a not particularly ethical dilemma
Posted Jan 6, 2012
Baked beans on toast, even though I don't have any cheese in the house, and I get to watch Coro on TV. Eating within 15mins
Or,
Nachos and vege takeaway, plus I'll pick up a nice bottle of red on the way home. Will have to watch Coro later online. Eating within 40 mins.
I'm very hungry.

JoMo 3: why I want h2g2 to remain a mostly text-based site
Posted Nov 3, 2011
On my morning walk yesterday I passed the innersole again. It's been lying in the middle of road for a week, its position changing slightly each day, a sign of either ambition or traffic. It's very large, white and grubby. Mostly I try and ignore it, but yesterday was day two of interNaJoPoMo, and things to write about were popping up at me all over the place.
I looked at it and immediately thought: I could take a photo and post around that. Then I remembered we can't post photos (
), which got me thinking about if that was a good thing or not. I think it's a good thing. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and I take a photo to journal with, doesn't that lessen my writing? On a writers' website?
There are many writers for whom journalling around a photo would extend their writing. But what about writers for whom that is not true, especially ones who are learning or need to extend their writing skills or lazy ones like me. In a multi-media worldwideweb, shouldn't we be encouraging written words not just with our attitude and intent but with the very structure of our site?
There's something there to say about how the Luddites were right, and how invisible loss can be in the face of the shiny new. I'm fairly sure there was at least one easy pun to be made about the innersole. But I'm heading out the door….
