I took the shortish walk from Westbourne Park to the Paddington basin along the canal this lunchtime. I took photos as I walked and tweeted spontaneous accompanying observations in a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables – so haiku in form if not in elegance – I think I'd warmed up a bit with the second one….
Tremendous bits of support coming in that I'll be able to talk about once they're confirmed. However, while this is really really welcome, there's been much more response to help with kit than with direct cash support (to cover my overhead back here, some travel costs and contingency for daily subsistence). I'm putting up…
How did that happen, it seems only a matter of days ago that it was four weeks to go. Umm… yes… oh… I see… Back to work then! Originally posted on Please Look After This Englishman

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Dear American Friend I’m writing to tell you about my forthcoming coast-to-coast trip which I’ll be making in March and to ask for your help and support. I’m calling it “Please Look After This Englishman” and it involves me traversing the real-world instantiation of my online social network, acquiring and…
My main job at the moment is getting sponsorship to help support me on the trip. This takes the form of cash, to make sure I’m not penniless when I enter the USA and can pay my bills while I’m away and products and services that will help me create an interesting experience for people…
This is a difficult life lesson to learn. It’s so tempting to keep looking forward and plan and think a few moves deeper, trying to work out what the strategy should be and what other people should do, will do, might do in response to what you’re doing. And yet in some (many?) (all?) circumstances…
