So first stop is definitely Glasgow. I’ve booked a train ticket. Otherwise today I’m mostly discarding things that no longer serve me… Plus The two-day open-house creative jam that Martyn had suggested has morphed through our patented process of conversation, reflection and further conversation 😉 into a project to record an album of new and…
In In The Absence Of The Sacred (1991), Jerry Mander wrote: “The corporation is not as subject to human control as most people believe it is; rather, it is an autonomous technical structure that behaves by a system of logic uniquely well suited to its primary function: to give birth and impetus to profitable new technological…
I posted this comment to Andrea Phillips’s blog in response to her post about snarky criticism of Rebecca Black. I don’t think we need to draw a line between whose work deserves to be beaten up online and whose doesn’t – I think the question is really why we think it helps anybody. I thought…
Thinking there's an instructive post to be written around there being more to the social web than Klout & Peer Index in the same way that there was more to blogging than Technorati. Is there anything more to say than that? Probably, and the clue is in the title of this post. Anyone care? PS…

The first couple of arrangements were made within minutes of the letters showing up. 2….
We’re all familiar with being on auto-pilot. Usually because we come to a sudden realisation that that’s where we’ve been. Luckily most of the time it’s because something or someone interrupts us gently.

We expect finished, polished product. For a long time, only the polished was worth publishing – just from a cost point of view. And so people think {if published, then polished}.
