What I’ve Been Doing

No time to go into this in detail right now, but check out the Perfect Path Plodder meets Ms Useful Sounds over on cruel to be kind. In a rare instance of me podcasting while sitting down, we chat about the upcoming PodcastconUK.

So you all read what I said about the Queen’s Telly Club a few weeks ago (it’s not really the Queen’s and it’s not really a telly club, it’s the Royal Television Society Convention, but I just can’t help myself sometimes). Well by a secuitous route from there and through the process of me repeatedly…

God what a geekfest. The upside of today was that I got to hear people more obsessed with media hacking and social software than I am – talking tech. The downside was that personal hygiene isn’t high on the agenda for quite a few members of this community. I came away not sure whether my…

A fine time was had by most last night at the Texas Embassy. Seth Godin gave a very generous speech and question and answer session, with the only proviso that questioners had to wear false long noses as seen on the cover of his latest book “All marketers are liars” (Can you tell he’s in…

Peter Martin of Junkk.com is blogging. A couple of weeks ago, he hardly knew what a blog was. Then he took his company to Internetworld and while on the stand got talking to Geoff Jones and came and heard my talk on blogging & marketing. I could tell he got it, but wasn’t sure if…

I’m very sad. I just love acronyms and when I realised that Blogging – a real conversation, the NMK event yesterday, could be reduced to Barc, I was inordinately pleased. Small things. I shall write more on this today, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve made a wiki page available to capture…

True connie-sewers of the podcasting art will already be subscribed to http://www.perfectpath.co.uk/psc/index.xml in both their newsreaders and their podcatchers and will therefore be savouring the dulcet tones of Andrew Webster, Executive Director of Social Services for the London Borough of Lambeth over on Public Service Conversations. For the rest of you – geddover there now…

Some time about 15 years ago, I spent way too much time creating fractal images on my mono-monitored, 10MB hard-disk 286 PC, using BASIC I think, or maybe Turbo C. It took a long time to do those calculations and showing a Mandelbrot set at anything like an interesting level of definition could require an…

A great antidote to the summer heat is the air-conditioned peace of an art gallery. This week, I’ve done more in two days than in the past six months I think. Yesterday, I saw the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy in Piccadilly. There are some gems but a couple of rooms had the air…
