Hi, I’m Nick, London-based Writer Of Stuff, and I’ll be honest, I just really missed having a personal homepage/blog. Updates will be irregular and potentially self-indulgent. For more structured, carefully honed and routinely updated content, you should totally check out my other blogs, as advertised below… new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 4, interval: 6000, width: 250, height: 380, theme: { shell: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#000000' }, tweets: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#000000', links: '#59a13a' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: false, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('NickMB').start(); Tumblr (3.0; @nickmb)http://nickbryan.com/NickBryanhttp://feedburner.google.com<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FeedingTheBlackDog/~3/P3GUXVCSr_4/">Busyness Is As Busyness Does</a>: <p>Friends are like bus metaphors.

Decided to kill time on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ChatRoulette.com">ChatRoulette.com</a>, a notorious website where you get paired off with random chat partners. A large percentage of whom appear to be men waving their penis around.</p> <p>Annoyingly, I didn’t get one of those after ten or fifteen random clicks of ‘New partner’. I got the above instead. Yes, that is a fat naked man in a tutu. He was looking directly at me, but sadly/fortunately I didn’t hit ‘Print Screen’ in time.
