Blogging Serendipity

Tim in Thailand's latest post has just led me to the Follow The Yellow Brick Road blog, winner of this year's Manchester Blog Awards.

Coincidentally, a recent post on that blog has a link to the Advice To Sink In Slowly art project, in which students at University College Falmouth - which is right here in Penryn - have designed some really beautiful posters containing useful advice for new students starting at the college.

Coincidentally, Mr BC is at University College Falmouth RIGHT NOW, guest-lecturing to some of those new students on how to forge a career in professional writing.

Coincidentally, one of his bits of advice will undoubtedly be to start a blog in order to get your writing out there, which, coincidentally, is what Tim's original post is all about.

I know, it's well coincimental.

But anyway, aside from the Thailand-Manchester-Penryn blogging connection, the Advice To Sink In Slowly posters are well worth a look, and indeed, at a fiver a go, a purchase. Here's my favourite:


More lovely poster art where that came from here.

What a fantastic project, that's my favourite too, very reasonable for a fiver. (I also liked 'Don't fuck your flatmate.')

They're great, aren't they? I went mad and bought FOUR, and I still want more. It's like the Pantone mugs all over again.

They are splendid! Just the thing. I think the Be Patient one is my best, although I am slightly jealous of the Falmouth-specific ones.

Oh, lovely stuff. But why'd you have to go and remind me of the Pantone mugs? Now I want some again, and there is no reason for any additional mug to enter this house ever again.

Advice I wish I'd received at that age beautifully presented. Don't fuck your flatmate and canoe seem particularly salient.

Word ver is excroop....hope the kitten is well
