I’m going to take a break from the blog for the next few months. I don’t feel in the right place for writing at the moment, and I know the coming months are going to be really hectic, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to take a break and think about what I […]
I’m taking a break from writing for a few weeks, back soon.
I'm going to be away travelling in Europe for the next few weeks, I'll back in mid June. I'm not sure what the Internet access will be like in the places I am staying, so I might not be able to update the blog while I'm away.
I've not been on a trip like this before, […]
Check out this amazing video from photographer Gregory Colbert. There's also a full length version of the film available on DVD, although it's quite hard to come by.

Levels of spam in the comments seem to have exploded over the last week or two so I've been forced to put on comment checking. This means that when you first write a comment you have to enter your email address, I then check it and your email address is approved form then on, so you don't […]
Sometimes I find it so hard to sit down and write. The ideas of what to type just don't materialize in my head; I can go looking for all the stimulus I know of and still I can't pin anything down that I can work into a post. You would think that only doing this […]
Well, I can only apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to post, but I have finally got the Internet sorted at home, so updating should be back to normal from here on in. I apologise in advance for the self-orientation of this post, but I feel it's good to set the […]
Hi, sorry about the lack of updates, I still don't have Internet access home. Hopefully things will get back to normal over the next few weeks.
I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with materialistic culture. Every time I buy something or use something it seems as though I am on a path to the day it breaks and I need to replace it. I buy a bike, it breaks after a year or two; I buy a computer, the graphic card goes […]
Welcome to the new home of The Simulacra!
I hope you like it, I have moved over to wordpress, so there might be a few teething problems during the transition, but everything seems to be working ok at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have a bit more freedom and flexibility hosting the blog on my own server.

I have gone for a lighter blue look, hopefully it is a bit easier on the eyes for reading.
Well, my computron has finally returned, so hopefully I will be updating regularly again.

“Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: (1) It’s completely impossible. (2) It’s possible, but it’s not worth doing. (3) […]
My computer has decided to die, so there probably wont be many updates here for a while until I can get it sorted. Not sure how long that will be…
In the meantime, check this.
Welcome to the simulacra… Rambling, from me.
I have been listening To Philip Glass alot recently, (he has a great “listen to his music” thing here: http://www.philipglass.com/html/pages/glass-engine.html)
His range of styles, and the sheer depth of his music seems to have captured me in a way i havn’t felt before, fantastic “before sleep” pieces.
I am reading though […]
