Nearly two weeks ago, I published a book I haven’t finished writing. In fact, I’m probably only about 15% of the way through it, if I’m honest. But I’ve been experimenting with a website called Leanpub that lets you do that, and people can get the book right up front, and then receive updates as [...]

I published my ‘work in progress’ book Music in the Digital Age yesterday and had a bit of a play around with the recommended price. The minimum, however, was zero from the outset and I was quite keen that this be the case. On average, about a third of the people checking the book out [...]

I’ve been working on and off for the past few months on a book I’ve decided to call ‘Music in the Digital Age‘. My intention is to finish it this year – and because the year is going to be a busy one (not least because of my commitment to writing another book called Radio [...]

A few years ago my friend Stef and I built a website on which people could make wishes, and grant each other’s wishes. I say “we” built a website – in fact, Stef built the website and I provided moral support. We used to do this sort of thing on a semi-regular basis, and it [...]

After the relatively slow start to 2009, and the lovely, restful Christmas break, I’ve started organising things for the year, and as I start booking things in, it looks like a pretty busy one. In fact… the past week or so has meant a rapid takeoff in the amount of work and travel I’ve been [...]

I blogged here a couple of days ago that I’ve started a blog for the book I’m writing. I chose the name ‘Now We Are Different’ and added it to the list of blogs I’m running at WordPress.com. These are not the blogs that I host myself, just those scrap-booky ones where I throw stuff [...]

Remember how I said I was starting to write a book? Well anyway – I said I was going to write a book. Even did a bit of research and mapped out a structure for that book. It’s about how human beings have changed in response to shifts in the media environment. Interesting stuff – [...]
