I read. A lot. In fact, I probably spend around 20% of my week crawling around the internet from one place to the next – news articles, government announcements, company websites, links, Tweets, blogs, videos and anything in betwixt. Most of it I’ll discard, some I’ll log and store away for another day and some I’ll incorporate into the green house or my own working methods.

The majority of it, however, seeps back into the recesses of the internet – it’s job of being there when needed fully complete. One of my (many) new years resolutions is to keep some form of record of the things I look at and find on my travels each week, not necessarily for my benefit but for anyone really. I already Tweet most of the things I find in real-time but I thought a weekly blog post would be nice just to bring it all together once a week

The things I’m particularly interested in are environment, food and drink and design so I’ll try to organise them in some way to save you trawling through everything.

So, here we go – 2010, Wk1
