Taking up the mantle from the gorgeous Anna, some of the statements I find upon Googling “Scott likes to”…:
Scott likes to watch movies. Scott likes to listen to music. Scott likes to read books. Yes, yes, yes. Things are going well. This is clearly a good game that indicates how representative of all people named […]
Golly, is it that long since I last posted? Whoops. I’ve been quite busy over at TV Today, as well as implementing quite a few technology infrastructure changes at The Stage which nobody else will notice (other than a substantially faster web server with — touch wood — no regular outages). And lots of other […]
When it comes to Kevin Greening’s sense of humour, one excerpt from his radio career will always stick in my mind. At the time, he was presenting the mid-morning show on Xfm, and a woman had emailed in to ask if the webcam was working. “She says, ‘When I click on the webcam icon, all […]
As I said back in October, my short story, Tell Me You Love Me is going to be included in the forthcoming anthology, Doctor Who Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas.
The Big Finish page for the book now includes an image, as well as a free PDF of one story from the collection — […]
I’ve really been enjoying the Guardian’s latest freebie series, a series of posters extolling the virtues of some of the world’s most iconic buildings. As well as including original architectural blueprints, there are plenty of features about where each building’s design fits in to a greater scheme.

It may be a tough question to answer, but I love Neil Gaiman’s attempt:
The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it’s about and why you’re doing it and what […]
I’ve mentioned bits and pieces about getting a short story published, without going into further detail. Now, though, my publisher has announced full details, so I can officially go public. My story, Tell Me You Love Me, is going to be published in Big Finish’s forthcoming short story anthology, Short Trips: The Ghosts of […]
As I mention on my About page, I’ve recently been lucky enough to have received a commission for my first professional piece of fiction — a short story for an anthology based around a certain TV show.
The story itself has been approved, is currently being typeset and the (small but historic) cheque has long since […]
Very odd — my web stats are showing a huge number of referrals coming via searches from http://url.com/ over the last day or so. What’s strange is that in each case, the search terms and other query parameters are identical — all that differs is the referring subdomain (e.g., my.url.com, company.url.com, no.url.com) and the claimed […]
In today’s Media Guardian, Peter Wilby writes on newspaper pricing:
Last week, the Times went up from 65p to 70p. So that, you might say, is the end of the price war that Rupert Murdoch… launched 14 years ago in the “quality” sector when he cut the price of the paper by a third. […]
