Tales from the Grey Side

Writing

I've been writing a lot lately, and have written more in the last six months than in the rest of my life combined. I'm not sure why, but there are now five books to my name that did not exist before.

Video

Creating short videos is also something that is relatively new to me, but I enjoy it a lot. In about a year I've made nearly 50 video shorts, most of which are available on You Tube and are on this site too.

Work

In theory English language teachers should all be reduntant because everything you need to learn English is already on-line. I've spent, or perhaps wasted, a lot of time creating portals for these resources.

Photos

Photos from most of my holidays and the places I've lived in. Well, most of the places we've been since we got a digital camera anyway. WHo has the time or the patience to scan and upload normal photographs.

Introduction

I've been playing around with creating websites almost since I got my first computer in 1999, and this is the latest version of my home page. It contains links to most of my other web pages, hundreds of them probably; lost and lonely up there in the the new nebula of cyberspace, 21'st century messages in bottles.

Learn English Web Resources

Writing

I've been teaching English as a foreign language for over 13 years now and I used to spend a lot of time creating portals to help students learn English.

Grammarman

A comic book hero who teaches grammar. A clever idea from a certain B.Boyd. My own meagre contribution has thus far been limited to one story (not on line) and a song worksheet

The internet makes it easy to publish on line and it also to publish your own writing in dead tree format.   The only problem is that I still can't get anyone to read it. .

Blogging

Born on the cusp of the digital divide, blogging is something I'm not really comfortable with, which is probably why my Blog died in early infancy, but I might revive it one day. Try Thropplenoggin or Davis W if you want to see what a blog should look like.

Photos

If a picture's worth a thousand words, digital cameras must be responsible for a great deal of verbiage. My Photo Albums can be found here.
