bashford's photostream
|
Born and bred Londoner. I've been designing and building stuff for the internet in some form or another since about 1995.
I'm hugely interested in the social web, mobile, physical computing and the emerging internet of things. Pretty much anything that uses technology (analogue, digital or both) to help make things a bit better for people.
As you would expect I have a Tumblr blog, a Twitter stream and accounts at Delicious, Flickr, Huffduffer and www.last.fm/user/bashford.
I also have a Facebook account and a Linkedin profile if you're really that interested (or a stalker).
I combine them all with the output of my other internet activity in something called a lifestream.
I'm quite friendly. Say hello.

"After a lengthy and highly-decorated tour in Vietnam, Bashford took the survival skills he had acquired and used them to establish a colony of subsistence farming jungle dwellers. All was fine for a couple of years but boredom, famine, sexually-transmitted diseases and a lack of access to daytime TV caused the group to split - soon a civil war ensued. Bashford was forced to brutally kill the few survivors of the initial battle, in case they should rebel against him en mass. It is said that their ghosts can still be heard moaning high in the vines of the once peaceful rainforest on every full moon.
Currently residing in South London, readjustment to modern society has been slow and difficult but our hero has been steadily reducing his weekly hours in therapy and should soon be allowed to walk the streets unaccompanied. If you see him, say hi from me, nicely."16th November, 2005

"Bashford's unmistakeable greatness can only be discribed by repeating this quote 5 times whilst jumping backwards through a burning ring of fire:
"Raoul Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.""16th November, 2005

"Benjamin Bashford is a werecealocanth. When the full moon rises in the sky he scurries off to a wet corner and transfoms into a prehistoric deep sea fish.
Although relatively harmless he likes to leap upon Creationalists in dark allies."16th November, 2005
