Skuds’ Sister’s Brother

This is the least original thing I have written (and that is saying something!) because there are at least 224 other blogs saying the same thing - Chicken Yoghurt is keeping track.

I enjoyed this piece in the Guardian Arts Blog (reproduced in Monday’s paper). Much of it is the usual debate about new media vs. old media and online behaviour, which different people will agree with or disagree with either in whole or in part, or not care about, but the bit at the end […]
