A good morning for podcast listening on the train into London. First up Morning Coffee Notes for April 14th from Dave Winer, in which he answers questions for Robert Scoble and Shel Israel about how and why he started blogging and what was the story with the creation of RSS, oh yeah and remembers he…
Recently I’ve been meaning to get this blog firmly back on the wider KM track. I’ve been particularly passionate about weblogging, tagging and borderline obsessive about podcasting (you probably didn’t notice…) but returning to David Gurteen‘s Knowledge Cafe tonight after a few months of not attending reminded me that these cool tools are just ways…
I’ve tried all morning to think of something witty to say about this picture – I guess it speaks for itself. However to anticipate the obvious questions: It was an awayday, it was about 1 o’clock in the morning, I was stone cold sober, and that’s not my hat. If you don’t want awaydays that…
As if the pleasure of face to face conversation with Suw Charman weren’t enough (less whining this time, more scheming… mwah-ha-ha) I also had a brief interlude where a caffeine-pusher barista engaged in conversation with me about my coffee-drinking habits and pressed some freebies (pictured) on me. Oh boy, oh boy, I think this weekends…
Suw looked up long enough for my camera to capture her, but the rest of the time she was clearly tapping away. Johnnie Moore, Minkmedia , Luke Razzell and Connected Blog(with pictures) have all covered the Blogs in Action seminar at the Polish Club, courtesy of Six Apart & Nokia last night too. All the…
Ouch! Just went out to get some lunch, walking through Stratford High St in East London, IT conversations on the player – Marc Canter talking about ourmedia.org and the internet archive – wow this is coo… BAMMM, strange floating sensation followed by face and knees scraping along pavement and then small birds twittering around my…
Just a quick plug for the Cafe in Ray’s Jazz Shop within Foyles in the Charing Cross Road. Excellent coffee, great atmosphere, really cool music and a guy behind the bar who doesn’t really mind having his picture taken, I’m sure. Plus free wifi for customers – way to go Ray! (contrast with Borders over…
I just posted a comment on one of the threads around the Google Autolink debate, thusly: “Is there another way of looking at this? It seems to me that the debate has only been framed so far in either…or terms, ie of the web either being read/writeable or read-only whereas actually it’s been both for…
One of my top new projects this year is to establish a (large) network of people working in public services in the UK. The idea is that there are plenty of people in public service who essentially do a very similar job to one another – it just happens to be serving a particular geographic…
I saw weird stuff in my search query logs today – at first I thought it was funny and a bit crazy that people were finding me through “beastiality”. I tried to think where I’d mentioned (and mispelled) such practices. Then, I happened to look back at an archive post and realised why – although…
