Well hello there
I recently split this site in two, to confuse unsuspecting visitors. If you want occasionally interesting bits and pieces I come across around the web, plus some food, some music and the occasional foray into news curation stay here.
If you want to read my more work-related witterings, you should probably go to work.loughlinonolan.com.
If you don't know why you're here at all, I'm afraid I can't really help you with that.

Thank god for Charlie Brooker
every time I read some dumb anti-gaming proclamation by Vaz and co, I get so angry I have to fire up GTA IV and shoot 29 pedestrians in the face just to vent the frustration they’ve caused. Thank God … Continue reading
