The most delicious meet-up. Ever.
I’ve been a fan of Ping Pong Dim Sum since they opened one of their first restaurants on Great Marlborough Street, a convenient 30-second sprint from my then office. I’d usually woof down a veggie lunch menu with some lusciously sticky rice and magically shiny baked puffs, while staring intently at a glass of jasmine [...]
I admit defeat
3 blogs, 2 Ning networks, 3 meet-ups and 3 Twitter accounts later, I admit defeat. It is folly. Something’s gotta give. Perhaps it’s a good time to kill off Girl about Web. Would I rather debate the London internet scene or the superiority of cowboy over English boots? You know the answer. See you at [...]

Ladies’ night, take 2, launching Silicon Stilettos
Time flies in a start-up. I started writing this blog just before taking off for America, for almost a month. When I got back, there were enough Huddle things to occupy me day and night.
