About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

What kind of nutjob came up with a marketing campaign that needs explaining. Christ.

That’s quite a strong reaction there, Jez! Don’t ads often take things from pop culture and use them to make their stuff look cool but without giving any context to it? I thought it interesting that they’ve actually given it a bit of depth here. Y’know, for an advert for hair gel.
