Who is Chloé Treend?

January 23, 2010

In the 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand posed the question “Who is John Galt?” Today I pose a much more serious question: “Who is Chloé Treend?” It’s a question – possibly the first question in a series of many that could unwrap an entire conspiracy — that I stumbled across last night while watching [...]

Technical Blog Entry!

July 9, 2009

I was watching some boxing the other day… …oh, I can’t back that up. If you have ever met me, you would never believe that sentence anyway. And even if you haven’t met me; I should probably confess now before you mistake me for a boxing fan and try and ask me a question about [...]

Commercial Break…down

May 10, 2009

As someone who writes commercials for a living, albeit only for radio, I have given myself the right to pull apart any sort of advertising I see and judge it mercilessly. Well why not? Everything I write is judged by at least three people before it even gets anywhere close to being produced; and 65% of the [...]

Just Like Every Other Man In Her Life?

May 7, 2009

Look, it’s very fashionable right now to sledge Gretel Killeen for her performance as Logies host – and for the most part, rightly so. But are people doing it for the right reasons? Most people were sledging her from the minute the news broke that she was signed to host them – three weeks prior [...]
