A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Blood, Sweat and Luxuries (BBC)
«Six young British consumers swap their luxury lives for the simple mud huts and shanty towns of Africa and Asia to work alongside the people who mine, manufacture, process and recycle luxury goods». «Contains some upsetting scenes.» Since ‘…and T-Shirts’, and what with ‘…and Takeaways’ (which I’ve just discovered and haven’t seen) the producer of this series seem to be on a roll. And the guys in this series are actually putting their back into it, which is more than can be said for some of the wimps on ‘…and T-Shirts’.
