As the first example of my Tienda.co.uk project, we’ve just launched slant1996.com which sells slightly mad t-shirt designs!

I recently helped out updating a friend’s online shop: Nunoya in Barcelona. As well as the obvious stock of kimono and other clothing items, they have some cool accessories. But my favourites are the Kokeshi, which I don’t remember having seen before – slightly mad (in a good way) dolls that look a bit like [...]

Photo by Csaba_Bajko I’m not too bad with timetracking these days.

Engadget: Nokia taps Loudeye for wireless music downloads

Search Engine Watch has an interesting article entitled Search Marketing & the Spanish Speaking Internet discussing the worldwide Spanish-speaking market and its potential value, focusing primarily on Latin America.
