This will be my last post on Vox. I just posted the following on my new blog at adrideo.com -- Since July I've been posting some pretty random ramblings over at Vox. I was just experimenting really - both with blogs as a medium, and with the plat...

British Airways American Express Card

2007-02-08T01:15:18Z

The BA Amex card is a great deal. The mile per penny spent reward is normal, but the 'two flights for one set of miles' voucher issued for every 20 grand spent is an unusually valuable perk. This is especially true for those in the corporate world...

A very Dutch networking opportunity

2006-12-20T01:45:07Z

I've got 20 mins spare while changing planes at Schiphol. I've also got a long list of exciting things. Things I would love to do, but know I will mostly never get round to. One small task is to get some new business cards. Imagine my delight to s...
