Welcome to timtiwid.com. Timtiwid stands for -this is me this is what I do and is pronounced tim (like the name) ti (like the neckwear) wid (rhymes with squid).
I set up timtiwid in 2008 as a 'practice what you preach' project.
By day I am the project coordinator for a small charity in the North East of England. Outside of work however, I am a writer, a poet, an artist and a collector. Yet the funny thing is, I've never admitted to being any of those things until recently. I guess you could say I've always held myself back! (See left - image from The Nev Show comic strip)
My working background is in careers advice, and I've lost count of the times I've said that a good C.V only needs to say 2 things - 1. This is Me. 2. This is what I do. When I was trying to decide which project I wanted to work on first, I couldn't choose between them (one of the reasons this archive has built up is because I tended to have huge problems in finishing projects due to last minute crises). I sharpened my metaphorical pencil (above) played around with names, and looked at what kind of 'freeware' was out there, and BAM! Wordpress! Perfect for me. I abbreivated my little 'this is me' mantra, found myself a cheap (ish) host, installed Wordpress 3 times, built this front page and hey presto, much fiddling with skins later, I have outlets for my archive.
What I'm really pleased about though is the way I keep editing my archive as I come to transfer it to the web, finally I like some of it! And I hope you do too.
All of the blogs have email features (I think), but you can also contact me via: richard@timtiwid.com
See you soon.

Timtiwid.com/thecollection is a celebration of the Art of Home Video Entertainment.
Mostly dating from the 1980's, V.C.aRt - The Art of the Home Video Cassette and other 80's Oddments, is my way of making sure such classics as 'Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity' are not forgotten.
