So it’s Interesting on Saturday. I’m getting more excited than is normal, and I want to enjoy the day as much as I can. This means I don’t want to miss out on meeting anyone – too many times I’ve rolled into a building and shyly hidden in a corner –   only to find out…

Lauren tagged me ages ago, so it’s about time I got around to putting down five blogs that make me think. Now there are far more than five, and you all know who you are, so I’m going to choose some that give me a slightly different perspective on stuff….. Fake it until you make…

Ray Kurzweil’s ideas sound daft at first – but before you dismiss him, consider the following: In the the 1970’s he invented programmes to analyze patterns in composers music and make new scores in their own style. In 1984 he made the first electronic gizmo that could perfectly mimic acoustic instruments (Stevie Wonder suggested it).…

Progress is usually considered a good thing. Mostly it is, but sometimes it can be a double edged sword. Of course there’s the usual examples, like nuclear power, or the combustion engine, but maybe there’s other, less obvious implications we don’t consider. Sometimes we can get caught up in the thrill of a new innovation…

I’m a bit dazed and confused after a week of sleeping, eating, reading and drinking, but I’m here. I’m most confused by learning that Rob Campbell has a pair of pert breasts, but let’s set  that aside for now. I need to blog about the PSFK conference and I need to get myself sorted for…

I’m supposed to be on holiday, but… I had a good day at PSFK yesterday. I’m supposed to be blogging about it (they let me in for free), and I promise to do so when I get back next week. For now though, it was well run, the venue was ace, and the speakers were…

You may have noticed I keep going on about heroes. Now David Beckham ISN’T one, for a host of reasons I shouldn’t need to explain. However, you’ve got to admire the way he’s bounced back again. Back in 1998, after THAT World Cup sending off, he was probably the most hated person in the country.…

Famous Rob Mortimer has been searching for that elusive job for a (too!) long time. But he’d better get a move on since his little brother has started his own blog about branding and stuff. If it wasn’t for the fact that Junior is still a student, Mortimer should be very worried, not to mention…

It was a relief to discover that I’m not a poor man’s Bruce Willis after all. Rob was less than kind in confirming this though, and now he’s got his brutal colleague Andy calling me the GI Jane of advertising. It’s enough to make me take another blogging holiday. But I’ll just quietly plot revenge…

Next up in the easy cooking stakes is Pea soup. I promised Simon this a while back, sorry it’s taken so long. This really is easy, and so tasty. Not to mention perfect for veggies. The sweetness of the peas really comes out. All you do is choose how much you want to make, choose…
