I have recently unpacked my Printer / Scanner from the garage, and decided to re-design the header logo.
That is all, please carry on with your day!

56 Days Later...
Since leaving university, I’ve been doing the things that I had aimed to do after I finished my studies – mainly to relax and de-stress. So besides going to Glastonbury (which was awesome) I’ve been playing a lot of Football Manager, as well as watching Mad Men, The Thick Of It, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development boxsets. I have also started running again (the football pre-season is coming!) so at least I’ve not been sat on the sofa for the last 8 weeks....
Despite my best intentions to keep this blog updated, I haven’t been able to continue writing because I didn’t feel inspired to do so, and writing just for the sake of writing is something I believe to be counter-productive.
After having to leave both Southampton and my job in Hamwic Student Residence (uni halls), I’ve decided to actually fill my days with constructive activity, rather than sleeping and watching mediocre TV (although BBC’s Pointless has been a broadcasting highlight).
Eight weeks is a long time (although that said, in British journalism terms it might as well be a lifetime) so this is just an update on what else I’ve been doing.
The #airtaylor project I ran back in May was an incredible success. There has been many a time where the internet has surprised me (such as getting 200 dissertation responses in 48 hours thanks to Twitter) but the reaction was much, much bigger than I could ever have hoped or imagined.
I feel compelled to write a proper follow-up with lots of flashy graphs (and this will hopefully be appearing in the next couple of days) but for now I’d like to thank everyone from the agencies I sent planes to for taking the time to check me out, those who tweeted / re-tweeted / praised the idea / read the blog / blogged about me (massive massive thanks to Andy Barr from 10 Yetis, Palamedes PR and Spear PR, who all took time to write about me – if there’s anybody who I missed from my trawl of Google / Twitter then please let me know so I can add them to this blog!)
The response has also extended to the offer and possibilities of actual PR work; last month I spent time as in intern with the wonderful Truffle PR team in Soho, which I really enjoyed, and learnt a lot from. Next month I have an interview at the aforementioned 10 Yetis, as well as a week-long internship at Eulogy! in London. Add in the start of the football season (which in my opinion is the 3rd best day of the year behind my birthday and Christmas) and August should hopefully be a good month!
In other, design-based news; I have ‘adapted’ the header of the blog to reflect my change in educational status – this is an (even more) low budget effort than the last one, I might even have a stab at getting the pens and pencils out for a proper bit of artwork – provided I can remember which box they were packed into...
That’ll do (for now),
Paul
