So I had my geekiest moment last night. An epiphany of geek if you will… I went to bed relatively early after having a pretty rough day, and did the final check of email and twitter and I caught eye of a fist fight little debate that was just winding up on Twitter involving Wadds, [...]
The last few days has seen some of you crazy animals talking about public relations and journalism. Charles Arthur re-stoked the fires a few days back when he suggested that public relations professionals treat journalists like car companies treat suppliers, Wadds and David Phillip both spoke about improving the reputation of the industry by regulation [...]
It’s time to worry people. The economy is fudged, the weather is trying to stop us working and guess what? We have a new type of addiction… Information addiction. It’s true, people every day are streaming away from bars and restaurants to check their emails. Oh, hold on, no their not, they’re simply checking their [...]
I’m not really sure if I’m young enough to be classified as a ‘Digital Native’ but I’m going to play the ignorance card and say ‘yes, yes I am a digital native’. I wanted to try and give you my definition, which may not make much sense, or conveniently agree with more popular and more [...]

Yes, I probably write about this sort of stuff far too often (see here, here and maybe here) but it’s something that repeatedly bugs me. Emails arrive every day, and every day I get a little more frustrated. If I don’t let off steam here, then it could develop into some sort of medical problem. [...]
I was listening to radio four’s Today Programme (fancy, I know, but I don’t understand all the words) on my way into work this morning – which, incidentally, took two hours (thank you Mr Transport Minister for not funding back stocks salt and grit properly) – and they were talking about the Carol Thatcher debacle.
