Blogs in plain English
This is great video to show your granny, or technophobe friend who has no clue what ‘blogs’ or ‘blogging’ are!
Do Not Adjust Your Monitor!
‘The Middle Of Yesterday’ is no more, I’m now blogging under a new domain name; ‘www.jamesdclarke.com’. I’ve decided to switch my blog over to a new domain name – my own name!
I’ve done this for a couple of reasons, firstly because it’s becoming harder and harder to get your hands on good dot com domain name, and secondly in an attempt to build my online profile/brand – something that is becoming more and more important these days (or so I am told), especially when using the internet to make a living as I do. There’s a lot of James Clarkes with an ‘E’ out there – so I decided the time was right to bag my name whilst I still could.
Hopefully my Mom will be pleased about the ‘D’ for Douglas as I was rather ashamed of my middle name as a kid. I remember vividly the only time I got a proper slap around the face from her – I was 10 or 11 years old and we were in the car on the way home from my birthday party at McDonald’s (I was too young to know any better then), my two best mates were in the car and grilling me about my middle name. I was tight lipped, however my Mother (ever the protagonist) told them both, to which I quickly yelled “you bitch!” and SLAP, there it was!
So, I apologise for calling you a bitch Mom, but you shouldn’t have wound me up. I hope you like my new domain name!
“Who let the stupid people on the net?”
“Why I should be made the Internet Tsar” by Charles Arthur of Guardian Unlimited is as good a reason as any for me to start blogging again.
Not only am I sealing my place in the blogosphere for another month (reference 1), but I’m also effectively “copying and pasting entire stories from mainstream news sites” (reference 2).
This article is a rather amusing read, check it out here.
This is why I love Immi!

TMOY featured in The Guardian!
Well, the Guardian website at least! The Guardian Media Diary picked up on the Doug Walker story and were kind enough to link to The Middle Of Yesterday and my recent blog post about the music video that Simon Willows shot with Doug outside BBC Radio One. A slightly edited screen shot is above and the original article is here.
With this in mind, I’d like to say thanks to the Guardian for covering Doug Walker’s story and “hello” to any Guardian online readers who are visiting my blog for the first time – 31 of you so far according to my webstats!
