_ /rant over

ok so I got that out of my system. Thought I'd repost my post about the new website just to keep it on top of things. It's my blog and I'll make loads of posts if I want to ;-)

_ a twisted logic

"thrown sideways into a backwards parallel universe"

Here's a little story for you.

A shoe-maker makes a shoe. It's a very pretty shoe indeed. However, when it goes on sale, it's actually a very uncomfortable shoe. Lots of women can't actually fit their feet into this pretty shoe, so, surely, he can't be a very good shoe-maker after all? Surely it means that the shoe is never bought, the reputation is destroyed and the cobbler goes out of business because, after all, what else is a shoe made for than to be worn?

But this is 2008 and it seems it's not the shoe-maker's fault after all, it's the feet. Of course. So the feet don't fit the pretty shoe; what options are there?

Foot surgery it seems. Yes, it's true. If the shoe don't fit, fix the foot. I feel almost as if I've been thrown sideways into a backwards parallel universe.

Oh, but fear not. It does all make sense. Honest. That shoe-maker I told you about? It's Jimmy Choo. Or Manolo Blahnik. Or countless other magic cobblers. See? It all becomes crystal clear now doesn't it.

_ new website

Tonight the new website goes live :-) Not all the links are linked, and it's not 100% finished, but it gives you a very good idea indeed.

...and don't worry, a decent URL is in order, I know.

Visit the work in progress here: http://www.freewebs.com/williamecho

Let me know if there's anything wrong!

_ Earth Hour

Google is doing it.


William Echo is doing it.


You should do it too! 8-9pm, tonight - turn your lights off, turn your computer off, turn your tv off at the wall. Look at the sky, you might just see some stars. Wouldn't that be nice in London? Wouldn't it be nice. Wherever you are, turn everything off, and think about the big picture.
