Starting up: An intro | Benji's Blog

West Ham: a minority of morons must not define us. Starting up: Chasing money →. Starting up: An intro. April 29, 2013. Almost exactly a year ago, I decided to leave the Guardian. I didn’t really know what I was doing. I’d been travel writing. For them (and others) since my final year of university and had moved in house as a writer and digital producer in 2009. A good stint, but time to go. I spent a few weeks shouting at the moon, did a few freelance gigs, and then signed up to a General Assembly.

On journalists and developers | Benji's Blog
https://benjilanyado.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/on-journalists-and-developers
West Ham: a minority of morons must not define us →. On journalists and developers. July 13, 2012. When I started out as a journalist seven years ago, I had no idea what a developer was – columnists and editors were the rock stars of the business, the computer guys were the IT department who could upgrade your Photoshop or give Quark a kick when it froze.

Into the unknown…looking for squidgy bits | Benji's Blog
https://benjilanyado.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/into-the-unknown-looking-for-squidgy-bits
The web and the Minimum Viable Message. Internet, I love you but you’re bringing me down →. Into the unknown…looking for squidgy bits. May 2, 2012. After a very enjoyable period in-house at the Guardian, I’ve decided to re-enter the freelance realm. I’ve loved the writing… and have been a very lucky boy. My meanderings took me to nudist protest beaches in Bulgaria. Candlelit shanty towns in Uruguay. Ancient workshops in Istanbul. And lots of other places, via dozens of TwiTrips. As written about here.
