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…
People coming to live in the UK from elsewhere, particularly Americans, are often astounded by the TV Licence, which is how we fund the BBC. For some it confirms their idea that we’re all submissive, unimaginative and just a bit dim when it comes to commercial opportunities, for others it looks like yet another communistic…
Perhaps the only advantage print has over online for me is that I was able to sneak a look at this FT article while waiting in an office lobby today without paying for the privilege. News Corp. does provide full text of the speech though (link from Jeff Jarvis). On balance I’d say “Too little…
Ok, so I didn’t think this one through entirely. 1. You are not allowed to take photographs in the galleries of Tate Modern. 2. It’s generally so quiet and people are walking around looking for interesting things that I felt even more self-conscious about talking. So 3. There are many more edits than usual but…
I’ve been looking back at some work I did a couple of years ago on customer focus for a large government department to try to explain how a simple Pinpoint workshop works – I’m having trouble writing a case study (soooo boring) so I just thought I’d write it out here and see where that…
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…
In which Jeannine Saba of Lost for Words meets the world’s worst audio interviewer and is mysteriously compelled to tell him the story of her amazing business [parental warning: contains repeated & annoying mmmm-ing, uh-huhing and one explicit reference to cheesecake]. This is the first in an occasional series of interviews I’m doing with friends…
The Podwalk009 podcast was meant to come to you earlier, hot off the minidisc as I ended the walk in the land where the baristas wear black and green. But I had a Starbucks wi-fi malfunction and then I needed lunch and nothing in Tate Modern tickled my fancy. There will be a visit to…
Evan Williams is interviewed at Ipodlounge (says Dave Winer on his newly minted podcatch.com) and quoted thusly: “…More good ideas in the world. More knowledge. Less ignorance. Less conspiracy. Less corruption. And more funny. That seems important to me.” Mmmmmm… “More knowledge. Less ignorance” – hey you know a great way to deal with that…
I’m amazed at how many people continue to end up here looking for stuff on Alan Sugar and BBC Two’s The Apprentice – surely other people are blogging about this more than me? Anywho – I’ve missed a couple of episodes (goodbye to the dreary Rachel and Sebastian) but just saw tonight’s Farmers Market show….
