Here’s an English translation of the fascinating radio lecture Tynged yr Iaith (Fate of the Language) by Saunders Lewis which was delivered exactly 50 years ago today in a BBC broadcast from a small studio in the centre of Cardiff. The translation is by G. Aled Williams.
I’m very pleased about the yes result in the Referendum on further powers for the National Assembly. These powers will ultimately benefit Wales. This post is only partly about that, it’s certainly not an attempt to sum up the total of my views on the subject – or give you a general picture. I think [...]

Dyma Pethau Bychain. Paid anghofio Dydd Gwener 3ydd mis Medi 2010.
Dw i’n siarad gydag arbenigwyr ar hyn o bryd am drwyddedau Creative Commons a chyfieithiadau Cymraeg. Dyn ni angen trwyddedau Cymraeg i roi’r neges ‘swyddogol’ i’r byd Cymraeg creadigol am ddiwylliant rhydd a Creative Commons. Wrth gwrs maen nhw yn bodoli yn ieithoedd gwahanol. Ond dylen nhw lifo trwy Gymraeg. Creawdwyr! Mae gen ti ddewis! [...]

But it needs to be a good one with the right level of challenge. (Previous posts about learning Welsh) Rhaid i mi fendio her newydd yn fy anturiaethau Cymraeg. Dw [...]
I’m working on an event called The Beach. It’s a game which will take place in north Wales at the end of July 2010. My co-writers are Bethan Marlow and Rhiannon Cousins and it’s in association with and produced by National Theatre Wales. If you want to know more, we’ll be blogging about it on [...]
I’m going to be writing more about politics on this blog. My interest is how politics might relate to technology, business and “ordinary” people in the UK – with a particular emphasis on Wales. As a personal rule I try and stay away from the various personalities and day-to-day machinations, allegiances, squabblings, who wore what [...]
I’ve tried to avoid talking about blogging itself too much here. As in, I don’t do blogging about blogging. That’s not because there’s no value in that exercise nor because I have any particular aversion to meta (in fact quite the reverse). It’s just that I didn’t think I had anything new to say or [...]
Happy new half-year! Back in January I made a resolution to leave my inbox empty every night. I have partially succeeded. It’s forcing me to make those little decisions. It’s a lot more manageable. Hooray! At times I’ve let it slip. But there’s no use feeling any guilt over it. Guilt won’t motivate me, it [...]
