Cartoon by: Hugh MacLeod Meteor: Hey look at me, I’m new and exciting and add something really useful to what we’re all trying to do here. I let you do the stuff that you’ve always wanted to do. Dinosaur: You are a dangerous fanatic. Your “innovation” is not new. You can’t do what you’re doing…
Last night I took my son up to the Pump House Jazz Club in Watford to hear his Grandad playing. I have been very slack in ensuring that my kids have fully appreciated their musical heritage on my side of the family. When I was a child every Sunday meant a trip to the Shantasea…
SOLT launched their ‘blog’ The Alternate yesterday. OK, I’m still trying to get my head round the strapline “An alternative view of Theatreland from www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk” I will give it some time to find it’s feet, but honestly what is alternative about this? What does the title mean? I’d love to see some posts on what…
Can’t be bothered to dig out an exact quote on the amount of cocaine that is alleged to be stuck to banknotes in the circulation, and I don’t know (naturally) how you would go about extracting it, but I think there’s at least a feasibility study to be done on how much you could make…
It seems it’s my time to go conference bananas this month. On Saturday 18th I’m doing one of my trademark open space lite sessions at Podcastcon UK which is being held quite inappropriately, I’m sure you’ll agree in an old meat market (it’s actually really nice, I have had a look). I had hoped to…
This lunchtime I had to be home to greet some very nice eastern european workmen who were coming to fix up my letterbox (we’re having a whole revamp of the common areas in Dolphin Sq) What I didn’t realise was that they were also removing the catch on my cubby-hole (where I put my rubbish…
Rosie drew this comment out of me last night on the previous post and even in the cold light of day I thought it worth promoting to the front page: I think it comes down to a simple premise – that good, lasting, profitable business arises out of good relationships. How do you improve any…
Last summer I wrote this and it set me on a slow plod to try to get theatres and arts organisations into the blogging and social media space. I pitched to a couple of theatres and sent material to lots more, but It’s never really got enough momentum behind it and there seemed to be…
dalek tea party Originally uploaded by Lloyd Davis. A trip for tea to Elys in Wimbledon (much more exciting that Starbucks or Coffee Republic and with water, unlike all of Wimbledon Village) yielded a bit of a surprise and a disappointment for anyone who’d been pinning their hopes on getting into what is clearly an…
Not much time for original blogging today – so a little trip to the archives instead, especially for those who are relatively new here. For some reason, this song feels very apt at the moment…. (ignore the rambling bit at the beginning, unless you’re interested in what podcasting was like back in the early, early…
