- Blogging a disaster
I’ll be doing most of my blogging over here for the next few days, as the blogosphere digests those horrific events around the Indian ocean.
- A little good news
Thank goodness for good luck, and for blogs.
Thanks to the luck: our friends Adrian and Susie, currently touring the world, hadn’t quite made the Thai beach they were planning to head for next. They missed the unspeakable horror that rolled in from the sea there yesterday.
Thanks to the blog: they were able to tell everyone.
Meanwhile, [...]
- A very merry Christmas
“So this is Christmas,” they sang, and today they’re right. Not the easiest of run-ups at Chez Tosh, with more trivial problems including the mighty Tesco delivering a Christmas shop a quarter of which was, by the 25th, beyond its sell-by date.
I mean, I’m sure they do their best, but they might guess that [...]
- Incomplete Tosh
A variety of reasons have conspired to keep me away from my beloved blogging tools for the last few days, and those reasons are huddling together and making glances suggesting they’ve got plans for a few more blog-lite days ahead of Christmas. And no, I’m afraid none of them look like a list of Christmas [...]
- Healthy eating in Scotland
You can almost feel the rising panic among English parents today as they read in the Guardian that their children are getting a worse diet than - for goodness sake - Scottish kids. Yes, even western Europe’s number one destination for coronary disease is managing to come up with better stuff for school dinners. That’s [...]
- tBBC’s blogging bootcamp for journalists
Having recently enjoyed lunch with them, I can tell you first hand the Big Blog Company is a savvy operation. They’re spreading the blogging gospel into big business, via some political blogs and one for journalist Stephen Pollard, who has been penning that biography of David Blunkett, and thus also blogging furiously about what is [...]
- Gillmor talks to OhmyNews
Who else would he give an interview to? The South Korean citizen journalist operation catches up with Gillmor at a conference at Harvard Law School over the weekend. He’s not giving much away, saying he doesn’t “have the specifics in place” yet.
“I also want to bring, as (OhmyNews) did, the understanding that professional journalists have [...]
- Let’s go back - way back
The Scotsman has unveiled a wonderful plan to put all its archive content, stretching back to 1817, online. They’ve already started this huge project - the 1817-1900 period is now up, and they plan to do the first half of the 20th century "soon". There can’t be many newspapers in the world with that kind [...]
- Gillmor quits for “personal project”
Dan Gillmor has taken the plunge, and decided to give up possibly the widest roving job in journalism - his technology columnist role at the San Jose Mercury News. He’s going to start up a grassroots journalism venture, for which he apparently has seed funding. More from Jim Romenesko at Poynter and, of course, from [...]
- Ritz roulette gang keep their winnings
Someone should really use this as the basis for a film. From the Times, via John Naughton…
"CASINOS across Britain were reviewing their
security last night after three gamblers who used a mobile phone to win
more than a £1 million at the Ritz were allowed to keep their takings.
A device in the phone allegedly enabled them [...]
