No I’m not using adwords on this site, but I wanted to share the selection that came up on a ning social network I’ve just set up for SMC London. All there is on the page for reference is my picture and an introductory post from me, and the title with strap “If you get…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eViRQUec3WQ]The London experiment with weekly media-making meetups continued this evening with another member getting his first taste of videoblogging. Guy West has been a regular at our discussion groups and kindly recorded some audio at one of the meetings. We sat in the brand new foyer of the British Film Institute/National Film Theatre which only…
I was very impressed by Open Coffee last week as you may have noticed, so I went back with more time to spend chatting to VCs, recruiters and entrepreneurs than before. At the end I was really pleased to get to talk on camera to Sam Sethi of Vecosys and Paul Youlten of Yellowikis about…
This is the new Daily Telegraph news room which I had the privilege of seeing at the end of last week. I’d seen the bit on BBC News the other week where some poor Torygraph hack was shown having to make a podcast and video interview in addition to writing a story and complaining that…
I could only make half an hour at Saul Klein’s Open Coffee yesterday but managed to talk to John Hornbaker, Nic Brisbourne, a guy looking for investors for his food social network and Euan before striding off north-eastwards to see a prospect.

I got a last minute invitation(thanks Steve!) to go and hear David Willetts speak at Demos this lunchtime. Here are my lightly edited notes – apologies for poor grammar, any mangling of Mr Willett’s rhetoric or translation of his argument as it passed through my dastardly liberal brain. He spoke on what we owe future…
I was on my way home from a meeting at a bus stop in Victoria Street, wondering why no buses were coming along but some seemed to be coming out of Artillery Row, which is not where they normally come from and then thought that maybe it had something to do with that great f***…
Oooh this has been sitting in the video editing queue for way too long Here are five guys in four clips telling you their different perspectives on what they get out of a meeting of the Atlassian User Group. Mike is one of the top dogs at Atlassian, Livio runs Headshift who sponsored the evening,…
