I am not always a fan of the message (though I mostly) but your command of the medium is complete, and your droll acerbic prose is something I admire even as I find it unachievable. I dream of the day I wake up to find that the Sunday newspapers have sacked their columnists and appointed you instead.stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486889878636801969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-88610939111389768432008-11-28T11:29:00.000+13:002008-11-28T11:29:00.000+13:00I think it was Mr Brown tells a story about when h...I think it was Mr Brown tells a story about when he started on his computer column at the listener.

Now we're seeing the features of CD-ROM mags online (note, not "on-line") but not in one place - one site has the music, another site has the video interviews, another site has the whooshy clicky bits.<BR/><BR/>Also, happy blogday.
