OK, is it just me, or does the right hand bit of this header graphic from an esteemed public service organisation remind you of a famous creation of Walt Disney? Y’know, if you screw your eyes up a bit…

So how do we make money?
I’ve had this conversation a few times recently and just realised I hadn’t written about it here. It comes from putting all of these things together: Democratisation of media – “anyone” (ok, not anyone, but a lot more people than before) have access to technology that allows them to produce written, audio and video content…

The Normal Business Person’s Guide to Blogs, Wikis & RSS
“I have too much to read – I can’t keep up” “E-mail has stopped being productive for me, but I don’t know what else to do” “Communication’s really bad around here, nobody knows what’s going on.” “Oh God, I didn’t know we had a project team working on that.” “Advertising just seems to have stopped…

Ugliest Dog ever
I wouldn’t normally be interested in dog sites, especialy ugly dogs. Personally, I aspire to having a cat blog, perhaps one like Gia’s. But there’s a special reason for linking to The Ugliest Dog in the world (WARNING: link is nsfgosm – not safe for granny or small children), and it involves an upcoming talk…

Open Tech 2005
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…

Another bunch of bombs
Two weeks after the last lot, the tube network was at standstill again because of explosions. Thank goodness they were smaller and relatively insignificant. Still enough to seriously put the wind up you if you were involved. Here’s just hoping that this isn’t going to be a repeat of the IRA tactics when they found…

[ sign up in the comments to Lee’s post on geekdinner.co.uk ] Lee sez: “Venue is the luxurious Bar Blanca, 3/4 Sherwood Street, London W1 [map]. We have hired out…

Holy theatrical blogsites!
Another blog-baby so cigars all round – I can’t take full responsibility for this one though, Noël clearly just needed a gentle push in the right direction. So the production journal for Holy Ghost is up and running, and taking comments. The hope is that this will be a full company affair with contributions from…

Blogging a theatrical production
I came across an interesting discussion thread on the excellent Soflow network yesterday (you may have heard Robert Loch, founder of Soflow, admiring my t-shirt on the podcast). A young lady in South Carolina was asking about advertising for theatre. It struck me as ironic – and I said so – that just as advertising…

Night of the long noses part II
So after Seth Godin had sat down, crumpled in a heap after his marathon hour and a half talking and answering questions, I popped around the room to find out what people in the audience thought. Quite a few people left straight away (well it was after 9pm – gasp!) but I’m sure you’ll agree…
