I am Tom Steel
I’ve recently built a new “home” page to link my online appearences together – this blog, my photo site, LinkedIn profile and twitter account.

How far can you take TV merchandising?
Following from my earlier post about a bloody bathmat, while I was looking for Dexter links I found the official “Showtime” website, the American network which premiers Dexter. You can buy merchandise for their TV shows, and I was intrigued by what merchandise they sold for a TV programme about a blood splatter analysis serial…

If Dexter was your friend
I’ve been watching a lot of Dexter recently on my daily commute, and in my daily blog tour I noticed this:
