You should have seen the Scrabble board tonight. It was violence, pure violence. Sheer lexical brutality. Above this paragraph could be a photo to illustrate my glorious victory – either a snapshot of tonight’s board or something from Flickr maybe, with a classic edition of the board in all its distinctive colours. But I refuse [...]
The 7″ record is 60 years old today! Several have been manufactured since then. I have quite a few. It is a wonderful format, bigger than a CD and rounder and blacker than a digital audio file. Actually the very first one was not black, but green. Thanks to Disgraceland for bringing this anniversary to [...]
I’m currently nursing a desire to create a really useful game-changing paradigm-shifting enormously successful web app. Bear with me because I know exactly how it will all pan out.

At the moment we are doing a real mixed bag of press and radio interviews. Sunday Times magazine carried a feature recently, this afternoon [...]

So I want to blog about the Welsh language, for these reasons: I love it I’m learning it To offer my perspectives Recording my thoughts for a year’s [...]
Quixotic Quisling is a place for half-baked thoughts and dispatches on stuff I find curious. The name of the blog means nothing in particular. It’s my Scrabble® pseudonym. I was imagining a world where Scrabble® players had names, like wrestlers. Hope you like the blog! I love you all. Carl Morris, September 2008
