Hugh wrote something the other day that stopped me in my tracks. The reason being is it hits pretty close to the bone on a bit of what I’ve been feeling in the fallout. Meaningful Work or Death. Any other form of existence doesn’t interest me. Thanks Be To God. What happens when work noContinueContinue reading “When work is no longer meaningful”

Me in Machinima…
The other week in Second Life (SL) there was a Creative Commons / Popular Science run event with different artists singing. One was Jonathan Coulton, from Flickr movie and Thing A Week fame.

Down and out in paradise
Being the IT guy, at work I’m usually kept in the back corner office beavering away keeping the electrons zooming for the rest of the plebs sitting at the ends of the 10Base100. Meanwhile I know we have many any varied public come off the streets and into our building to use our free publicContinueContinue reading “Down and out in paradise”

Between a laugh and a tear
Well it would seem I’m slowing climbing out from whatever rock it was that landed on me. For those not in the know, I had what the Doctor termed an ’emotional breakdown’ and what I termed ‘falling apart’ about 6 weeks ago. I ended up in hospital for chest pain and stayed there a fewContinueContinue reading “Between a laugh and a tear”
Colour returns
Just caught up this morning with the recent Apple announcements about the new iPod lines etc. The release of the iPod nano in colours again twigged something I’d written in this blog back in April titled Classic colour Apple’s done well to foster this ‘emotional connection’ via music with the iPod. I’m wondering perhaps weContinueContinue reading “Colour returns”

Lifekludging Innovation
There I was, feeling very uninspired reading through my blog feeds and JP went and shook me with another gem, this time about innovation. The technique was the innovation. As a consumer I could apply that technique to whatever I felt like, and creativity could flow. Innovation happens when the consumer applies an innovative techniqueContinueContinue reading “Lifekludging Innovation”

Death brings new life to supply
Doc says: III. Advertising is going to die. PR is already dead. Advertising has a problem. It’s not efficient. …………. But it’s still waste. The day will come when something new will connect demand and supply directly and efficiently. (Maybe Google will do that too… who knows?).
