OK, so I got a new mic at last. The old clip-on one finally fell to pieces around Christmas when it got pulled in and out of my one-man-media-empire back once too often. I got round to popping into Maplin’s yesterday and picked up this omni-directional stereo jobby which seems to work quite nicely thank…
Yesterday, Debbie and I went along to EMI Music with Al Tickell of Creative & Cultural Skills to talk to their head honcho Tony Wadsworth. We made the first of a series of podcast interviews with industry people to support the consultation process being facilitated by Policy Unplugged on the proposed Creative & Media 14-19…
If video doesn’t play please download it here When I was sitting on the podcasting and videoblogging panel at B4B I just saw 3 or 4 suits animatedly jiggling and nodding and generally getting excited on the front row. Then one of them piped up during questions and explained that he was the managing director…
If video doesn’t play please download it here I’d had some contact with Joanna before because I did a slot on blogging for IDM at Internetworld last year. I’m hoping that her experience here will feed through into other events that IDM get involved in. Of course I’d love to help in any way I…

On Thursday, I went over to the fantastic Wilton’s Music Hall in the East End to listen to a lecture organised by The Young Foundation on ageing and age discrimination. John Browne, chief executive of BP spoke and took questions about the issue. Afterwards I spoke to Geoff Mulgan (pictured right) about what he’d heard…
The Policy Unplugged gang were invited to Parliament this week to meet politicians and policy makers at a Technology Demonstration Morning at Portcullis House and to talk about their radical brand of events – what Steve Moore is now calling “social conferences” (much more descriptive I think than ‘unconference’, though the concept is similar).

OK – so the first of my new projects to see the light of day (your luminescence may vary) is called “All this…and brains too!” and you can find it down at: http://www.perfectpath.co.uk/atab2 for the time being. Euan said, in response to the shampoo/shower extravaganza, “Lloyd Davis is either a genius or a nutter. I’m…
Last Tuesday I had the honour and pleasure of helping out at a dinner to get people together to talk about Working Together 2, an initiative to help the public sector to work more intelligently with digital entrepreneurs and innovators when using technology to support service reform, rather than always plumping for the “safe” option…
