Made it:Today sees the launch of Channel 4’s new Ideas Factory West Midlands site, for professional young creatives in the West Midlands. As a freelancer I researched, formatted, and supplied the site’s sixty events & opportunities listings for April to August 2003.

Brummitton:Blimey; the latest Benetton Colours magazine is all about… Birmingham.

Toppling the idols:One of my favorite writers, Andrew Sullivan, is in today’s Sunday Times. He summarises the end of the war with crystalline clarity.

“I’m on the mobile!”I’ve just discovered that my new Nokia is actually…. a fully-fledged sex toy!

Coming soon…My apologies for the lack of updates recently. I’m doing some freelance work for MADE and Channel 4, compiling listings for a new web-site. And I’m also doing 20 days of documentation work for Jubilee Arts & c/Plex.
