Surprised, honoured and delighted that Philippe included me in his hit list for five blogs that make him think. Which means I have to think about who makes me think. After much contemplating and thinking about thinking and worrying whether I should avoid some of the “big guns” or not, I’ve netted out here. SoContinueContinue reading “i think i’m awarded”

sehr geehrter herr gill
I got this in my mail yesterday. Cracking targeting and localisation example from Spiegel. I assume my subscription to Media & Marketing Europe has spawned this letter but clearly my address is in Gross Britannien. So why send it to me in German? Tut tut. Needless to say this will be gehen sie hier geradeContinueContinue reading “sehr geehrter herr gill”
a little bit of fact and lots of fiction
Someone once said that everyone has a novel inside them. While the great and the good are producing what I hope will be a fantastic collaboration of views on the age of conversation, I figured I should do something a bit more subversive. A few years back Ryan and I wrote a book. Truly. ItContinueContinue reading “a little bit of fact and lots of fiction”

Tache’s are great. And these are just fearsome. The European gallery comes highly recommended. And here’s some tache’s from a strange tequila thing a long time ago. What would we do without chocolate? And here’s a choc-a-holic blog. My 4 year old niece is already addicted. She says, You must have chocolate. Every day. AndContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 03.07.07”
handbag audit
The handbag. Essential for women but in many ways it’s still a mystery to men. Why so big? Why so many? Why so much money? BUT, a lot can be garnered from what’s inside a handbag. Insights into behaviour, lifestyle, beliefs, extra-curricular activities etc. And now you can let Flickr do the hard workContinueContinue reading “handbag audit”
walk london
The tube was too hot. I’d already missed my train. So I got out and walked from Tottenham Court Road to Waterloo. And I took these pictures from the Embankment bridge over a very brown Thames. London always looks nicer in the sun. Shame the camera on my Sony Ericsson XYZR2-D2-whatever it’s called isn’tContinueContinue reading “walk london”
(buzz) stuff and things 20.06.07
Buzz 1: word of mouth. Social infectiousness. Jibber jabber. Call it what you will. Bzz Agent have been going for a while Stateside and have recently started up in the UK. Does it work? Well, as Kevin Keegan once said, “if you don’t buy a ticket you can’t win the raffle.” (How we missContinueContinue reading “(buzz) stuff and things 20.06.07”

I can’t help thinking that the people on the left look like they’re having more fun. Image taken on a trip oop North to Gullivers Theme Park with the nieces and nephews.

Logo a-go-go! After the fiasco of that logo, comes more news that the banking institution known as Barclays is highly likely to change their logo for fear of offending the Dutch if the proposed merger with ABN Amro takes place. While the logo causes less visual intolerance than the 2012 thing, it does strike aContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.06.07”

Forget wikipedia, watch videopedia instead. 5min.com has short, instructional video clips on a whole lot of stuff. (source: iconoculture) Swap the plane for the train & get a first class ticket with Virgin Trains. The bearded one likes green stuff. Interesting that despite staggering out of Euston tube station each day onto the main concourseContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 15.06.07”
