Creativity for a Better World
#oneaday 58:Citius, Altius, Fortius
So says the Olympic motto – faster, higher, stronger. Indeed this year’s Olympics could and should do a lot of things for Britain. Much has been written about the legacy vs cost of the whole project and the latest figures to be quoted show a hard cost of £9.1Bn to the UK tax payer.; To […]

Gemma Critchley: sunset
“How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.” George McDonald And we weren’t scared. Not tonight. Not of the amazing flood of colour into the white sky this evening. I didn’t take a picture, I just wanted to remember how it looked forever. People in the office drawn to […]

Gemma Critchley: Tangerine Dream
Pantone’s colour of the year for 2012 is 17-1463, or Tangerine Tango. The Measure in the Guardian remains to be convinced, but I reckon this hue definitely has legs. Not quite subdued enough to be one of spring’s hot pastels yet not bright enough to scream summer holidays, it’s an unassuming, subtle hue that is […]

Gemma Critchley: The Design Fiction of Black Mirror
Well, it’s been quite a week for stuff what I done gone and wrote getting re-posted elsewhere on the internet. My friend Greg over at Mount Analogue alerted me to the fact that one of my tweets had been used in a recent blog from those wonderful Made by Many chaps. Granted, it’s not the […]

Gemma Critchley: 2011 in review
Well, the #oneaday year has passed. Granted, I haven’t blogged every day, but I’ve blogged as and when I could and ended up with 220 posts. I’ve really enjoyed the project and have met some amazing bloggers through it. Whilst I know it’s not going to carry on with the same momentum, I hope people […]

Keith, G6NHU: Days 364 and 365 – Some QRSS and a bit of everything to wrap up QSO365
It feels a little odd to be writing this final regular update for QSO365. It really doesn’t seem like a year ago that it all started and I’m a little relieved to be posting this update, knowing that the project has been a resounding success with not only a QSO made every day of 2011, […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Sixty Five – Insert Sinatra Related My Way Pun Here
As I write this I’ve no idea what I’m going to post for the second last day of 2011, all I know is what I want to say on the final day of 2011. I decided to take part in this one a day posting challenge in order to increase my creative output and I […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Sixty Four – Why Bother?
(This will eventually be published on Daily Dischord, so if it vanishes in a few days you know why!) As 2011 draws to a close we find that many of our favourite music websites or magazines publish their end of year lists, vaguely detailing in less than 100 words per record why these albums deserve […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Sixty Three – Our Dust
Our Dust Every day a piece of ourselves is lost when we move a little, shed a little, dust a little. Dead cells tell a story; our whole lives could be replayed in the dust that fell to the floor when I was down cleaning on hands and knees, and memories of the past came […]

Keith, G6NHU: Days 361, 362 and 363 – Some nice DX and just what is this ROS thing?
I started day #361 in what’s become the usual way, I had two 40m JT65 QSOs, working DK6AN and DG6AOY before switching to 15m SSB and talking with LZ1ND, Ted and 5V7MA in Togo. I then spoke to HS0ZGQ, Joe in Thailand on 10m. After that I worked I2OHO, Luciano and RA3GS on 20m followed […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Sixty Two – Dice, Part IV
Gradually it dawned on Mr Ivins that the cough was not simply coming from one person but that much of the room were now coughing. Growing slightly anxious about this, Ivins decided to pack up his things and leave. Pushing back his chair to get out from underneath the table, the man behind him also […]

DreamPunk: At the closing of the year
This will be my last weekly post for the One a Day project. While I veered off course during the last few months, I think the important thing is that I followed through to the end. Finishing something after making a commitment is important to me. I haven’t completed the Dune game yet. In the […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Sixty One – Dice, Part III
I totally messed up the formatting on that Ginsberg poem yesterday. Totally unforgivable. I’ve went and sorted it. Part three of Mr Ivins’ story. Enjoy! Nevertheless, he decided to press the girl a little more. For a moment he wondered if she might be attracted to him, the thought made his stomach flutter a little. […]

Keith, G6NHU: Days 358, 359 and 360 – It’s Christmas!
Day #358 was Christmas Eve and so I had some QSOs first thing in the morning before I went off to hook up with the other members of the Martello Tower Group at the local cafe for a late breakfast before heading over to Coastal Communications for the traditional Christmas Eve nibbles. I first worked […]

Keith, G6NHU: Days 353 to 357 – More midweek 40m data
All QSOs over this five day period were on 40m using JT65 and the pattern is the same all the way through with one or two contacts early morning between 06:15 and 06:30 and then maybe one more at least twelve hours later after work. Day #353 KJ4QXC, Dan and UA1ZFL, Vladimir. Day #354 W2BT, […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Fifty Nine – Dice, Part II
I’ve scheduled this post for Christmas Day, although I’m not going to post anything particularly festive. Part two of Dice. Enjoy. And Merry Christmas everyone! Edward finished consuming lunch at 13.03 giving him enough time to go over the Edinburgh accounts before heading back to the office. He had noticed that table space in the […]

Mark Fraser: Day Three Hundred and Fifty Eight – Dice, Part I
Lets end the year on a cheery note, eh? Here’s some new fiction. Been working on it a while. I hope you enjoy it. Mr Ivins polished his shoes every morning. He liked things shiny, clean, and presentable. Ivins also liked time or perhaps more specifically he liked to be on time. He liked schedules […]

I’m combining two days here because of dodgy internet. Yeah so we’re nearing the end of 2011 and thus the end of my challenge. More thoughts will follow on that, however I’m actually looking forward to not blogging every day so I can focus more on creative work without a deadline. I think I’ll do […]

Keith, G6NHU: Days 351 and 352
Just in case there were problems putting my beam back up on day #351 I had a ‘banker’ 40m JT65 QSO first thing, I worked IZ2QPP, Ermes. All went well though and so I spoke to UA9CUA on 10m SSB followed by P39P on 15m. After that I had a chat with M3TUC, Tucker in Carlisle on […]
