trendpreneur

I’ve been swept off my feet lately. Travelling, Twestivalling, getting on NESTA’s Starter for 6 programme, advertising for a cofounder (my mentor’s idea; let’s see how it goes) and not to mention moonlighting as a gaming columnist.

However, I love to play and tweak, so I’m trying out a new theme on the site at the moment. Getting it to look how I wanted included some nasty hardcoding in the PHP, mainly due to hangovers from the previous theme (special categories, etc), but it should work out. The ads are a necessary evil, or rather, an experiment — stats show most of my readers come via RSS, where you won’t see them anyway. Please do leave feedback on the new design if you have anything to say!

Recent reads that may prove interesting to other entrepreneurs, even though they’re not directly startup-related: CityBoy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile and The Economic Naturalist: Why Economics Explains Nearly Everything, both train books purchased hastily at King’s Cross, and both surprisingly excellent. CityBoy is an especially poignant read since I foolishly interviewed for a couple of management consultancy and banking jobs, along with every other Cambridge superstar; I may have been richer, had I taken them, but I’m dead certain I’d also be in an asylum by now. Or, judging by Steve’s exploits, rehab.
