Words from nowhere: Squib
Jul 30th
Watching the IT Crowd (which is blinking hilarious) and there was a whole gag about mispronouncing a word but being sure that you are saying it correctly. The phrase was ‘like a damp squib’ and the character was sure it was ‘squid’ – which was funny.
I then turned to Chad and asked what actually is a ‘squib’? He didn’t know, so hey presto wikipedia informs me:
A squib is a miniature explosive device used in a wide range of industries, from special effects to military applications. They resemble tiny sticks of dynamite, both in appearance and construction, although with considerably less explosive power.
So there you are! My word from nowhere.
Loved stuff: My Nike IDs
Jul 17th
I am totally in love with my new Nike ID trainers. They are so comfy and feel like a pair of slippers. They are my perfect trainers because I designed them on an app on my iPhone a month ago. They then get made especially for you. How cool is that? Not at all expensive either.
Check out the website www.NIKEiD.Nike.com.
Love Nike even more now.
Loved stuff: Inspiring people
Jul 15th
Over the course of the last few months I have made a number of new acquaintances, friends and people that I have reconnected with that have really inspired me. Past uni folk, people that I have met up with through Twitter engagement and through work. These people are smart, kind and thoughtful. Great stuff.
