Mulling: The Future Of Facebook
I’ve been considering Facebook lately. I’m not certain why but it’s been on my mind. Mainly, I’ve been considering its future and wondering if it has much of one. Certainly, half a billion users is nothing to be sneezed at and few could argue with Facebook’s current clout in the Internet world but still I [...]
The Twitter
Places Where I Virtually Am
I’ve recently been indirectly prompted to resurrect my Tumblr, which has lain dormant for quite a while. In a massively unoriginal fashion, I’ll be using it as an attractive bucket for dumping some attractive (or freakily random) things I’ve found while wasting time that would be better spent working – what did people do to [...]
Your Opinion Does Not Matter
I have just read a news story on the BBC’s site. As you can see, it’s linked but for those of you too lazy to bother clicking through, the condensed version is ‘according to a YouGov poll, 69% of people questioned want live voting to alter storylines in TV shows’. People want to have a [...]
Calling all geeks! Calling all geeks!
Come in geeks. I’m in need of geekly assistance for I am suffering my own geek-fail. Mayday! Mayday! Why do you say ‘Mayday?’ It’s only a bank holiday. Why not ‘Shrove Tuesday’ or ‘Ascension Sunday?’ Ascension Sunday! Ascension Sunday! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost. [That's how to get geeks on-side - quote Red Dwarf.] My [...]
Last One Out, Please Turn Off The Lights
On the off-chance anybody is wondering, I have said my not-so-fond farewells to Facebook. I’m very aware that there was a mass ‘Leave Facebook Day’ a week or so back but I left a few weeks prior to that. I’m no trend-following sheep – I blaze my own trail. Well, in this case anyway. Facebook, [...]
What? You’re still here?
Too long, man. Too long. Seriously though. It has been too long. In my defence, I’ll simply say that I’ve been busy/lazy. Only one of these is a half-lie. It’s the Twitter, you see. The Twitter is taking up my time and, more importantly, taking the tiny kernels of ideas, thoughts, whines that I might [...]
Goose-stepping, twelve-stepping…*
“My name is Gerry, and…” “Hiiiiiiiii, Gerry.” “Errrm, yeah, hi… Right, My name is… Oh right, done that. I have a problem.” “That’s the first step, Gerry. Now all you need to do is to accept that you’re merely a helpless puppet in the palsied, control-freak hands of a higher power and you’re well on [...]
Meet the new blog, same as the old blog
It’s new and yet it’s not… Well, it is… Kind of. Welcome to Stare Into Space. All new domain name. All new, and completely original, look (see how it sparkles). Same old dull content. I am style above substance; form above function. I am the lipstick on the pig. Basically, my old blog was of [...]
keep looking »Gerry Hayes
I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and debase my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.
