Terriblely sad news
Woke up to a phone call from Mim telling me the horrendously sad news that my oldest friend in the world died this morning. After batteling cancer for the last 2 and a half years he passed on this morning peacefully and surrounded by friends and family.
I knew Jonny Sedassey all my life. He was larger then life and lived every moment to the maximum. Loved by so many it is so unfair to have him taken from us at such a young age. A man of so much life and potential. A natural comic with so much life Jonny touch so many lives and loved so many people
He was an important part of my childhood and I regret not seing more of him over the last few years. Trying to write down all my memories of him. We had so many good times as kids
I’ve lost so many people over the last few years my step father Andy, and one of my closest friends Joe just over a year ago. It makes you feel numb. You can’t do anything and makes you question your own mortality.
I will miss him and my thoughts are with Barbara.
Mr Jonny “Rhythem”
Just a quick post. Jon is in hospital, I’ve know him all my life and he and Barb are more like family. Haven’t seen him or Barbra for ages which is sad. My thoughts are with them both.
I’ve been thinking of the times we spent together a children.
The first time I met him I was about 2 and he and Barb came to visit us in Grantham. We had a sandpit in the back garden and Jonny (a full year younger) ended up sitting on my back while I was face down in the sand.
Other more enjoyable times with JD:
The beaches in the Gower – playing in the river and catching fish frys, Christmas time in manor cottages with the smell of the open fire, the holiday in Muker in the yorkshire dales when he had his arm in plaster, playing in the tree house in Quickly lane and making stupid videos with Adam.
These are some of the times that defined my childhood. I don’t think about them as often as I should.
Tis the time to get blogging
Right… being playing around with this site for a while now and while it’s not quite right it’s getting there. Since I first starting thinking about writting a blog lots of thngs have changed. Not least the fact that I’m leaving Channel 4. After only 6 month at the channel I’ve been made redundant. Hey ho… got me a new and hopefully better job at a company called preloaded www.preloaded.com.
I have quite a few topics I’m trying to write up at the moment. I’ve just pubilished my initial stab at writting a set of Hueristics, I’m sure it’s not quite right yet but it’s been enjoyable to put togather
I’m also trying to write something the usability of tag clouds and ambiant signifiers as that seems to be popping up more often.
Time to have a home online.
I’m now on so many sites and social networks that I thought it was time that I had a home online.
Currently I’m just using default wordpress templates but will be dusting off my CSS hat and will try to redesign soon. Also need to work out how to get all my other residences represented here and if I’m just going to show “find me at links” or have feeds from all the other sites.
At the moment I’m on Facebook, LinkedIn, Pownce, Digg, Twitter, LastFM, Flickr, FineTune, Upcoming and Dopplr… having feeds for all these makes for quite a messy page… Will have to consider exactly what I want Nimbleogre.net to do. It’s an agrogator for all my differnt web presence but also some where I want to post my thought about what I do for a living and general musings and thoughts… hmmm tricky.
