Autobots… Decepticons… Roll Out And Hit The Power Chords!

After all is said and done,
You never walked, you never run,
You’re a winner.
I blame CC Chapman for this one. Honestly. It’s thanks to him that I stumbled over Black Labs reworking of “The Transformers Theme” after the bands disappointment in the attempt that Michael Bay is attaching to the potential sleeper hit of the summer.

I’m Hosting the Leith FM Lunchtime Show Today

It’s Wednesday, and I’m back in Edinburgh, so that means I’m back behind the mic for the two hour lunchtime show on Leith FM between 12 and 2pm (UK time). On 98.8 FM for those of you close by in the capital, or log onto strong>the MP3 Stream if you’re further afield

Getting To London and Yahoo! Hackday

I sat down over the weekend to book travel down to London for the Yahoo Hackday (yes I know, so much for booking in advance, but hey seven days is in advance, isn’t it?). What surprised me is just how expensive the train as a travel option inside the UK has become. Yes if you [...]

Not a store chart, or a local hit parade, but the honest to god, national, [...]

Edinburgh Fringe Press Launch

So thanks to the delights of British Airways scheduling I just missed the press launch for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe program yesterday, so while the headline numbers are impressive (31,000 shows over 250 venues from 18,600 performers) and the press machine is already pointing towards the percieved highlights (the political lyrics about Tony Blair, a [...]

Monaco Grand Prix Circuit Walk

So the plan for today was pretty simple. Do some writing and stuff in the morning, in the evening head out to Mobile Monday at Monaco (and in the process catch up with everyone here to cover the Global Messaging 2007 event on Tue/Wed), and in the afternoon do a bit of sight-seeing. For sight-seeing [...]

Off to Monaco For The Week

Yes the life of a jet-setting blogger and podcaster continues, as I prepare to cover the Global Messaging Conference for Corante in Monte Carlo. The usual events are building up, including a Monaco Mobile Monday, which I should be attending, and the usual industry events, but just decked out with a touch more glamour.
I finally [...]
