Photo by Tomas Whitehouse I travel a lot, and I do a lot of public speaking. Mostly about Music in the Digital Age, but also about other things – from creative enterprise to time management, the music industry to radio. Whisky too, on occasion. I’m NOT going to be travelling in June, for various reasons [...]

This week, it’s been ten years since I started blogging. Lots of people I know have been blogging for at least that long – but when it actually happens to you, it’s nice to pause and think about what that means. As I recall, I was teaching a 3rd year radio class at AUT, and [...]

To which my simple, immediate and gut-response was simply “you’re wrong”. James tweeted a link to [...]

My Internet use is likely to be quite different in 2012. For the past month or so, I’ve been evaluating what I do online, and actively cutting down on some stuff. I’ve closed my account with almost thirty services I no longer want to be involved with. Today, that’s culminated in the deletion of my [...]
