Regular readers will remember Ms Debbie Davies who used to hang around the Perfect Path making snowmen and feeding the ducks. She was last seen here being stalked by Clangers. Oh, but now she’s got a sensible job – helping people make videos like this one for friction.tv Do go along and have your say…
Well, more like I have some compassion for him – but “I have compassion for the fool” sounds like something Martin in the Simpsons would get punched for saying (more Simpsons later). I went to the Frontline Club last night, actually, thanks Euan for reminding me that I *paid* to go to the Frontline Club…
Sorry for using his shock tactics to grab your attention, but as I rode home from listening to the troll, Andrew Keen, I realised there was something I could agree with him on: He says Web2.0 is just a mirror for our culture and society. I see a new-found confidence, optimism and freedom. I see…
I’d love to write about what’s going on here at podcamp uk but i’m finding it very difficult because everyone’s so noisy đ What a surprise that when you get a bunch of podcasters together they talk and talk and talk and shout and play music and talk and laugh and shout some more. The…
I’m late. I’m on my way to podcamp uk in Birmingham but forgot that the Victoria line is subject to many and various improvements. This was my first mistake of the day. I think. Maybe I made some others before that, but if I did, their consequences haven’t come home to me yet. So I…

Sixteen years ago this morning, my life-situation went through a quantum leap when my wife said “I think it’s started”. By the end of the day, Ewan was with us and *everything* had changed. It had been hot and humid that week and we were building up to a thunderstorm while I sat around in…
Still musing on the fear of “dark forces”, “bad people”, shifts in power, and similar trivia. In sorting out the Podcast Archive I listened again to Johnnie at “Blogging, A Real Conversation” from 2 years ago. He started with something like this video (though we didn’t have Youtube in them days). [youtube=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YEZHZHNByCs] Johnnie used it…
I was writing a comment on the previous post and feeling constrained and then remembered “It’s my blog, I don’t have to use the comments if I don’t want to”. Which is kind of part of what I was trying to get at before. I also wanted to separate this out from the comments because…
One of Dave Winer‘s best bits of advice is “zag to their zig” and that’s what I’m trying to do with the CafĂ©. Just when it seems that *everyone* in the entire world is getting into online social networking, I want to open a coffee shop and help people meet each other face to face….
