The spotlight on Jack
HA, Jack Rawstone is reborn. A man of might and panache; he turns heads, strides with a purpose and is never undone, not by any fucker. I've got a blog over at http://thecoldgintimes.blogspot.com these days, but I'll be posting whatever I put up there, here as well. So enjoy, looking forward to getting back into the community.
I've been looking over the old blog posts, a couple are tragically funny, case in point below:
"Whenever I go down to London there are bad crazies on the streets. We found a club where it was 70p a drink, I went in with 35 which would have given me the opportunity to buy 50 drinks. This was a mammoth task as I'd already hit the Wild Turkey hard, having 6 doubles in a pub around the corner from the club before hand. But I persevered and almost made it, I only drink doubles so about 20 drinks later, on the most foul of whiskey, I got kicked out of the club. I lost my t-shirt, split my head open on a wall and continued to stomp around in my Punisher vest like a wild animal pissing off the most of London."

And some are fairly serious:
"For the first time I became an actuated self facilitating media node. This bascially meant my laptop came in time for the trip and I wrote up the Hatebreed article on the train down, which I thoroughly enjoyed."

I make the point in the above statement that I'm 'a self-facilitating media node' which comes straight out of the Nathan Barely book of quotes for cunts. At the time I had a vague idea of what it meant I guess, but today, I'm more and more that person, but in the least possible cuntish sort of way, and I'm fairly proud, in fact I fucking love it.
Whilst I rock along between countries or just home and the office, business or pleasure, I stay constantly connected, constantly in the loop, uploading, writing, never miss a thing.
It's brilliant, my Nseries N95, almost everything I need, the only thing holding it back is the physical screen size, and that's because it's a mobile device anyway, it's meant to be fucking small. But it's ace, it's my connection, it's my GPS, digital camera, podcast recorder and downloader, MP3 player, and a whole host of other things that keep me in the loop. Combined with my N800 for travel, it's even more awesome as the screen on the N800 is big enough and with a decent enough resolution to do pretty much whatever I need on and offline.
The point I'm trying to make ladies and gentlemen, is that as the likes of <a href=http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/notebook-supermodel/intel-unveils-worlds-thinnest-laptop-almost-skinny-as-a-razr-263359.php>Intel introduce the thinnest laptop in the history of the world</a>, those of us in the loop, rushing forward with the devices and technology to back us up, can do whatever we want whenever we want. Geotagged content, a 3G net connection tethered via Bluetooth to your UMPC, and you're rocking for whatever you want, and it's consumer based, not yellow pages, not some bullshit advert or a list read out by some fucking tool at the other end of a 118118 call.
It's from someone who has been there, done it, taken the picture, geotagged it, written the review, put the address in and recommended it to the social web, to us, well to me at least anyway.
Hedonism is deriving pleasure from the things around you, and if you are a 'self facilitating media node' you can do that, I know I do, instantly, without bother, and in perfect style.
<a href=http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/15-06/ps_transparency>The visible man</a> is also a big story today, he's put his entire life online because he thinks the FBI are following him, it just goes back to what I was saying about being open, and the social media, let everyone see, and the government is double fucked because not only have they got no excuse to fuck you over, but everyone else can see that's the case. BINGO.
More tomorrow.
