I’ve been spending the last few weeks gathering equipment, software and generally learning the workings of everything. It’s funny where a blog can take you, and not very funny where filling your head with too much technology can take you. The Insights from the Engine Room started life as a blog until it took on [...]

And so to new beginnings. Happily settled in to my new place I feel alive. Unpacking was easy, I gave nearly everything I had away. I think I’m going through my Brian Eno minimalist period and yes, less is definitely more. Or more or less. I think it’s the perfect inspiration for what I’m doing [...]

Another excerpt from the book if for no other reason than someone asked me. Writing all this stuff up has brought back a flood of memories so I’m reaching out to a bunch of friends to help me remember the half of it. It’s a time I’m desperate not to lose any of them!

Tampa is awash with Superbowlites, they’re everywhere and all to see the men with big shoulders running around shouting until eventually throwing an odd shaped ball out of the ground.

I’ve been thinking it might be time to give radio another shot. I did my first show in 1984 and my last in 1996 so that makes 12 years on and now 12 years off, so 2009 could spell a new beginning. We all know how radio has become crap and the only good radio [...]

Ridiculous, insane! Here I am slumbering in my lounge, lounging in my slumber writing blog number whatever and I’m being savaged by biting insects. For God’s sake it’s January and while the world freezes it’s ass off I’m being bitten! Florida is nice, don’t get me wrong but the insects never get a day off, [...]

And so endeth another year, put a yuletide blog on the fire and cast your mind back. It’s a time for the mind to wander (any lame excuse will do!), a time for thought and why not. It still feels strange basking in 80 degree heat when half the world is freezing it’s ass off [...]

If you’re still running around frantically looking for a last minute Christmas present and you’re a fan of The Boss then I suggest you go check out www.foryoubruce.com where there is a great new book out.
