- Liiive, from St Petersburg, Fl
Now, happily, installed in St Petersburg, Florida, and all set for a day of musing on the future of online journalism at Poynter’s Web+10 confab. Updates later, assuming jetlag doesn’t cause my forehead to slam off my table around 6pm.
- You’re going nowhere.
Gatwick, 1330.
I saw it the moment they wheeled out British Airway’s Gatwick Duty Officer (customer service) to speak to us, grouped uncomfortably in our little pen by the gate. Already told my original BA flight – the one on which I’d carefully booked a decent seat - was going to be fulfilled by someone called [...]
- Right. I’m off
I’m pointed west, to St Petersburg in Florida, for the Web+10 doo at Poynter. A glorious confab of around 40 souls in the online journalism biz, coming together for four days from Sunday in an attempt to hammer our a vision of where in hell it’s all going. The agenda I’ve been sent offers some [...]

The Observer also [...]

- Times: Google set to challenge BT
A curious story in today’s Times: the paper says Google is ready to take on BT, and enter the world of voice-over-IP telephony. With Google - lots of brainy people looking for ways to spend loads of cash - nothing would particularly surprise me, but the story doesn’t feel quite right. To quote:
"The company behind [...]
- Bloggies
I’m pleased to note that January’s "one-post-a-week" strategy for Completetosh paid off; that near-inevitable Bloggies nomination was avoided, just.
- A glimpse into the darker recesses of my listening habits
Doing an online tax return, so need something to calm the nerves. So… er… Smoothjazz.com is on… and it plays Chris Botti’s smooth jazz cover of Sade’s No Ordinary Love. Now that really is smooooth. To the last micron.
- Creativity. Mains electricity. Powertools. Mmm…
