How can you tell?

OK so this headline appeared in last week’s Sunday Times: This is like publishing a headline which shouts: “EXCLUSIVE: McDonalds sells hamburgers!”. Where’s the news here??? Just saying.

Thoughts from Austin

austin-texas

(This is a piece I did for the M&G Podcast this week) I’m in Austin, Texas. Well, that’s true but not absolutely true. I’m at South by Southwest – a week long orgy of a conference that spans the triple disciplines of interactive, film and music, and all the grey areas in between that they [...]
