It’s time that I posted something positive. Aside from music that I like and good things happening with work I don’t write that much about what makes me happy. The reason for this is that I have an overwhelming expectation for things to be better than average. Services or products that are just ‘okay’ aren’t worth writing about and nothing progresses if it has no innovation or passion. To redress the balance, here are some things I like or love that I don’t usually write about:

• Moleskine notebooks
• Stabilo ’s move pens
• Bones television series
• The new Sky Cricket on screen graphics
• The Roland JD-800 synthesizer
• Blue sky
• The character and individuality of London Underground stations
• Airports
• Ducks
• Rye bread
• Last.fm
• British designed hi-fi
• RSS
• Ruby on Rails
• The Chocolate Tasting Club
• Leather
• Caterpillar footwear
• Next Directory
• Tesco
• Amazon.com
• Breakfast at The Pancake Place
• My Specialized Globe Mity
• The Guardian
• The Pieroth wine company
• Hand-made glassware
• Yellow legal notepads
• Kettle parsnip crisps
• Cafepods coffee
• Getting Things Done
• Lynx deodorant
