraphon – a musical instrument whose tune changes depending on feedback given on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter and the like.
The instrument itself [...]

BlackBerry Storm Released in UK! Now Live to Buy from Vodafone (New Site)

Vodafone have unleashed their new-look online mobile phone shop AND send their new range of BlackBerry Storm touch screen mobile phones live to purchase from the site today, 14th November 2008.
Is that a coincidence? I don’t think so, there’s no such thing as a coincidence in the cut-throat world of Mobile Telephony.
What I can say [...]

Iraq War Inquiry - Already a Whitewash?

Iraq War Inquiry – Already a Whitewash?

There are two procedural issues with the new UK Iraq War Inquiry which severely limit it’s ability to robustly investigate the issues surrounding the British involvement in the war. There are also two further issues which should set alarm bells ringing for observers and those concerned about possible findings.
UK Border Limitations
The inquiry is limited to [...]

Rob Scott: Lord of the Internet

Time for a wholesale change of this page now, after it became apparent that Google agreed with my outrageous claim to be “Lord of the Internet” back in June 2009, when I wrote this very page following a night of high drama in the mean streets of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
Quite simply, if you go [...]

David Beckham

David Beckham
Triple lion-hearted boy,
Will you be back?
Tragic hero in reverse:
The fall came first.
Diverted fortunes with a free kick,
That penalty.
And the other one.
Beckham’s peak and dip.
Throughout it all,
You tried your best,
Fought so much harder than the rest.
Triple lion-hearted boy,
Will you be back?
This thorn is mighty.
Robin Scott, 2010

She has just written the following poem in response to the news that David Beckham has snapped his Achilles tendon, though I’m afraid some of the [...]

Trade Shows, Expos and Summits

Are trade shows, expos and summits important to the success of an industry; a much needed reason to get together and let our hair down; or a distraction from the necessary functions of doing business?
I’m never quite sure what to make of all of the trade show, expo and summit invitations I receive in my [...]

The Originators and Pioneers

The Originators and Pioneers

I was asked to Google the phrase “The Originators and Pioneers” this morning by Roll Deep’s Twitter. So I did. And I thought “this isn’t really the Search Engine Results Page that I thought it would be,” so I decided to change that. Because I can.
I reckon I will now be the originator and pioneer, [...]

Recipe Website Gets Makeover

Our free recipes website, Recipe85.com, has this week had a makeover providing a much needed new theme that is uncluttered, and supports the placement of recipes, and removes a lot of unneccessary bumf from the sidebars.
The really great thing about Recipe 85 now is that there is so much space devoted to the recipe, yet [...]

Virgin Media Broadband Slow to Update DNS Records

London Fashion Week – Who Cares?

Yet again, I write a title that runs the risk of ostracising and alienating roughly everyone who will be searching around the internet for stories about London Fashion Week.
They might well read the title, get very uppity, and not pay attention to what I am about to say, before writing a comment which largely echoes [...]

Quotes for St. Valentine’s Day

Not everyone’s very good a putting their thoughts and feelings into words and that’s what we have poets and writers for. If you’ve ever experienced one of a myriad of emotions that accompany falling in love, then there’s a poem, essay or novel that will capture the essence of the moment for you. If writing [...]
