Since the beginning of this year, Dougald has moved from the periphery of my consciousness, as one of those School of Everything chappies to being an important part of my tuttle experience and a bridge to all sort of other interesting people, places and things. When he saw me writing about the tuttle consulting work…
I saw this earlier (the copy reads: “Buy a special pack and we’ll grow a hedge in the British countryside) and muttered to myself: “If you really want to grow a hedge in the countryside, why don’t you just go and do that, rather than making people pay for your poisonous and habit-forming liquor and…
Please. Thank you. I’d love to talk at SXSW interactive in Austin next March about what the Tuttle Club is and what we’ve been learning. The panel is entitled: Community Building: Organization Without Organization And I’ll be trying to answer (at least) the following questions: 1. How do you get people to do something without…
When I was in Berlin a couple of years ago I shot this [blip.tv ?posts_id=479230&dest=-1] I was back on the same spot last week and shot this [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWwGDGtrwc]
I’ve been away from my uke (and not allowed to sing for long in my son’s presence) for at least 10 days and I’m gigging with teh lovely Lawsons et al on Tuesday so I thought I’d better do some practice. And then I thought I’d better record some bits cos there’s lots of new…

I’m realising that much of this feels like school trip reporting – we did this, then we went there, then we did this and then we went to sleep. It has been a bit like that but I hope I’ll be able to write something more reflective once I’ve laid out the bones here. Day…
So I got out of step with this and now I’m trying to catch up all at once. This was the day we left Milan for Nice. So, although the longest journey was behind us (Vienna to Milan) it was still difficult to get up and get on another train for hours especially since neither…
Now, where was I? Too many days with unreliable wifi… So day five was Friday, when i swapped Tuttle for Tyrol. This was to be the longest train day – 4.5 hours Vienna to Innsbruck, and hour stop and then another 4.5 hours Innsbruck to Milan. Phew – that’s a lotta train. Hotel Urania in…
No pics yet because my phone’s running out of juice and there’s only wifi down in the hotel restaurant. A train day today (as is tomorrow) as it takes a surprising 9 hours to get direct from Berlin to Vienna – those of you who, like me have a rudimentary grasp of geography south or…
