This is a blog by Meg Pickard. YMMV.
Hit the duck to be whisked to a random post

All photos » Fresh pile Charity cake sale at Guardian towers solves my mid-afternoon snack conundrum Blackberry Victoria sponge Stand Independence vote would backfire Handing over - the master list By special request - display shelf thing propped on top of restored chest of drawers The fruits of our labour - old chest of drawers for nursery stripped, sanded and painted (knobs match fish motif on adjacent wall) Perfect weather for daft hats Not sure which is more offensive - bad apostrophes or bad kerning What's the collective noun for salty snacks? Testing the baby carrier sling thing with a rolled up pair of jeans. That's basically the same as a baby, right?

Hello little fella

Just spotted this little fella in the office emergency staircase:

Hello little emergency staircase banister fella

He appears to be related to this little fella:

Electrical shock

Who was spotted a few years ago on the staircase of the old derelict Midland Grand hotel over St Pancras station, just down the road.

I wonder if he survived the multi-million-pound facelift the hotel/station/area is undergoing at the moment?

BTW, there’s a whole load of Flickr groups dedicated to spotting faces in everyday things, including hello little fella, found faces and pareidolia (from the group description: “Pareidolia is when a vague or random image is perceived as recognizable. This group is for those pictures that look just like real life objects, but it’s all in your head.”)

    Ha! There was a donkey in streaks of paint in the toilets in an old job. It made me laugh every time I, errr, went. One of my friends took a pic for me after I left.
    Thanks for those flickr groups!

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.
 
More info about this site and its author.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
