Huge thanks to Paula for giving me the heads-up on ((etsy.com)) :: its a fab wee online marketplace for people who buy / sell handcrafted goodies... They have everything from clothes to quilts; jewelry to books; all handmade in a wonderfully alternative "I'm a capitalist but I'm not" kind of way.

Been slack in not thanking the Soos for passing on ((an announcement to answer)) by [Quantic] aka the genius who is Will Holland.
Lastly, suggest you check out ((Coolhunting)) to see Will Holland diggin' and talkin' music.
hey hey... the [ hardthought ] is back. Been a while but after yesterday's conversation... I need to restart the documenting of my dreams and ideas... for spaces and places and things... that I would like to do in the future.
Yes... I'm back... thinking these hardthoughts!TRAID is a charity committed to protecting the environment and reducing world poverty by recycling and campaigning at home. Funds raised in the UK by TRAID through the collection and sale of reclaimed clothing and shoes help to divert waste from landfill and fund sustainable development projects in some of the poorest regions of the world...such as Afghanistan, Costa Rica and Madagascar.I'm big on thrift and love to find new old clothes and unique things... I love the hunt! Love diggin'! and I love the fact that you are, in essence, rejecting our obsession with consumption.

GP is a hero of mine... He is a global tastemaker who has influenced my view of music. He was at the Big Chill festival which was held over the weekend there. His show from Sunday captured the spirit of the event with live sets from Jamie Lidell, The Beauty Room, and Jose Gonzales... as well as interviews with Mr Scruff and Ross Allen [another favoured tastemaker]Technorati Tags: Gilles Peterson, Big Chill
Forgot to post this... but picked up this case in the big Friday market in Jesolo :: it houses my 40gb 4th gen iPod and my shuffle. It has its flaws - have to turn the iPod on its face so as not to damage the screen and I need to punch a hole in the top for my headphones... but I like the fact that I have reappropriated a fag packet and lighter holder into something more useful... and it only cost me €5 (£3.50)
Had a conversation tonight with our minister :: Capt Alec :: with regards to Olly and myself getting involved in planting a new expression of church. I can't go into any detail at the moment but we are thrilled to be asked... and really excited at the thought. Its very early days - got to do the research - but it does hold a lot of promise.
