This blog is moving... 10 Feb 2013 | 10:07 pm
Do what the sign says... Hello there. This is just a quick post to say that this blog isn't going to be updated any more, as I have moved the posts from it to the spangly Will-Humphrey.com. You sho...
Planning x Production... 2 Dec 2012 | 02:23 am
Sort of like this man. The one on the right. Come next March, and I'll have been a planner for six years. And, given that, I thought it was worth thinking about the job, and what's changed, and what'...
Better Problems... 30 Apr 2012 | 10:44 am
One problem looks like the right one... I'm a bit of a stickler for the basics. In fact, I'm constantly worried that I've forgotten what's gone before me; whether it's reminding myself that Gossage k...

I wonder if it's Santa. Photo via jurvetson. Usual rules apply. After what seems to be a (sadly) typical four month pause in blog posts, I've decided to get off my arse and write another. Prompted by...
Johnson, Writing, Briefing and Orwell.. 8 Nov 2010 | 02:11 am
It's been a little while since I updated here. A combination of laziness, work bits and bobs and just not really having much to say has meant I've left WAM well enough alone. Anyway, after going to s...
The folly of categorisation... 2 Aug 2010 | 12:43 am
Harsh, but fair. In recent years, I've become a bit of a muso, as the odd post on this blog (and how I spent my student loan) should testify. And, in no other part of my life do I get as much pleasu...
Obliquity: Why You Shouldn't Behave Economically.. 11 Jul 2010 | 05:23 am
Hello there. It's been a little while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Been busy at work, doing a variety of new business bits and bobs, along with trying to hire a Junior Planner for the burgeoni...
