Holiday (at last)
Mucking about in the Pyrenees. On holiday and offline (largely). Back on Monday:-)
Family,
So is it still a meme the second (or third) time it comes around?
Remember the old corporate anthem, Our vision of global strategy by good old KPMG? It established the corporate anthems meme (it was Chris Raettig who started the meme proper…) which ran and ran with contributions...

Billy just sent me a link to a great piece on Google’s total unaccountability.
Cadbury creme egg cake
Mainly I'm telling you this because it permits me to use the word "viscosity" and I never get to do that.
Creationist bollocks
So somebody tell me how the creationist mafia is managing to skew Google’s video search results? It seems like whatever you search for on video.google the results are at least 60% creationist films. Weird.

Now this is bloody fantastic!
American car company Chevy decides to let folks create their own Chevy ads (very zeitgeisty dear, well done…) and then this nice man decides to use the same tool to point out how evil the SUV is.
Priceless
Been doing some research on the old co-creation thing for a presentation at work and came across Mastercard’s priceless site. The site gives you two videos to watch (they don’t work on Mac/Firefox) and then asks y...

KM with ambient knowledge
Great piece on ambient information at Headshift (I feel so left out not making it to ETECH seems like everybody I read online was there…).
Sleepy baby (moments I want to remember)
Hi Hal, it’s half-past twelve in the morning and you finished struggling with your insides about half an hour ago (looks v. sore, lots of grumbling and crying). You’re almost three weeks old and are sleeping in yo...
In our story,Blogger, spam, and why I wrote my first blogging app
In days of yore, before Donkey was published using movabletype, I wrote an application to publish this blog. Like most of the software I’ve created, it was pretty rubbish, but in fairness, it did support three gro...

Boring dad stuff
Well it’s been a week now and CU-2 is eating non-stop (even makes sucking noises in his sleep, Nick’s nipples are taking a serious battering) and developing well. Last night early this morning I had a session with...
